Book excerpt: "The past three decades have witnessed a decline in the number of Roman Catholic priests in Europe and North America, the result of resignations from the priesthood and of fewer people entering seminaries. A major cause contributing to this situation has been the ambiguity surrounding the role and identity of the priest in light of new theological paradigms. This book attempts to restore clarity to that matter by drawing primarily, although not exclusively, on the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, postconciliar theology and the pronouncements of Pope John Paul II." "The first chapter probes the relationship of the priest to Christ and the church. This is the basic theme of the book, since the manner in which the relationship is perceived colors all aspects of priestly life. The following three chapters examine the three forms of ministry the priest renders to the community: the ministry of the word, of worship and of pastoral care. The book ends with a consideration of the most fundamental role of the priest: a disciple of Jesus. So the book comes full circle, returning to the primary relationship of the priest to Christ and to the church as a community of disciples."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Melchizedek? Embark on an intriguing and interesting journey into the life of a strange and isolated, but unique personage called Melchizedek. He appears momentarily in the Bible on an occasion where he met the great Patriarch Abraham and then disappears from the pages of history just as suddenly as he appeared. He is said to be without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life according to the book of Hebrews. So the big questions that this book explores and attempt to answer about this strange figure are: In what way does his priestly order align with the Lord Jesus; yet differ from the Aaronic (Levitical) order of priesthood? Why should Melchizedek, and he alone of all the Old Testament characters, be thought of in a way that defiles human mortality? This book’s approach to the life of Melchizedek will leave you amused, instructed, enlightened, stirred up, and challenged but definitely not bored!

Book excerpt: We live in a world of spirit and mankind is always either a victim or beneficiary of spiritual dimensions, regardless of his knowledge or ignorance of it. Christians can be slave to ancestral bloodline if they cannot function effectively as priests. As a believer, you are the priest of your life and family. Is your life beggarly, weak and poor? Have you done all the types of prayers and fasting you know how to do without breakthrough? I introduce you to a subject that is as deep as eternity. A subject that reveals the eternal authority and power of God, which is given to man to enact ordinances on earth and live in the liberty he has in Christ. The heaven, even the heavens are the Lord's: but the earth hath He given to the children of men. Psalm115:16 In this book, you will learn about various dimension of power: you will know the mystery of power, purpose of power and how to experience the reality of Jesus in your day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amongst the seventy-two Opuscula, or minor works, of St. Thomas Aquinas there are three which treat of the religious life and calling. The first of these is now offered to the English reader. The two others have a special interest of their own. They were the outcome of the historic controversy on the religious orders, raised, in St. Thomas’s day, by a powerful and influential anti-regular party, of which William of St. Amour was the recognised and indomitable champion and leader. These two Opuscula will appear in English in a subsequent volume. I venture to predict that they will not fail to attract the attention of many readers in the English-speaking world. They are more than old enough to have made history, yet they are singularly appropriate and apposite to-day—more than six hundred years after they were written—when, as in the thirteenth century, the religious orders are again on their trial in several countries in Europe.
