Acedia and Me
Kathleen Norris
$25.95
|
Description: From Publishers Weekly:
In this penetrating theological memoir, Norris (The Cloister Walk) details her relationship with acedia, a slothful, soul-weary indifference long recognized by monastics.

Stanley L. Jaki
$10.00
|
Description: On a cursory look, the Bible and exact science appear to be in a radical conflict. But when both the Bible and the sciences are taken for what they are, one can recognize a mutual dependence on both the conceptual and historical levels. It is also shown that efforts to take the Bible for a textbook on the history of the universe have been no less misplaced than are scientific pretensions about its absolute origin.
Science is given full due ... More

Called to Love
Fr. José Granados
