What is God asking of me? How do I know if this is really of God and not simply my imagination? Should I follow my head or my heart? Discerning God's will is an ongoing process – not a static, one-time decision. Albert Haase, OFM, scholar of Christian spirituality and spiritual mentor to hundreds of people, reminds you that your ordinary life is the megaphone through which God communicates to you and to the world. Fr. Haase is known for offering clear, practical spiritual advice. This book is short, concise, practical, and written with real life examples and reflection questions, making the ancient practice of discernment appealing and understandable. "Albert Haase OFM reminds us that each of us is called to speak an ever deepening yes to God with our lives. The text centers around the most basic questions of the spiritual life: what are we living for, what keeps us from being fully alive? Haase offers a faithful and faith-filled reflection on both the simplicity and the complexity of Christian discernment and discipleship." — Most Reverend Donald Bolen, Bishop of Saskatoon "SAYING YES 'scratches where we itch.' Albert Haase, OFM has provided a blueprint and road map for discovering all the places, all the spaces and all the faces through which God speaks to us. Down-to-earth spirituality at its best!" — Most Reverend Fernand J. Cheri, III, OFM, Auxiliary Bishop of New Orleans

Capture the Moment is a 365-day devotional that will help you do just that. For those who get bogged down in the mundane, distracted by the noise, and lost in the busyness, pastor and author Gregg Matte has written these daily devotions to point us back to what matters most. Begin or end each day with a short snippet of Scripture and a helpful devotional thought so that you can capture each moment, rather than letting it slip away.

When five Gods appear on Earth, they bring with them a reign of destruction that wipes out half the population and most of the Earth’s infrastructure in one single day, and a message for those who remain. Serve your Gods as they demand, or die! From the rubble, a new way of life is born. Strict and harsh in equal measure as the humans are put to work serving their Gods. Money, wealth and greed become things of the past. Five great pyramids are constructed for the Gods, large enough to contain a whole city. One in each of their chosen lands, within the five most populated continents on Earth. Near to each pyramid, another grand building is constructed. Home to the only form of entertainment found on the New Earth, The Colosseums. Centuries since the last gladiators pitted their wits against each other, the blood sport returns in abundance as the Gods train and hone their champions of the arena, then face off against the other Gods in organised wars. Thousands of men and women savagely dying, purely for the entertainment and bragging rights of each God. When a young gladiator named Jacob rises up through the ranks, the humans soon discover he represents their greatest hope of rebelling against the all-powerful Gods. However, when Jacob falls for the charms of the beautiful Goddess Petra, his divided loyalty is called into question in ways he could never have imagined.
