Book Description
In Drawing Near, John Bevere invites readers to explore a life of intimacy with God. Emphasizing the need for obedience, he urges us to practice-just as we would practice anything we hope to improve-our communication with the Holy Spirit. Understanding that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue, Bevere encourages us to listen at the Father's feet. Study questions in each chapter offer opportunity for reflection, and a "How to draw near to God" section offers practical steps toward developing true intimacy with Him.

Book Description
"Anastasis: The Harrowing of Hades" is a full-colour Christian graphic novel that explores what happened to the Old Testament souls in Hades, the emotional build-up to the fateful crucifixion and the consequences of Christ's enigmatic descent into hell. You will find this book packed with Biblical references, writings from the Church fathers (Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Ephrem the Syrian and more!), and gripping storytelling. The hand-drawn illustrations pay homage to ancient Christian iconography and the resurrection narrative. While we don't have conclusive details on what took place over the three days Christ spent in the tomb, this book is an honest take on what might've transpired and what it means for us today.

Book Description
What a marvelous difference it makes in our lives when we draw close to the Holy Spirit! Regardless of what our past has been, in every trial or difficulty that may afflict us now, whatever we may face in the future, when we draw near to the Holy Spirit, our lives change for the good. Closeness with the Holy Spirit is the blossoming in us of the graces of our Baptism and especially of our Confirmation. It is then that the Holy Spirit irrevocably seals us with Himself so that we belong completely to Him. Even more, He gives Himself completely to us, to belong to us, to be ours to possess and enjoy. The Holy Spirit who is the Father's and Son's infinitely sweet and mutual Love is now ours, our Beloved and intimate Friend, our Consoler, Healer, and Guide! If we are weighed down with problems and worries, if we long for more love and joy and peace, the Holy Spirit invites us to come close, to let Him do for us what we cannot do ourselves. As the saints experienced in their own weakness, the Holy Spirit is our fierce Protector who loves us tenderly and who fights powerfully for us. We draw near to the Holy Spirit by speaking to Him throughout the day, using the most tender of names, as the Church herself does in her beautiful hymns and prayers to the Holy Spirit. Let us entrust to Him everything that concerns us, asking Him to possess us completely, and to anoint our every breath and every second of our lives. The saints bear witness to how powerfully and tenderly the Holy Spirit dwells within us. May we discover for ourselves the wonders the Holy Spirit accomplishes in those who draw close to Him!

Book Description
You are a royal priest. That Reality Will Change Your Life Human beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy—both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God. But all too often, whether because of our sin or our failures, we imagine that God prefers to keep his distance. In this book, Edward T. Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests. He traces the priestly identity throughout the entire Bible, showing us how holiness leads to closeness to God. Through the blood of Jesus, God extends his invitation for all to draw near with open arms. And in his presence, we discover what it means to be truly human: known, unashamed, and wise, full of meaning, purpose, and abundant life.
