The purpose of this book is to describe simple and concrete ways to live docility to the Holy Spirit.

What do we have to learn from the Holy Spirit? Through Sacred Scripture, the Spirit consoles us against our weaknesses and failures. We are led back to the right path when we are lost. We learn that the Holy Spirit is essential to our Christian life and is needed to progress on the path on which God leads us. The author uses many examples from modern life to illustrate his points.

How can people be open to the Spirit's guidance? How can the Spirit illuminate and strengthen their hearts? By being more attentive to the Spirit's presence in us through Baptism, we learn to follow the inspirations that God places within us.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: "a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way." Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Thérèse believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God's love.

First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Thérèse's writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Thérèse, the journey seemed "little" as she travelled it. A hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has travelled around the world inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscover-or find for the first time the relevance of "the little way," in all seasons of life.

Searching for and Maintaining Peace

* Books are only delivered to Ireland

We live in a day and age characterized by an extraordinary amount of agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbour, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us all too often in our lives? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of heart. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.

Thirsting for Prayer

* Books are only delivered to Ireland

Fr. John Henry Hanson explores in this book the wisdom taught by Josemaría Escrivá and how to practice it in our daily lives.

Born at the turn of the 20th Century, Josemaría Escrivá spent his life as malleable clay in the Potter’s hands. He took on a very visible leadership role as a priest and founder of Opus Dei, with a substantial collection of writings and recorded talks “revealing the personality, tone of voice, mannerisms, and spirit of the man.”

About the Book

In this book, Fr. John Henry Hanson explores this role of leader and coach that our saint lived while on earth and continues to live today. Never one to mince words or refrain from action, Josemaría Escrivá coaches us in work and rest, in times of struggle and ease, through confusion and certainty.

Josemaría is for all of us - men and women of today, living and working in the midst of the world. He is for us all a coach, a father, and an excellent teacher, of the elevated, virtuous, and courageous life.
