Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through in-depth interviews, four prominent Church leaders refl ect on the mission of the Catholic priest in the modern world. They discuss how changes in the Church and the societies in which Catholics live present priests with both challenges and opportunities to be teachers, fathers, physicians, and shepherds in imitation of Jesus Christ. In order to better understand these four images, four priests—Archbishop Charles Chaput, Archbishop Luis Ladaria, Cardinal George Pell, and Msgr. Livio Melina— present their personal insights on the meaning and the future of the priestly vocation. Within the framework of an extended conversation with Father Carlos Granados, they offer vivid, straightforward testimonies of their own experiences while raising and answering the major questions about the priesthood today.

Book excerpt: This book offers in-depth interviews of four prominent priests and Church leaders on the meaning and vocation of the Catholic priesthood today. The changes that our society and the Church are going through in the modern world present an opportunity for a new, broader productivity and impact of the priest. Those interviewed show that today's priest will be able to achieve that impact by focusing on what he is called to be: teacher, father, physician and shepherd. These are four images of the One Priest, who is the true Teacher, Father, Physician and Shepherd: Christ the Lord. In order to better understand these images of the priesthood, four priests - Archbishop Charles Chaput, Fr. Luis Ladaria, Cardinal George Pell, and Fr. Livio Melina - present their personal insights on the meaning and future of the priestly vocation. They present these insights with the authority, the experience, and the gravity of their own priesthood on what makes a priest's life productive and spiritually fruitful. Within the framework of an extended conversation with another priest, Fr. Carlos Granados, they present to us a vivid, straightforward testimony, while raising and answering the major questions about the priesthood.

Book excerpt: New York Times–bestselling author Garry Wills provides a provocative analysis of the theological and historical basis for the priesthood In a riveting and provocative tour de force from the author of What Jesus Meant, Pulitzer Prize winner Garry Wills poses the challenging question: Why did the priesthood develop in a religion that began without it and, indeed, was opposed to it? Why Priests? argues brilliantly and persuasively for a radical re-envisioning of the role of the church as the Body of Christ and for a new and better understanding of the very basis of Christian belief. As Wills emphasizes, the stakes for the writer and the church are high, for without the priesthood there would be no belief in an apostolic succession, the real presence in the Eucharist, the sacrificial interpretation of the Mass, and the ransom theory of redemption. This superb study of the origins of the priesthood stands as Wills’s towering achievement and will be of interest to all inquiring minds, believers and non-believers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preparation of new priests for ministry currently faces closer scrutiny than at any time since the Reformation, and the importance of effective priestly formation has perhaps never been clearer in the entire history of the Church. In Models of Priestly Formation, some of the world’s leading experts on the topic consider priestly formation since Vatican II, explore current best practices internationally, and imagine what the future of such formation might look like. The book promises to become an essential reference for every person involved in priestly formation and for anyone interested in understanding better how it is carried out and how those who do it think about their task. The eBook edition includes four additional essays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudanese immigrant Maria Lore-za won the heart of the Catholic priest, Father Koma Marcianno, claiming him from the church for marriage. Despite their unhappy life, the couple raises two adoring sons and never divorce. This powerful novel considers the circumstances surrounding refugee families granted approval for resettlement in the United States and the problems they face. It is also a skewed love story. Maria Lore-za is a strikingly beautiful young woman who takes nothing for granted. Her desire for men leads her to date Father Koma. She uses all her ploys to seduce and lure him away from God. Koma faces the choice between serving the house of the Lord or marrying. Not long after choosing Maria, he discovers she is also having sex with other men, actions she calls "a gift from God." She believes that before a woman dies she should enjoy free sex. Maria argues that virgins won't be welcomed after death into the kingdom of God and she becomes a crusader for her beliefs. But she also uses her wealth to give back to the community and provides financial support and shelter to families in need. Maria is blessed with her two sons and owes her wealth to a business that sells beauty products. Her business thrives amid the shrinking economy because her customers spend their money on makeup rather than groceries. Dominic Ameri Itto, Ph.D., currently works for the State of Tennessee in the Department of Human Services. Originally from Southern Sudan, he has earned degrees at universities around the world. This is his first book. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/DominicAmeriItto

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the path of Jesus Christ and one man's observations while trying to walk it. It is not for the faint of heart, or of faith. It is written to Christians, primarily about Christians and the Church in general. At times, it is brutally honest. It challenges modern "Christian" teachings with the faith of those Christians who came before us. It speaks with the voice of the ancient Church within the language of psychology and today's pop culture. It shouts for a return to the core principles of what Jesus taught. It cries out that the first person who needs to be discipled is one's own self.
