Paperback. Zustand: Good. Christ knew that the splendor of heaven is too great for us to bear just now, and so he used parables as clues to the mystery of paradise.

How to be sure you're among the souls He keeps.The Unmerciful Servant: Not only must you forgive, you must convert the offender. Are you a channel for God's grace?Laborers in the Vineyard: Are you letting selfishness and pride get in the way of the salvation of your neighbor's soul?The Two Sons: The dangers of agnosticism. Are you guilty? You may be astonished at the answer.The Marriage of the King's Son: Why frequent reception of the sacraments is necessary for dwelling at the wedding feast.The Ten Virgins: There's a difference between watching and being prepared for Christ's return.

Will you bear fruit in time?The Great Supper: There's room for all in the heavenly banquet, but not all will find room.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. This book is a ?You Are There? approach to a portion of the Second World War, specifically the decisive years of 1942?1943. While referencing the events which are part of well-recorded history, Fr. Rutler gives a monthly commentary on them, drawn from letters, newspapers, and journals. This information might well have been lost, especially as most of these documents are rare and, having been printed on rationed paper, are deteriorating.      Besides the concern for generally unknown details of people and events, the book presses the theme that ?the Second World War can rightly be understood and probably only fully appreciated as a holy war fought for multiple and mixed motives, but in its deepest meaning as a campaign against evil by defenders, consciously or obliviously, of the good.? While its principle focus is on the way the Catholic Church confronted enemies of humanity, a wide variety of institutions and colorful characters find a place.      Of particular interest, and perhaps something of a revelation, are insights into the personalities who played their parts in this titanic spiritual combat: saints and sinners, the famous as well as those who are forgotten today and who were little known even then. A message to be learned is that human nature never changes, and that the test of character in the struggles of the world?s greatest war is a litmus for how we should and should not behave in the challenges of our own generation. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Cloud of Witnesses, Fr. George Rutler offers a personal account of the many remarkable people he has encountered throughout his life. From Robert Frost, to Mother Teresa to the many lesser known people, Fr. Rutler lets you in on the many graces that he has received through his own friendships. Told with personal vignettes in his signature style, Fr. Rutler offers not only an inside glimpse into his remarkable circle of friends, but also a deeper understanding and appreciation for the richness of the priestly ministry. "While Father George might not know everyone worth knowing, he does introduce us to a bewildering range of characters. We find no malice in these portraits, but he is honest, perhaps a little tougher on his fellow clerics, as he writes loyally of the humanity of his friends. I know a few of the characters brought to life in these sketches and can vouch for their accuracy. I therefore feel confidence in recommending also the larger number of personalities I did not know."  - From the foreword by George Cardinal Pell of Sydney This is an unusual book, written by an author with unusual insights, a wide range of knowledge, and an elegant style.…
