Drawing from centuries of theological tradition yet enriched by her keen understanding of the human condition and the modern hunger for meaning, Houselander gives flesh and spirit to the Church’s affirmations about Mary and presents her as a figure designed for contemplation and imitation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough essays and poems, divided into four parts, Houselander reflects on the mysteries of Mary’s life―her fiat, the finding of Jesus in the Temple, her assumption―and on themes of emptiness, fruitfulness, and the soul’s longing for union with God.

For hundreds of years, the Church has been indebted to them for their military prowess. But the Order of Malta was, and is, much more than what legend and history celebrate.

It focuses not on the monk-warrior but on the twenty plus members of the order who have been canonized and beatified for their extraordinary lives of love, prayer, and dedication. The book offers the reader a series of brief biographies on some of the most diverse groups of saints to come from one religious order, from peasants to popes and everything in between. In applying historical analysis to the lives of these holy men and women, the author demonstrates that one need not hide behind hagiographic generalities or far-fetched stories to find examples of true virtue in the lives of these Hospitallers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAN Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40669773660271,"sku":"9781505121247","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1193\/7038\/products\/2991x__44408.1626375510.jpg?v=1637547165"},{"product_id":"man-your-post","title":"Man Your Post: learning to Lead Like St Joseph","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a generation plagued by fatherlessness, fear, and indecision, men \u003cem\u003eneed\u003c\/em\u003e a mentor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey need a man who models masculine strength and understands his God-given duty to lay down his life for his family, to provide for their every need, to protect them, to exemplify a life of virtue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSt. Joseph is that man. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMan Your Post: Learning to Lead like St. Joseph\u003c\/em\u003e is a mission entrusted to you by a company of Catholic men who have faced challenges and found strength through the intercession of the head of the Holy Family, the man who provided for Jesus and Mary during their earthly lives and protected them on harrowing journeys as they fled from danger and battled the forces of this world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy embarking on a tour of the Litany of St. Joseph, each chapter explores the power and freedom virtue brings to the lives of ordinary men trying to lead their families to heaven, virtues like justice, chastity, prudence, fortitude, faithfulness and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded are powerful testimonies and reflections from:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea five-time Major League Baseball All-star;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea priest;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea worship leader;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea family physician;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea marriage and family counselor;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean entrepreneur;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand other ministry leaders, husbands, and fathers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Dr. Scott Hahn,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMan Your Post\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an invitation to join your band of brothers as you carry out the mission God has entrusted to you.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnswer the call.
