CHRISTIAN LIFE

Title : Meeting Jesus in the sacraments Author : Michael Amodei and Janie Gustafson Publisher : Ave Maria Press, Inc., Copyright : 2010 Call Number : Tr. Ref. 265 Am6m 2010

Description

Meeting Jesus in the Sacraments roots the

sacraments as the definitive way Jesus remains

present to the Church and the world today. It expresses concrete ways for understanding the

sacraments, participating in their rites, and benefiting from their graces. The text is organized around the traditional definition of sacrament from the Catechism of the

Catholic Church. This definition is clarified by arranging the chapters around four dimensions of the sacrament: memorial, celebration, communion, and transformation.

Each of these elements offers students the opportunity for students to further their relationships with Christ and the Church.

Through regular placement of "For Reflection" panels and assignments that focus on

deeper research, developing a personal and communal prayer life, and active transformation of self and society, this text allows students to come to know Jesus

through participation in the sacraments and the grace of their effects. Selections from Catholic blogs and profiles of saints offer a practical application of the sacrament to

teenagers.

Title : Women of the Bible Author : Duquesne, Jacques Publisher : Flammarion Copyright : 2010 Call Number : 220.8 D91w 2010

Description

Servant, queen, mother, prophetess, prostitute, priestess, heroine, exile . . . Jacques Duquesne

demonstrates the crucial roles played by women in the Bible. From The Red Tent to

Marek Halter’s Canaan trilogy, biblical women have inspired numerous contemporary writers—who, in turn, have captivated millions of readers. Duquesne returns to the

original scriptures to evaluate the often controversial roles, responsibilities, and relationships of women in the Old and New Testaments. In doing so, he shows the

significant contribution women made to life in ancient Israel and their importance in spreading the Christian word throughout the Western world. Well-known figures such as

Eve, Esther, and Mary rub shoulders with less familiar characters such as Rahab, Meirav, and Huldah. Each portrait is accompanied by a bible extract and illustrations from

religious art throughout the centuries.

Title : Women’s letters : American from the revolutionary war to the present Editor : Lisa Grunwald and Stephen J. Adler Publisher : The Dial Press Copyright : 2005 Call Number : 973.3 W84 2005

Description

Historical events of the last three centuries come alive through these women’s singular correspondences—

often their only form of public expression. In 1775,

Rachel Revere tries to send financial aid to her husband, Paul, in a note that is confiscated by the

British; First Lady Dolley Madison tells her sister about rescuing George Washington’s portrait during the War of 1812; one week after JFK’s assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy

pens a heartfelt letter to Nikita Khrushchev; and on September 12, 2001, a schoolgirl writes a note of thanks to a New York City firefighter, asking him, ―Were you afraid?‖

The letters gathered here also offer fresh insight into the personal milestones in

women’s lives. Here is a mid-nineteenth-century missionary describing a mastectomy performed without anesthesia; Marilyn Monroe asking her doctor to spare her ovaries in

a handwritten note she taped to her stomach before appendix surgery; an eighteen-year-old telling her mother about her decision to have an abortion the year after Roe v.

Wade; and a woman writing to her parents and in-laws about adopting a Chinese baby.

demand a ―vindication,‖ as the heirs of the supremo would probably be before the

the death penalty were permissible).

―My dad was killed in the 9/11 attacks in New York. I was only two at the time so I don’t really remember him much, although
