The parables of Jesus are designed to shake us up, to shock, confront, provoke, and inspire us. Each parable works differently, and each must be studied separately to determine its significance, how it functions, and how it calls its readers to respond.

In this anticipated follow-up to Jesus and the Barbecued Fish Breakfast, Fr. Dan Daly offers another collection of stories from the life and teachings of Jesus.

Reimagined in Fr. Daly’s own words, this story sampler includes many familiar Scripture stories and some that are less well known. Reflections on each story are included, making this book the perfect companion for small-group study or personal, spiritual reading.

There are many Christian holidays throughout the year. What is their origin and their meaning? How are they celebrated in church and at home? This book helps children better understand and participate in the holy feasts of the liturgical year.
For more than 2,000 years, Christians have come together to relive the Lord’s holy meal. They have thanked God and fed on his Word and his Body and Blood in the Eucharist. This book explains the meaning of the Mass and explores these origins, which are anchored in the Old Testament.
Children have many questions about Baptism. What is it? Who can be baptized? What does it mean to become a Christian? Who are these Christians? Who is this Jesus Christ who guides their lives? Intended for those who wish to be baptized, this book helps children discover the meaning of this first sacrament.
Who is the Holy Spirit? How does the Holy Spirit work in the lives of Christians? How do we prepare to receive the Holy Spirit? This beautifully illustrated book puts the Holy Spirit, often misunderstood, in the heart of the Christian faith. It explains how, in the tradition of the Church, the Holy Spirit leads to wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the lord.

A must-read for anyone entering the second half of life, The Light of Evening reminds us that aging offers the unique opportunity to wake up to what really matters and embrace the freedom and grace of living in the light of God’s love.
The second half of life offers many opportunities for growth, discovery and new meanings. Janet Schaeffler, O.P., helps you explore them with wisdom, prayer and a deep sense of appreciation for who you are and who you are still becoming.
