"I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament." — J.R.R. Tolkien Eucharistic adoration according to Fr. Frederick Faber is “the queen of all devotions.” Pope St. Pius X taught that it was the devotion “most profitable for our salvation.” And St. Gemma Galgani treasured it as “the school of Paradise where one learns how to love.” So many popes and saints exhort us to spend time with our Eucharistic Lord. And the Manual for Eucharistic Adoration will enrich your hours with Him. <section>Part One: Preparing for Eucharistic AdorationAnswers these questions:<ul><li>What is Eucharistic adoration, and why is it so important</li><li>What does Scripture teach about this devotion</li><li>What are the fruit of Eucharistic adoration</li><li>How should I spend my time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament</li></ul></section><section>Part Two: Aids in Eucharistic AdorationProvides these essential resources:<ul><li>Teaching about the Eucharist from Scripture and Church documents</li><li>Scripture verses for adoration, wisdom and inspiration from saints especially devoted to our Eucharistic Lord</li><li>Prayers, Rosary meditations, reflections and hymns</li></ul></section>Mother Teresa once said: “The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth.” Take this great saint’s words to heart.

Between 1594 and 1598, a preacher named Francois de Sales converted 72,000 Protestants to the Catholic Faith. These are his words.One of the most remarkable and well-documented events in Catholic history began when a young priest, St. Francis de Sales, volunteered to re-evangelize the Calvinists of the Chamblais.Finding his preaching forcefully rejected, St. Francis de Sales shrewdly switched tactics and began a written apologetics campaign, posting pamphlets on walls and slipping them beneath doors under the cover of night.His defense of the Faith was so clear and thorough that at the end of four years nearly the entire population of 72,000 had returned to the Catholic Faith!These powerful little tracts are as relevant today as they were in the late 1500s. St. Francis de Sales draws support from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and Doctors of the Church to address questions still frequently posed by modern Protestants. Revered as some of the most cogent arguments against Protestantism ever penned, they present a defense of the Catholic Faith that has never been equaled.Now with beautiful new cover, easier to read size, updated typesetting, and the original content! 320 ppPraise for The Catholic Controversy:"St. Francis de Sales was one of the most effective Catholic apologists and evangelists of the past five centuries. Undoubtedly, he is the most effective apologist to Protestant Calvinists who has ever lived."Steve Wood (Family Life Center International)

“You aim at true devotion, my dear Philothea, because, as a Christian, you know how acceptable it is to the Divine Majesty. But inasmuch as trifling errors at the outset of any undertaking are wont to increase rapidly as we advance, frequently becoming almost irreparable, it is needful that, first of all, you should ascertain wherein lies the virtue of devotion.”—St. Francis de SalesEveryone wants to go to Heaven, but how many of us actually know how to get there?&#160;Learn from the writings of St. Francis de Sales, the Doctor of Charity, on this very matter in his work that specifically addresses this most important question. The knowledgeable and holy Doctor of the Church writes in a way that is at once easy to read and suited to all readers, yet thorough, authoritative, reliable, kind, and gentle. He guides us to the knowledge that we are all called to the devout life. True devotion to God, as St. Francis de Sales points out, adorns every vocation. Additionally, St. Francis will explain that the devout life is a choice worthy for its own sake: “And our blessed Lord Himself assure[s] us that a devout life is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life.”Addressed as a personal letter to Philothea (which means “lover of God”) this book covers all the parts of a devout life:<ul><li>Our desire to lead a devout life&#160;</li><li>Our full resolution to do so</li><li>How we should approach God in prayer and the Sacraments</li><li>The practice of 16 important virtues</li><li>Remedies against ordinary temptations</li><li>And confirmation in our practice of devotion</li></ul>With this beautiful copy of the Introduction to the Devout Life from TAN Books's Catholic Classics Series, you will be prepared for any struggle in your life. From minor everyday worries to the larger concerns of your vocation and your Christian duties, St. Francis de Sales’s perennial work will be your guide to sainthood.&#160;

Is it really possible for a man to change his sexual orientation from "gay" to "straight"? Arent "gay" men ;born this way;? With the increasing normalization of homosexuality in our society and even in the Church, is there hope for men who struggle with unwanted homosexual feelings and desires? When the Son Frees You offers a unique perspective on these questions through the eyes of a faithful Catholic who was almost exclusively sexually attracted to men since his teenage years. The suffering, pain, and shame of his homosexuality all but consumed A. J. Benjamin . . . until he had a life-changing encounter with the Mother of Jesus.Through her intercession and following the teachings and practice of the Catholic Church, the wisdom of the saints, and the Theology of the Body of Saint John Paul II, A. J. embarked on a soul-searching journey to freedom and wholeness. Through Gods grace in the sacraments, A. J. found the perfect Man in Jesus Christ and, through the power of His cross, experienced true healing of his disordered desires. A. J. is now happily married with three children and seeks to spread the Gospel message of hope and freedom to all who struggle with their sexuality. This is his journey.

"It is the Lord." —cf. John 21:7Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is not only the greatest devotion for individual members of the Church, it is also the supreme action of the Church—for the Sacrament of the Eucharistic liturgy is the Sacrifice of God Himself. What the Lord offers us daily in this Most Blessed Sacrament is unspeakably glorious, salutary, and magnificent; it is, as the Second Vatican Council's document Sacrosanctum Concilium says, the "source" and "summit" of the Christian life. Therefore, veneration of the Most Precious Body and Blood of Our Lord is not only extremely beneficial to us; it also very likely may turn out the means of our salvation.In Moments Divine, find powerful, piercing meditations, devotions, and stories related to the Blessed Sacrament and Its adoration. Suitable for private devotion and Holy Hours made with Our Lord, each of the 30 chapters here contains:True StoriesVarious PrayersAn Act of ContritionA Sacred Heart ReadingA Spiritual CommunionAnd so much more...As Archbishop Fulton Sheen would say, if Faith is alive, no other justification to adore the Blessed Sacrament is needed than that it is the Lord Himself present with us. Nothing can compare to spending time with God; for, if and when we get to Heaven, we will already know Him as intimately there as in our moments divine here on earth.
