Miracles


Book Description

"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you" (Mt. 7:7). Most people think miracles only happen in movies or the Bible and their prayer lives reflect this belief as well. Father Stefan Starzynski reminds us through his personal experience and real stories that God is ever present, and that miracles are among the gifts offered to those who petition Him in faith. Father Starzynski's life is an account of God's ability to use imperfect human instruments like him -- and you -- to carry out His will. Father Starzynski recounts numerous episodes when he personally experienced miracles, often in totally unexpected places. His riveting stories of tiny infants facing life-threatening medical conditions, of people battling demons and disease, of his own experience overcoming depression, and more, will inspire, instruct, and provide hope for all. Experience the miraculous testimonies from over twenty individuals and families whose lives have been touched by God through Father Starzynski's ministry, as well as helpful appendices on topics like Medjugorje, Saint Therese, and a section of prayers. "Miracles abound in this heartfelt book. Father Stefan Starzynski takes you on a tour of miracles, big and small, and illustrates how to find them in your own life." --Raymond Arroyo, New York Times best-selling author of Mother Angelica and host of EWTN's "The World Over Live" Author royalties from the sales of Miracles: Healing for a Broken World will be donated to the Paul Stefan Home for Expectant Mothers www.paulstefanhome.org.

Acts of Religion


Book Description

Acts of Religion, compiled in close association with Jacques Derrida, brings together for the first time a number of Derrida's writings on religion and questions of faith and their relation to philosophy and political culture. The essays discuss religious texts from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, as well as religious thinkers such as Kant, Levinas, and Gershom Scholem, and comprise pieces spanning Derrida's career. The collection includes two new essays by Derrida that appear here for the first time in any language, as well as a substantial introduction by Gil Anidjar that explores Derrida's return to his own "religious" origins and his attempts to bring to light hidden religious dimensions of the social, cultural, historical, and political.
