Paperback Charis Books

Book Description God has a beautiful design for your marriage. Have you discovered it? Blueprints for building a family seem to abound today. But the countless plans proposed don't all agree, and married couples are often left confused. Where can we turn for a true vision of what it takes to build happy, healthy, holy families? Kimberley Hahn takes us back to the One who designed marriage in the first place. God's wonderful plan for the family is clearly revealed in the time-tested teachings of the Catholic Church. Hahn offers a fresh but deeply rooted perspective on the true meaning of marital love and its implications for a number of significant issues: natural family planning, contraception, infertility, abortion, sterilization, and miscarriage. She draws from Scripture and Church teachings as well as poignant personal experiences from dozens of families who share their stories. Their testimony will help you rediscover the path of prayer, sacrifice, and self-discipline that God intends for married couples--the path of life-giving love. From the Publisher In Life-Giving Love, Kimberly Hahn invites all families to embrace Catholic teaching on life issues. With personal testimony and practical advice, she shows that God's design for union and procreation in marriage far from being a rigid, burdensome law is really a truth that allows us to be all we were created to be. The book opens readers to appreciate the beauty of God's plan for married life.

Paperback Farrar Straus Giroux

Book Description Drawing from his own pastoral experience as a priest and bishop before he became Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla has produced a remarkably eloquent and resourceful defense of Catholic tradition in the sphere of family life and sexual morality. He writes in the conviction that science--biology, psychology, sociology--can provide valuable information on particular aspects of relations between the sexes, but that a full understanding can be obtained only by study of the human person as a whole. Central to his argument is the contrast between the personalistic and the utilitarian views of marriage and of sexual relations. The former views marriage as an interpersonal relationship, in which the well-being and self-realization of each partner are of overriding importance to the other. It is only within this framework that the full purpose of marriage can be realized. The alternative, utilitarian view, according to which a sexual partner is an object for use, holds no possibility of fulfillment and happiness. Wojtyla argues that divorce, artificial methods of birth control, adultery (pre-marital sex), and sexual perversions are all in various ways incompatible with the personalistic view of the sexual self-realization of the human person. Perhaps the most striking feature of the book is that Wojtyla appeals throughout to ordinary, human experience, logically examined. He draws support for his views on the proper gratification of sexual needs, on birth control, and on other matters, from the findings of physiologists and psychologists. His conclusions coincide with the traditional teachings of the Church, which invoke scriptural authority. His approach ensures that non-Christians also can consider his arguments on their own merits. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Paperback Foundation for the Family

From the Publisher As a student you may not be clear yet about what God is calling you to do job-wise. But one thing you know for certain: if you want to do something more challenging than entry level work for the rest of your life, you have to gain knowledge and learn skills. So you study. In a similar way, you may not know yet if God is calling you to the married life, to the priesthood or religious life, or to the life of dedicated singlehood. But one thing you know for certain: if you marry, you want it to be for keeps! So now is the time to start preparing for marriage. Yes, now, even if you are only in your junior or senior year of high school. Marriage Is for Keeps: Student Edition is a guidebook for students who, if they marry, want to live the Sacrament of Matrimony to its fullest. The questions it poses will challenge future spouses to confront the vital issues of marriage before they make mistakes that can threaten their happiness together. The answers it provides illuminate the nature of a truly Catholic marriage and the obstacles placed by our culture and our own flaws to marital fulfillment and Christian discipleship. Originally written for engaged couples, the Student Edition has been modified only slightly for student use. This book is in full agreement with the teachings of the Catholic Church. It is insightful and reflects a common-sense understanding of how marriages are actually lived.

