Description: A Recipe for Hope: Stories of
Transformation by People Struggling with
Homelessness, by debut author Karen Skalitzky,
dispels the misconceptions around
homelessness. It contains first-person
accounts by some of Chicago’s most diverse
voices. Collected from the men and women of
Inspiration Corporation, an organization
dedicated to helping the homeless back to
self-sufficiency, these true stories challenge
modern preconceptions of homelessness and
demonstrate how this often “faceless”
problem affects everyone, regardless of race,
color, creed or economic status.
These riveting portraits include the story of
a man who, although raised in an affluent,
white, suburban family, one day found himself
destitute and living in shelters, only to make
the long journey back to mainstream society
through his involvement in theatre and art, as
well as the former policewoman who quit her
job so that she could follow her dream of
serving the poor. These stories are redemptive
oral histories that depict struggle and
defeat, victory and love. But most of all,
these are stories about each and every one of
us, because this is not a book for people
hoping to change the world—it’s a book for
people who are hoping to change themselves.
Perfect for churches, schools, libraries,
recovery groups, service volunteers, or anyone
with an interest in social justice, A Recipe
for Hope includes recipes by several of
Chicago’s finest chefs that are delightful
and meant to be shared.

Description:
Some days, Dad, you just can’t get ahead. You’re arguing with your moody
teenager, misinterpreting your young child’s drawing, or getting yet another
gray hair from one of your kid’s crazy antics.
But there are also the days like the first time you held your baby daughter, or
watched your son cradle in his arms his own first child, or admired a work of
beauty in a museum with your daughter.
Fatherhood is full of ups and downs, and in Love Never Fails author Patrick T.
Reardon celebrates both the joys and the sorrows of parenting. In the end, he
shows that fatherhood can require a lot of work, but a father’s love never
fails.
The reflections in Love Never Fails are accompanied by an inspirational quote
from Scripture, contemporary music, or literature, and a link to a website with
practical advice on the issues discussed in the reflection.

God
First Loved Us: The Challenge of Accepting Unconditional Love
Author/Editor:
Antony F. Campbell, SJ
Publisher: Paulist Press
Order No: 0-8091-3977-4
Retail Price: $9.95
Publisher website: http://www.paulistpress.com
Audience: Adults
Medium: Book
Book
Description: This book is a profound reflection on God\'s unconditional love
for humanity. Yes, we "know" that God loves us, but if we were to be
at all times consciously aware of this unconditional love, to accept it, and to
act upon it, says the author, we would find our lives transformed. An entire
shift in attitude would be demanded. Accepting God's love is accepting God\'s
total passion for humanity and thus Christ's full passion on the cross.
Accepting that God loves us unconditionally eliminates fear of judgment and
hell, eliminates emotional distance from God. This demands a new motivation for
"being good," motivation that comes purely from our own integrity.
At once challenging and liberating, this book—
—revises our understanding of such matters as original sin, the kingdom of
God, and Jesus\' incarnation, death, and resurrection
—sheds new light on human fear, limitation, and suffering
—shows how God\'s unconditional love leads naturally to the search for social
justice
—concludes with a meditation on Christ\'s passion from varying points of view
of the people present
God First Loved Us is inspirational reading for—
o preachers
o pastors
o spiritual seekers
o anyone wounded by life
o spiritual directors
o clergy and religious
o seasonal prayer groups
o religious educators
o anyone alienated from the church
“A gem of a book . . . to be read over
and over again.”
—Robert Schreiter, Chicago Theological Union
“.
. . A book of great wisdom, written simply, directly and humanly. One could use
it as a source of reflection about God and oneself for the rest of one’s life
. . . .For your own sake, savor this book and then treasure it for the
future.”
—Bernard J. Cooke
"The simplicity and underlying truth of this book, that God loves us
unconditionally, remains a haunting refrain long after one puts the book
down. It calls one to respond with unimaginable trust and openness to the
gospel truth: God loves us/me unconditionally."
—Sr. Judy Vallimont, SSpS., Ongoing Formation - CDM
University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein, IL
"This book is radical and inspiring, learned and lucid, wise and
humane."
—Gerard W. Hughes, SJ

Description: In this new critical
translation of Pope John Paul II’s magnum
opus, internationally renowned biblical
scholar Michael Waldstein presents John Paul
II’s magnificent vision of the human
person with meticulous scholarship and
profound insight.
In this vision, John Paul II presents a
catechesis centered on the human person,
understood within the Mystery of Christ. Going back to the biblical “beginning” as recorded in
Genesis, the pope discusses the bodily
dimension of human personhood, sexuality,
and marriage and celibacy in the light of
biblical revelation.
Complete with a new introduction and
new footnotes, this edition has been crafted
with a penetrating eye to the past twenty
years of study since John Paul II gave his
Theology of the Body talks.

Description: This is a simple introduction
to the basic premise of Theology of the
Body. It explains how our bodies are
symbolic, free, meant for love, and redeemed
by Christ. It presents unambiguous reasons
for the Church\'s teaching on premarital
sex, contraception, homosexuality,
pornography, and more. And it gives reason
to hope that the love we crave so deeply is,
in fact, promised us by God...from the
beginning. |

Medium: Book
Book
Description: This is the first book that captures the heart of the ageless
classic The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, and presents its essential
message of love in a kid-friendly manner that children can understand,
appreciate, and apply.
Best-selling writer Elizabeth Ficocelli, with her special gift of making
religion fun and understandable to children, now brings this ageless classic
The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas à Kempis, to a whole new
audience—children.
Writing in a kid-friendly and kid-relevant style, the author instills in
children the same principal messages of the adult version. It teaches young
people how and why to make Jesus our leader, provides practical ways to help
the child become a better follower, and deepens the child\'s appreciation for
the most intimate way we come in union with Jesus—the Holy Eucharist.
This is the first book to capture the primary teachings of this timeless
spiritual classic and present them in a manner that kids can understand,
appreciate, and apply. Aimed at children 8-12 who have made their First Holy
Communion and who are preparing for Confirmation, it will be a wonderful
spiritual addition to religion classes whether in parochial school or in church
religious education classes.

Questions: Yes

Description:
Our Holy Father has chosen love as the topic for his first encyclical, his
first "letter to the world." Why love? He explains that the statement
"God is love" is at the very heart of our faith. It touches
everything we are and everything we do. Being a Christian, he says, is the
result of our astonishing encounter with God--who first loved us. Each of these
daily reflections are drawn from the Pope\'s encyclical, and each is
accompanied by a related Scripture passage, a prayer, and an action response to
the daily challenge to "walk in love."
