Annunciation A Call to Faith in a Broken World Sally Read Sensing the precarious nature of faith in an overwhelmingly secular world, Read, through meditation and anecdote, began writing down the compelling reasons for holding onto both God and Church. Taking the Annunciation as her template (that most fundamental yes to God), she explores common experiences of the spiritual life: His presence and invitation (And he came to her); the fears we have to let go of (Do not be afraid); the realization of our identity in God (Behold, I a the handmaid of the Lord) and what our vocation might be (Let it be to me according to your word); and when God feels verydistant from us (And the angel departed from her). 978 1 62164 302 9 150 pages £12.99 |

Mercy What Every Catholic Should Know Fr Daniel Moloney Fr. Moloney invites the reader to wrestle with the supposed contradiction of God saying that he is merciful, yet killing and punishing his creation. Moloney ultimately resolves this apparent contradiction by highlighting God's identity as the loving Father, explaining how, similar to good earthly fathers, sometimes the most loving route to take in truly loving your children and bringing them to their ultimate good is through the course of tough love.
