TESTIMONIALS

“Reading this book has opened a whole new way of life for me. The author’s comparison between divine and human love has made the sacraments, dogma, prayer, and love of neighbor — to name only a few of the topics treated — gift of himself to us. His sacraments are loving embraces. Our loving response to his love transforms us into true Christians. I only wish I had been handed this book when I was preparing for Baptism.” – an anonymous young student of Ronda Chervin’s at Loyola University, 1972

Worshiping the Sacramental Christ

by Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.

The purpose of this book is to alert us to the multidimensional aspects of our Eucharistic worship and to help us see how this sacrament engages the whole person and the entire People of God. It seeks to open our minds and hearts to the sacrament as the worship of the whole Church. It maintains that the human person is a microcosm of the Church and that the various dimensions of our human makeup that we find within ourselves are also present in Christ’s Mystical Body—if we only have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“These cogent meditations on the Eucharist call us to worship both at Mass and in Jesus’ Real Presence. Father Billy invites us to consider how we pray with our body, mind, heart, and spirit, both individually and as part of the Mystical Body of Christ. His compelling reflections and questions lead us to deeper contemplation of the transformative and unitive power of the Eucharist.” – Lynda Rozell, author of Return to Me: Visits to the Tabernacle

by Fr. Eugen J. Pentiuc

A Drawing Book Hermeneutics: Seeing the Scriptures as a Teenager is the digitized version of a manuscript on which Fr. Eugen Pentiuc began to work in 1972, at the age of 16, while a high school student in Suceava (his dearest Bucovina County), Romania. The manuscript, completed in 1973, contained original illustrations in ink on glossy paper featuring Moses’ life (fragmentary), many of the Sunday and feast-days Gospels listed in any Eastern Orthodox lectionary, and John’s Revelation (fragmentary). The illustrations were accompanied by their corresponding biblical passages in Romanian rendition. The current printed version follows the New Revised Standard Version.

Revelationship: Transformative Intimacy with Christ by Cathy Garland and Dr. Randy Colver

Revelationship: Transformative Intimacy with Christ by Cathy Garland and Dr. Randy Colver

Special thanks to Tamara Colver Dixon for designing the cover.

Revelationship: Transformative Intimacy with Christ

by Cathy Garland and Dr. Randy Colver

Revelationship is how God reveals himself as he pursues us for relationship.

In a world deconstructing, Christ reveals himself —the indestructible cornerstone of all that it means to thrive. When we embrace Christ’s revelations of his character and his great passion for intimacy, he personally and uniquely meets our deepest needs, wrestles our deepest questions, and heals our deepest hurt.

This book will open readers to encounters with Christ in many of the ways he reveals himself. Our spiritual lives languish if we limit how God can reveal himself or emphasize one form of revelation over another.

Revelationship will restore intimacy with Christ to the church. We hope that this book will act as a primer of sorts to guide Christians to transformational intimacy with Christ.

Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle $9.99

Testimonials

“This book is a profound challenge to the Body of Christ to wake up to God’s passion for a deeper relationship with us. I particularly loved the chapter “The God Who Wrestles With Us.” You can always tell when someone has wrestled with God because—like Jacob—they walk differently. The personal stories of Randy and Cathy create a desire in the reader to experience a deeper relationship with God in a fresh transforming experience. This is a must-read!” – Frank Seamster, Evangelist, https://seamster.org/

“I’ve known Dr. Randy Colver for over forty years. His life as a husband, a father, a man of God, and a friend is the purest reflection of one who is a mature apprentice (disciple) of Jesus. His daughter Cathy is equally devoted to Christ. They both share an “epignosis” relationship with Jesus. Epignosis simply means an authentic, fully experiential, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. Every page of this book will draw you into a transformative encounter with the Lord. “Revelationship” is a precursor of revival where the Word marries the Spirit.” – Elder Yul Crawford, Atlanta Metropolitan Cathedral

“The concept of this book is absolutely ingenious and so necessary. What a gift this resource will be to the body of Christ!” – Larry Sparks, MDiv., Publisher, Destiny Image, Author, Pentecostal Fire, LarrySparksMinistries.com

“The writers have poured you a glass of hope, for you hold an insightful and valuable book in your hand. Randy and Cathy offer you an open door through which you are welcome to come in and drink deeply of the Lord’s presence. There you will be surprised, enlarged, and instructed by God on what the love and fear of God really means, which is to know him through his word and the revelation of his presence.” – Nita G Berquist, Bible Teacher and Author, Kent, Washington

“Dr. Colver and his daughter, Cathy, take you into a deeper understanding of the nature of God and his pursuit of us. They create a ladder of experiences through each chapter based on their personal encounters with God that will stimulate a greater hunger to know Him and pursue Him. It is truly transformational and the questions, devotional readings, and time of reflection and prayer in the companion devotional guide drive home a deeper, applicable experience in your own journey in Christ. I highly recommend any book whose authors know God and provoke me to grow. This clearly is one of those books.” – Dr. Jay Zinn, Founder and Author, DiscipleshipGroup.com

“Revelationship is more than a book. It is a God-encounter…the Bible verse, “Taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalms 35: 8), becomes alive and tangible. Revelationship is a tool in the hands of Jesus for Christians to know Him and be known by Him. This is an experience I won’t soon forget, leaving me longing for the next chapter and more of Him.” – Sharon Mullins, Pastor of Coweta Community Church, cccnewnan.org

“A powerful message that speaks to every Christian of how the transformative activity of God in our lives draws us ever closer to him.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Founder and President, WCAT Radio

“If you are pursuing to create or deepen a personal relationship with God, then read this book. Why? The authors cite example after example of biblical passages which specifically highlight why God desires to reveal Himself on a personal and intimate level. Each chapter is filled with not only insights from Scripture, but also personal experiences from their own lives of how revelationship transformed and deepened their understanding of God’s love and goodness. So, if you’re looking for practical and thoughtful insights having a revelationship with God, then you will not be disappointed.” – Dr. Alan Cureton, Former President of Northeastern University – St. Paul

Joseph of Nazareth: Icon of the Father’s Love

by Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.

This book is about a humble, courageous man named Joseph who played a pivotal role in the story of our redemption and about whom the Gospels say so very little. It is a series of meditations about this obscure member of the house of David who listened to God in the quiet of his heart and the silence of his dreams, a man who followed God’s will even though according to the Law he had every right to do otherwise. Through these pages, the author hopes to help readers see Joseph as a living icon of the Father’s love.

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99
