By the Rivers of Babylon - Michael D. O'Brien (Hardcover)
From one of the most compelling and widely read Catholic authors of our generation, Michael O'Brien, 'By the Rivers of Babylon' offers the reader an exacting and intimate glimpse into the mind and heart of Ezekiel - a visionary who served as a child in the Temple before being enslaved during the Babylonian captivity. In this must read and unique account, O'Brien vividly presents the life of the Old Testament prophet who stands amidst the Jewish exiles. This moving epic reimagines the life of him whose mission it would be to rally God's people from certain destruction as they toil to build a town of their own and struggle without the Temple to remain faithful to God - whose faithfulness endures forever. Size: 14.2cm x 21.3cm, 391 pp, hardcover.

A Hiker's Guide to Purgatory: A Novel
New from Ignatius Press! "Norton goes where most authors fear to tread: the journey of a soul through the barren deserts, dark forests and daunting mountain ranges of Purgatory. He’s created an adventure story in the tradition of the medieval quest and a meditation on the many obstacles to holiness that may be encountered and, ultimately overcome, in life." — Fiorella Nash, Author. One morning, attorney Dan Geary, seventy-seven years old, finds himself in the middle of a rolling, polychrome landscape. The greens are bold and bright. Birds sing in the distance. Tall grasses surge like a sea before the wind. He has never seen anything quite like it. But somehow—with the doctors and beeping monitors suddenly gone—he knows exactly where he is: the afterlife. What a relief not to be floating on a cloud, playing a harp. Instead, a hiking pack full of gear sits on his back, and he feels the familiar itch to start walking toward the far-off mountains. But he finds there is no trail, no map, no signage, and no one else in sight. As gorgeous as the scenery is, Dan feels in his bones: this is Purgatory. Growing up, he'd imagined Purgatory as a detention center for delinquent children. What a surprise to see its beauty, and to feel so much hope. Yet along the winding way, Dan starts recognizing his tangled, imperfect, often wasted life, and he wonders if he will ever be ready to meet God. With no clue how long his hike will take, he gradually learns—through memories and through encounters with other Heaven-bound hikers—how to desire the good, how to wait, and how to long for love. With confessional honesty and a sense of humor, this book reimagines the purification of the afterlife as a tough journey saturated with faith, hope, and love—and with overwhelming beauty. Pages: 267. Dimensions: 20.5cm x 13.5cm x 2cm

Catechism of the Catholic Church Revised Second Edition
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is an essential reference for every Catholic and should be readily accessible in every Catholic home. Why? It serves several important functions: (a) It conveys the essential and fundamental content of Catholic faith and morals in a complete and summary way. (b) It is a positive, objective and declarative exposition of Catholic doctrine. (c) It is intended to assist those who have the duty to catechize, namely promoters and teachers of catechesis." Pope St. John Paul II said this about this catechism: "In reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can perceive the wonderful unity of the mystery of God." The Catechism of the Catholic Church is divided into four major parts. They are referred to as the "four pillars" on which the Catechism is built. In his Apostolic Constitution promulgating the Catechism, Pope John Paul II called them the "four movements of a great symphony." They are: 1) the Creed - what the Church believes; 2) the Sacraments - what the Church celebrates; 3) the Commandments - what the Church lives, and; 4) the Our Father - what the Church prays. The Catechism consists of 2,865 paragraphs, each of which is numbered. There is an internal cross-referencing system among the paragraphs which makes it simple to find all the passages in the Catechism which treat a particular subject. In addition, the Catechism provides several indices for ease in locating particular passages. Indices are organized according to themes, Scriptural citations, symbols of the faith, documents of ecumenical councils, documents of other councils and synods, pontifical documents, ecclesiastical documents, canon law, liturgical texts and ecclesiastical authors. The Catechism of the Catholic Church originated with a recommendation made at the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops in 1985. In 1986 Pope John Paul II appointed a Commission of Cardinals and Bishops to develop a compendium of Catholic doctrine. In 1989 the Commission sent the text to all the Bishops of the world for consultation. In 1990 the Commission examined and evaluated over 24,000 amendments suggested by the world's bishops. The final draft is considerably different from the one that was circulated in 1989. In 1991 the Commission prepared the text for the Holy Father's official approval. On June 25, 1992 Pope John Paul II officially approved the definitive version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. On December 8, 1992 Pope John Paul II promulgated the Catechism with an apostolic constitution. Size: 18 x 12 x 3cm

Brass Incense Burner 14cm with hinged lid
Wonderfully accessible brass incense burner for use in the setting of the family home. Lid is hinged and closes neatly. Height: 14cm. The offering of incense to God is a practice which dates back to the time of Moses when God gave commands as to how to burn it; "You shall make an altar to burn incense upon … And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it, and when Aaron sets up the lamps in the evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. You shall offer no unholy incense thereon." (Ex. 30:1, 7-9). The burning of incense as an offering to God will continue even to the end of the world, as revealed by God to St. John; "And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God." (Rev. 8:3- 5)
