Spiritual Freedom

God's Life-Changing Gift

Fr. Dave Pivonka, T.O.R.

Foreword by Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, O.P.

Freedom--what does it mean in our spiritual life? Every day we are free to make hundreds of choices, but something within longs for greater freedom in our hearts, in our response to God. Fr. Dave Pivonka has good news. God wants us to be free and it is God who ultimately frees us. He teaches that true spiritual freedom is gained by getting to know God in quiet prayer and learning to follow where he leads us. 

Spiritual Freedom teaches us what we are set free from and what we are set free for. No matter where you are on your journey of faith, God wants to give you more freedom. "There is always more freedom:  more grace, more forgiveness, more mercy, more God," Fr. Pivonka writes. If you want to dive into that journey of freedom, Spiritual Freedom will be your guide.

Holy Simplicity

The Little Way of Mother Teresa, Dorothy Day & Therese of Lisieux

Joel Schorn

Three women, three very different circumstances, yet they walked a remarkably similiar road to holiness. Mother Teresa, Dorothy Day, and St. Therese of Lisieux all knew how to find God in the simplicity of everyday life. Whether actively working with the poor, or living a hidden life of prayer in the cloister, these women all practiced the "little way". They let God's love flow through them in all the mundane circumstances of life, thus transforming the most ordinary tasks into acts of extraordinary holiness. 

In Holy Simplicity, Joel Schorn weaves together three lives and the spiritual principles that united them. Their stories will inspire you to seek God in the challenges of ordinary life, a little way to holiness that, as Dorothy Day pointed out, unleashes forces "that help to overcome evil in the world".