Amazon.com When Michael Novak, theologian and award-winning author, sets out to answer the religious questions of the twentysomething generation, he finds himself with not only a formidable task but a fabulous opportunity. The book is set in a question-and-answer format, a dialogue, actually, between father and daughter--a young woman who is coming to grips with the questions of a generation. She is clearly serious in her challenges--pushing, probing, grilling, trying to understand what propels one into religious faith and why it even matters. Fortunately for her, and for all who have ever questioned facets of their faith, Novak is not only grounded in biblical truth but passionate about it. While some parts are related specifically to Catholicism (as Novak says, there was nothing to be gained in avoiding his particular heritage), he broadens the perspective in such an open and pleasing way that those who will disagree on certain points feel satisfied that their views are nonetheless fairly represented. Tell Me Why book leaves the reader with a sense of having drawn closer to God. It will challenge not only twentysomethings and those who are open to musing about religion, but also those who are fervent in their faith and want to put words to their beliefs. --Ann Weinheimer From Publishers Weekly This book all started with a fax. As the prolific author of numerous titles (The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism; Business as a Moral Calling; etc.), former politician and theologian Michael Novak is no stranger to answering challenges regarding his faith in relation to the world of politics and philosophy. However, when he receives a lengthy fax from his recent college graduate daughter, Jana, this father's skill in communication is put to the test. Jana Novak, a writer and poet, ponders the deep issues of faith in modern society. She relates questions and concerns to her father through candid, sincere requests for evidence in helping determine what part God and religion will play in her life. The book, written in a Q&A format, allows both Novaks to bring forth fresh insights and beg the reader to consider the difficulties of living out one's faith in a cynical, amoral society. Jana poses her faxed questions by focusing first on the foundations of religion in general. Why, she asks, "Does religion matter?" "Why so many different religions?" "What is God like?" Michael Novak's second series of responses stresses the particulars of religious experience. Jana wonders, "Why is our family Catholic?" "Must I take the Bible literally?" Finally, Jana considers the practicalities of faith. "What is Christian sexual love?" "What about abortion?" and "Do I need to be a Mother Theresa?" Interspersed throughout this dialogue between father and daughter are the writings of C.S. Lewis and other Christian writers who address the struggle between faith and doubt. Although Jana's questions about life, faith and God are often difficult to answer in simple statements, Michael Novak does an excellent job of creating a "learning atmosphere" for his daughter by providing her with a solid foundation of biblical principles and Catholic traditions to contemplate.

Hardcover Doubleday

From Publishers Weekly ointing to contemporary attitudes on divorce, homosexuality, children born out of wedlock, fatherlessness and cohabitation as challenges to the stability of traditional marriage, bestselling author and former secretary of education Bennett (The Book of Virtues; The Death of Outrage) argues that people must take steps to restabilize the institution because "(t)he nuclear family, defined as a monogamous married couple living with their children, is vital to civilization's success." Articulate and impassioned as always, Bennett delivers a forceful defense of his position with selective quotations from studies like Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur's Growing Up with a Single Parent and What's Happening to the American Family? by Sar A. Klevitan et al.; prominent politicians like former senator Patrick Moynihan; and literary sources from the Bible to the pro-lesbian children's book Heather Has Two Mommies. Although Bennett refers in passing to being a child of divorce and offers the teachings of his Catholic faith as a template for marital constancy, he shares no personal anecdotes from his own presumably successful marriage. Nor does he quote interviews with other happily married couples or divorce survivors. As a result, the structure of the book resembles that of a legal brief (Bennett counts a law degree from Harvard among his many academic achievements). However, he does not include citations, as he would in a brief, for some of his more arresting pronouncements, such as, "Cohabiting couples show lower levels of sexual satisfaction than do married couples." In a too-brief discussion of remedies to reverse the trends he sees, Bennett proposes repealing no-fault divorce, reaffirming publicly the centrality of family with churches assuming moral leadership, tightening the payment structure for mothers with dependent children and supporting the Defense of Marriage Act. (Sept. 25)Forecast: Bennett's bestselling record and ability to act as a magnet for controversy will no doubt create an early sales spike. Some loyal readers may be disappointed, however, by his evasiveness about his personal experience. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal "The nuclear family is vital to civilization's success," argues the conservative social critic, practicing Catholic, and author of the best sellers The Death of Outrage (1998) and The Book of Virtues (1993). Bennett's new book traces the influence of Judaism, Christianity, and eras marked by large cultural changes (such as the Renaissance and Victorian England) on the development of the Western family. He then identifies and strongly attacks the contemporary social forces that he feels are destroying this institution. Concentrating his criticism on three social trends the wide acceptance of cohabitation, the institution of no-fault divorce, and the increasing acceptance of the idea of same-sex marriage the author argues that they cut into the family's moral foundation. He also indicts our society for its tolerance of the high rates of out-of-wedlock births and the low fertility rates of two-parent families and blames the courts for giving "primacy to the values of personal autonomy and individual liberties" instead of family unity. Most of all, he bemoans a shift in values to the view that how one defines a family is "no business of the wider community." Bennett's forceful assault on political correctness relies on his own deeply held beliefs. For public libraries where he has a following. Jack Forman, San Diego Mesa Coll.

From the Publisher This practical guide provides an alternative to the standard methods of arbitration and litigation used by divorcing couples - and shows how mediation can be used instead. Making use of his professional experience both in law and as a minister who has mediated for more than five hundred couples. Emerick-Cayton provides illustrations on how to survive the pain and anguish of divorcing while maintaining personal integrity and faith. He gives case examples of those who have experienced mediation and shows how mediation reduces costs, hostility, and confusion. Emerick-Cayton says mediated agreements are complied with almost twice as often as court-rendered judgments.
