First Comes Love: Finding Your Family in the Church and the Trinity
Scott Hahn
Scott Hahn, in First Comes Love, uses the idea of family to explain Catholic thought about the Trinity. Hahn sees the relations among the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as a model for the relations within every family composed of father, mother and children. And he believes that the family of the Church helps people emulate the Trinitarian family and can heal them when they fall short of such holiness.

That We May Perfectly Love Thee
Robert Benson
For Catholics, observance of the Eucharist is the unique celebration of Christ's passion, death and resurrection. In this small gift book, Benson finds meaning in all of the elements that comprise the Catholic Mass, beginning with the entrance to the worship service, continuing through the sermon and the prayers of the people to the liturgical centrepiece: the Eucharist, which Benson calls "the Word made flesh."

The Mass: The Heart of the Mission
John Dutto
According to Dutto, the celebration of Mass on the Lord's Day can really become the best occasion for missionary conversion. Everything in the Eucharist radiates things Catholic. One need only live it out to encounter a spiritual transformation.

The Cross at Ground Zero
Father Benedict Groeschel
When the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre occurred on September 11, 2001, those perennial questions resurfaced. How could God allow such evil in the world? Does He really want His people to suffer? Now, with profound insight and compassion, Fr Groeschel argues God is still very much with us - now more than ever.
