Be inspired by the Catholic saints like never before in My Life with the Saints by James Martin, SJ. This best-selling memoir of spiritual self-discovery is an homage to the Catholic saints who have accompanied Fr. Martin throughout his life. From a lukewarm childhood Catholicism, to the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to the Jesuits, to a media career in Manhattan, Martin has relied on the Catholic saints to intervene in and guide his life. As Martin shares with us his many surprising encounters and journeys with the saints, he convincingly shows how we, too, can be close friends with the saints of the Catholic Church.

Being in love with the Divine is God's gift that is always available to anyone who is looking for it. We have all had a taste of Divine love and our spirits hunger for more. But then other voices muffle the unconditional gift of Divine love--voices that speak of fear, guilt, anxiety, and unworthiness. Falling in love with God begins with an infatuation that penetrates those negative voices, and we respond to this either by being more and more attracted to the Divine or we are repulsed by the experience. We come closer or we fight to get away. In either case our focus is the Divine energy that is drawing us to itself. The Divine seducer never gives up but continues to draw us in many different ways to a deeper union and communion with the Ultimate. But when all is said and done, the falling in love will be up to you. So if you really have the will to experience life as one who is in love with the Divine, it will happen. If you want it, you'll find it. In fact, love will find you.

From the sign of the fish to the Stations of the Cross, from palms to ashes, this book will enable readers to appreciate the symbols of faith all around us.

To some, "It's a miracle!" is nothing more than a common expression. To others, it's nothing less than a personal experience with the Divine.In an age of ever-advancing science, the idea that miracles--real, God-initiated miracles--can and do happen is often cast to the side of the rational road and considered nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of desperate people. But to those individuals who have actually experienced amazing, supernatural occurrences firsthand, miracles are just as real as the air we breathe.In this updated edition of Where Miracles Happen, national best-selling author Joan Wester Anderson--affectionately known to her readers as the "Angel Lady"--offers a collection of 45 stories of miraculous events and angelic encounters. From physical healing to bodily protection to divine guidance and provision, each story is grounded in orthodox Christian beliefs and reinforces the likelihood that the veil between heaven and earth is not as thick as we may think. Joan Wester Anderson is the author of numerous books on angels, including the New York Times bestseller Where Angels Walk. She has been a freelance writer and popular speaker for more than 30 years and is a frequent guest on radio and television talk shows. She and her husband live in Prospect Heights, Illinois.
