“Aqif Shahzad’s LIFE Runner about his pro-life work in Pakistan is an incredible witness to the great miracles God can do when we offer Him the five loaves and two fish of our ordinary lives. Looking with mercy on the Pakistani people, the Lord has inspired Aqif to spread the Gospel message of the sanctity of human life in a myriad of ways -and He has blessed Aqif’s missionary work with abundant fruit, including the saving of many little girls from abortion. I hope and pray that by reading this book people will be inspired to join in the pro-life mission in Pakistan through prayer and financial donations to both the families in need and to printing the books Aqif uses to teach the sanctity of human life. Come Holy Spirit!” – Mary Kloska, author of Raising ‘Children of the Cross,’ The Holiness of Womanhood, Out of the Darkness, A Heart Frozen in the Wilderness, In Our Lady’s Shadow, and Mornings with Mary

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Aqif Shahzad was raised in a family of four brothers and two sisters in a village in Pakistan. He lost his father early, and his mother, whose faith in Our Lady strengthened and deepened his love for Our Lady, played a significant role in his life.

Teaching and translation are his passions. Children of the Cross (Ministry) is the answer to his continued prayers. Giving life, hope, and healing to persecuted Christians in Pakistan and throughout the world is his vision. God has called him to reach the unreached. He lives in Pakistan with his small daughter, Eliana, who is four years old.

Signs of Resurrection by Roger Skrenes

Signs of Resurrection

by Roger Skrenes

This book is written to show that in our world there are many signs of resurrection. Life beyond death is demonstrated or modeled in many ways within the world around us. This fact should teach us to believe that our death is not an end in itself but rather a new beginning of greater and more certain proportions. It should help us to focus our lives on pleasing the Lord and on trying to be a small pair of His Hands in this present world. By living in such light, we can have hope that we will fit into His larger plan – in what we here call Heaven.

No Longer I: Sharing Christ’s Gospel Narrative

No Longer I: Sharing Christ’s Gospel Narrative

by Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.

Christ entered our world and gave himself completely to us to the point of dying for us, to become nourishment for us and a source of hope. In this book, Fr. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R., demonstrates how this single sentence embraces every element of what he calls Christ’s Gospel narrative, namely the central mysteries of the Catholic faith: Christ’s Incarnation, his Passion and Death, his sacrificial meal known as the Eucharist, and his Resurrection and Ascension into heaven.

TESTIMONIALS

“In this book, Fr. Billy walks us through a path of understanding how our Christian journey is a side-by-side walk with Jesus who gave us His all, including his Body. No Longer I helps followers of Christ remain determined in their living the life of faith knowing that we draw our strength from the Lord in whose mission we share. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to become an example of Christ to others in everyday life. – Fr. Jacob Dankasa, author of A Spiritual Plan for Families and Faith, Not Convenience

“This book was exactly what I needed. Father Dennis Billy takes us back to the foundation — Jesus — and reminds us of the simple beauty and profound power of the Gospel. Within this slim volume we find all of the time-tested wisdom we need to build our lives upon the Rock.” – Shane Kapler, author of Marrying the Rosary to the Divine Mercy Chaplet

“In his excellent work No longer I, Fr. Dennis Billy, not only elucidated the meaning of Christ’s Gospel narrative and how to interpret it, but he also and more importantly, pointed out the practical ways of living it: engaging in a regular pattern of prayer, reading and meditating on the Scripture, being frequently present in the sacraments, and being an eagar and willing servant.” – Fr. Paul Ezinando, Jesus Christ: Man of Prayer

“After concisely yet thoroughly defining Christ’s gospel narrative and the ways of interpreting it, Fr. Billy assists us in claiming that narrative as our own by providing suggestions for deepening our relationship with God and how to share our love for Him with others.” – Holly Garman, author of The Holy Heart

