Book Description
From his self-described spiritual fence to the source and summit of faith, Steve McCoy-Thompson takes us on a personal journey of conversion that is moving, funny and very practical. RCIA Journey is a joyful, challenging, sometimes painful story of his year as a candidate experiencing the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Throughout this journey, the Nicene Creed serves as a touchstone to ask and ultimately answer the fundamental questions many of us have when approaching the Catholic faith. With sections like Steves First Letter to the Pasadenians (to his parents) and a fresh perspective on timeless questions of free will, heaven, prayer, miracles and the meaning of the sacraments, RCIA Journey is the perfect book for everyone on the journey to a deeper faith.

Book Description
Christian initiation is a gradual process "suited to the spiritual journey of adults that varies according to the many forms of God's grace, the free cooperation of the individuals, the action of the Church and the circumstances of time and place". How does that fit into a program modeled after the school year? It doesn't, argues Mary Birmingham. The Rite of Christian initiation of adults describes an initiation process that exists at the heart of the church's life and on the same schedule as the church: every day, all year long. This book will help you imagine, envision, understand and implement a year-round catechumenate in your parish. --Book cover

Author: Scott Weeman Publisher: Ave Maria Press ISBN: 1594717265 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 192
Book Description
Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.
Author: David Currie Publisher: Ignatius Press ISBN: 1681490587 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 228
Book Description
David Currie was raised in a devout Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both parents teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie's whole upbringing was immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism - theology professors, seminary presidents and founders of evangelical mission agencies were frequent guests at his family dinner table. Currie received a degree from Trinity International University and studied in the Masters of Divinity program. This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important theological and doctrinal beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary.
Author: Peter Kreeft Publisher: Ignatius Press ISBN: 1681490706 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 436
Book Description
For the first time in 400 years the Catholic Church has authorized an official universal catechism which instantly became an international best-seller, the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Using this official Catechism, the highly-regarded author and professor Peter Kreeft presents a complete compendium of all the major beliefs of Catholicism written in his readable and concise style. Since the Catechism of the Catholic Church was written for the express purpose of grounding and fostering catechisms based on it for local needs and ordinary readers, Kreeft does just that, offering a thorough summary of Catholic doctrine, morality, and worship in a popular format with less technical language. He presents a systematic, organic synthesis of the essential and fundamental Catholic teachings in the light of the Second Vatican Council and the whole of the Church's Tradition. This book is the most thorough, complete and popular catechetical summary of Catholic belief in print that is based on the universal Catechism.
