Book Description

"Applied Christianity" contains the conferences of a seven-day silent Ignatian retreat first given in the 1930's by Fr. Onesimus Lacouture, S.J. Castle of Grace is publishing the author's third and final edition. The author of this book, Father John J. Hugo, of Pittsburgh, made the retreat under Father Lacouture in 1938 and then went on to teach it regularly, mostly to the laity. The most famous promoter of the retreats was Dorothy Day, co-founder with Peter Maurin of "The Catholic Worker."Father Hugo said that the retreat offers the "complete panorama of the Christian life, in which the relation of the several parts to one another and to the whole is clearly visible." In 1968 Sister M. Angelica, a member of the Sisters of Charity of the Greensburg, Pennsylvania, diocese, wrote of this retreat and Father Hugo's books: "I will always hold this to be the only that work that gave me the full, consistent, integrated, uncompromising teaching on the spiritual life . . . so rooted in the scriptures and spiritual masters - such a work of wisdom. I defy anyone to do this in any other context or framework of the Christian life. Yet, she asked, "But who can take it in this cozy, comfortable age? Will 'Christians' ever be able to 'drink all this straight?' Maybe not till there is a great cosmic purge sent by God. Maybe not then." "Applied Christianity" is for those who seek such a guide for living the Christian life in all the fullness of God's truth.The companion books to the Lacouture/Hugo retreat are also available from Castle of Grace LLC. "You Are Gods!" contains the full conferences of Part One of "Applied Christianity." Fr. Hugo thought that this part needed to be presented in greater detail. "A Sign of Contradiction" contains a history of the retreat. "Nature and the Supernatural" contains Fr. Hugo's rebuttals of various critics who misunderstood the retreat. Each volume contains a foreword by Fr. Hugo's niece, Rosemary Hugo Fielding.

God and Galileo


Book Description

"A devastating attack upon the dominance of atheism in science today." Giovanni Fazio, Senior Physicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics The debate over the ultimate source of truth in our world often pits science against faith. In fact, some high-profile scientists today would have us abandon God entirely as a source of truth about the universe. In this book, two professional astronomers push back against this notion, arguing that the science of today is not in a position to pronounce on the existence of God—rather, our notion of truth must include both the physical and spiritual domains. Incorporating excerpts from a letter written in 1615 by famed astronomer Galileo Galilei, the authors explore the relationship between science and faith, critiquing atheistic and secular understandings of science while reminding believers that science is an important source of truth about the physical world that God created.




Christianity 101


Book Description

You Mean to Say You Don’t Know the Meaning of * Monophysitism * Hypostatic Union * Infralapsarian * Traducianism * Chiliastic * Pneumatomachian Cheer up! You don’t have to have thousand-dollar vocabulary in order to grasp the priceless basics of Christianity. Christianity 101 bridges the gap between biblical scholarship and people who want to understand the Christian faith. This book presents eight basic doctrines of Christianity--The Bible, God, Christ, Holy Spirit, Human Beings, Redemption, The Church, and The Last Things--in clear, simple language that gives seasoned Christians a fresh understanding of the Bible and its teachings and puts new Christians on familiar terms with Christian doctrine. Gilbert Bilezikian does not shape his analysis of these doctrines in the worn-out, rationalistic categories of older systematic theologies, but in vibrant, dynamic language designed to communicate biblical truths to contemporary believers.
