Because of these four qualities, marriage fully respects the equal dignity of husband and wife as persons, and it also recognizes and values the complementarity of their sexuality. Likewise, marriage honors the truth that each new human life brought about by the marital union is a person equal in dignity to his mother and father. Thus, May probes the social significance of this complementary of men and women, as well as the reasons why human beings are to be begotten only ion an act of spousal love, not made by new "reproductive techniques."

     This profound and readable work is rooted in the misunderstanding of marriage proclaimed by the Catholic Church, particularly by Pope John Paul II, the greatest champion of marriage and family in the world today. May devotes particular attention to John Paul II's vision of the family in his eloquent and heart-filled "Letter to Families."

Is It Really Possible To Live "Happily Ever After"?

Yes! Couples can have a marvelous marriage from the day they take their vows until death do them part.

So what's the secret to an amazing marriage?

Drawing from the years of clinical practice, as well as his own practical experiences as a husband and father, Gregory Popcak explores the characteristics that create strong relationships and help couples determine both their strength and weaknesses. He offers down-to-earth ideas and suggestions for keeping marriages alive and vital long after the wedding ceremony. By showing how all marriages must move along "The Relationship Pathway," from less fulfilling to exceptional, Popcak convincingly demonstrates that every married couple has the potential to avoid divorce and live happily ever after!

     Blueprints for building a family seem to abound today. But the countless plans don't all agree, and married couples are often left confused. Where can we turn for a true vision of what it takes to build happy, healthy, holy families?
     Kimberly Hahn takes us back to the One who designed marriage in the first place. God's wonderful plan for the family is clearly revealed in the time-tested teachings of the Catholic Church.
     Hahn offers a fresh but deeply rooted perspective on the true meaning of marital love and its implications for a number of significant issues: natural family planning, contraception, infertility, abortion, sterilization, and miscarriage. She draws from Scripture and Church teachings as well as poignant personal experiences from dozens of families who share their stories. Their testimony will help you rediscover the path of prayer, sacrifice, and self-discipline that God intends for married couples - the path of life-giving love.
     Everyone wants to have a marriage made in heaven. The good news is God wants this for you, too. Kimberly Hahn has done a magnificent job of teaching us what "true love" is and how in practical terms we can experience it and pass it on in the context of family.

     This book tells of the history, purpose and goals of the Rescue Movement through the deeply moving story of Joan Andrews and her total commitment to save unborn children from the horrible death of abortion. Recently released from a federal prison after 2-1/2 years of solitary confinement, Joan Andrews reveals what led her to unite herself with the innocent and unprotected children sentenced to death in their mother's wombs.
     This is the story of a woman who wasn't content to assent to the principle of the sanctity and dignity of every human life from conception. She had to live it, and more than live it, make it her whole life. Like the Master she follows, she has won her victories by suffering from her passion for the unborn. She has heroically responded to the Scriptural mandate, "Rescue those unjustly sentenced to death."
     Along with vivid insights into the prayer, thought and work of Joan Andrews, this book also provides articulate and powerful explanations of why Joan, and thousands of others, do rescues, plus numerous examples of what happens in rescues-at the abortion mills, in court, in jail. The completely non-violent and thoroughly prayerful nature of Joan and the Rescue Movement is clearly portrayed. Illustrated.
     "Brilliant! Joan's book is a vivid, exciting, absorbing account of her bold actions to rescue babies at abortuaries. Joan is the heart and soul of the Rescue Movement. This book is must reading."Joe Scheidler Director, Pro-Life Action League

     In 1968, Mary Ann and John Kuharski had their first child, Chrissy. At that time, they had no idea that twelve other children would follow and six of them would be adopted and of mixed races with "special needs."

     Thirteen children present quite a challenge - not only physically and financially, but spiritually and mentally as well. Today the Kuharski children range from ages two to twenty-two. Mary Ann is a proud, full-time mother who in her spare time found enough energy to keep a record of her family's most precious and memorable moments. Inside this enthusiastic work you'll learn how she confronts the challenges of motherhood. Her practical, caring advice varies from nursing, to coping with sibling rivalry, to helping children develop positive work attitudes.

     Mary Ann Kuharski not only identifies the parental role as a vocational "Call By God," but proves that parenting a large family, even when mixing adopted children, color, race, and special needs, can be done with Christ's love.

     Raising Catholic Children is the ideal book for expecting parents or for those who need a little inspirational boost. It. is insightful, encouraging, and filled with the love of God.
 

     Our society has shifted from a Christian world view, and the pagan message is being packaged to appear "Christian" in many books and films. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. It also deals with the question of the proper place of fantasy for Christians. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list for grades one through eight.

     "A Landscape with Dragons is one of the best books I have read in a long time - clear, beautiful articulation of an important message." Dr. Ruth Beechick