TESTIMONIALS

“A dancer took off her makeup and costume and asked, “What more is there to life?” A woman who walked the catwalk answered the same question. Both of them became contemplative nuns. The author of His Divine Presence invites us to ponder ‘Who’ exists when the makeup, the dressing up, the busyness of life, the noise and the activities all cease.” – Francis Etheredge, author of The Prayerful Kiss, The Family on Pilgrimage, and Honest Rust and Gold

”Scholar, author, and poet Rev. Dennis J. Billy (C.Ss.R.), with his new book His Divine Presence, gives us a deeply personal collection of poems that encourages us to focus more clearly on the gifts that God has freely bestowed upon us in this life but not to lose sight of this life’s true goal of sharing eternity with Him. The poem that gives the name to the entire book is particularly noteworthy in that it profoundly shows us the vast extent of God’s blessings that He has given to all of us. There are also poems that are deep and meaningful exhortations to trust in God’s love and goodness along with others that urge us to prepare ourselves gladly for an eternity with Him. These are thus poems that help us to contemplate His Divine Presence with joy, both in the life of this world and in the life to come.” – Charles Rex, author of It Is My Soul That Sings

“Fr. Billy’s poems open part of the contemplative process behind faith. We see the human, priestly mind counselling, reflecting, confessing, advising and doubting in targeted expression. His faith is palpable in this writing that connects the inner self in the world to God and to others. It highlights the sacramental nature of God’s church.” – Larry Hopperton, author of Table for Three and Such Common Stories

“Fr. Dennis Billy’s poetry will guide you to the cloud of unknowing and into silent awe, and your soul will smile and your heart will dance!” – Joe Avalos, author of Cry Oneness

Political Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas

by Dr. Donald G Boland

This book seeks to provide a relatively complete basis for the understanding of political science as presented by Aristotle, with the help of Saint Thomas Aquinas mainly by way of his (partial) commentary on Aristotle’s Politics and his own work “On Kingship”.

There is sufficient in this we believe to give anyone good philosophical grounds for a solid critique of the modern studies, not only in Political Science and related subjects, but also, taken together with our book Economic Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas, in Economic Science. Indeed, such a critique seen in the light of the practical ethical principles brought out in the study of Aristotle and Aquinas may justifiably be such as to rise to the level of a severe condemnation simply from the standpoint of common morality and common sense.

OTHER TITLES BY DONALD G. BOLAND

TESTIMONIALS

“The restoration of Aristotle’s Ethics and Politics as the necessary basis of political science is the principal objective of Political Science and St Thomas Aquinas. With this book Dr Boland has provided an excellent exposition of two works of St Thomas Aquinas: his Commentary on the Politics of Aristotle and his work on Kingship. Dr Boland has very skillfully traced the golden thread provided by St Thomas and contrasted it against the theories underpinning modern political science where authentic metaphysics has given way to an all-embracing mathematical quantification of nature, and human psychology has (in the words of Chesterton) degenerated from the study of anthropos to the study of anthropoids. Political Science and St Thomas Aquinas is a most thought-provoking book. To me it serves admirably at the level of human reason and philosophical reflection the papal motto of St Pius X: “to restore all things in Christ.” – Frank Calneggia, author of Assertions and Refutations: An Assessment of Dr Tracey Rowland’s Natural Law: From Neo-Thomism to Nuptial Mysticism

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Donald G Boland, LL. B., Ph. D., is a founding member of the Centre for Catholic Studies Inc. in Sydney, Australia, and served as its president. He practiced for a number of years as a lawyer having a degree in law from the University of Sydney. Over much the same time, having obtained a doctorate in philosophy from the University of St. Thomas in Rome, he has taught philosophy and law in both Catholic and secular educational institutions, such as the University of Technology, Sydney, the University of Newcastle, the Aquinas Academy, the Centre for Thomistic Studies Inc., now operating under the name of the Centre for Catholic Studies Inc., and various Catholic seminaries, such as those of the Marists and the Vincentians.

His doctoral thesis was on the concepts of utility and value in economics as found in the works of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. He has maintained a constant interest in the relation between moral, social and political philosophy and modern Economic Science. He has written numerous articles on this subject and has now condensed them into this book.
