This devotional book collects and recounts many of the most inspiring miracle stories attributed to Saint Therese of Lisieux. Burette, an archivist at the Carmel of Lisieux, selects meaningful testimonies from among thousands of reported apparitions, healings, and conversions linked to Therese's intercession since her death.
The narratives range from historical events such as wartime experiences to modern-day personal transformations, including famous cases like Edith Piaf's healing and the conversion of others who invoked the saint. Each story is presented to nurture faith and to illustrate Therese's ongoing spiritual presence and care to answer those who invoke her. The book emphasizes her message of love for Jesus and encourages readers to deepen their own faith through these remarkable accounts. |

| Description: |
Bauerschmidt offers an accessible introduction to Summa theologiae, the foundational theological work of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas' original text is vast and complex, so Bauerschmidt selects key passages and pairs them with clear, expert commentary that explains background, concepts, and arguments in understandable language.
The book guides readers through central themes of Christian theology, such as the nature and existence of God, human happiness and moral virtues, law and grace, Christ's life and work, and the sacraments, by drawing from all three parts of the Summa. It emphasizes moral theology to give a fuller picture of Aquinas' thought and is designed for both classroom use and individual study, helping readers engage with Aquinas' ideas without being overwhelmed by the full original work. |

Anxiety and depression are among the two most common mental health conditions today. Social stigma is still attached to mental health and sufferers can be under pressure to hide their condition.

Drawing on Jesus' own suffering on the cross, the author shows how hope, prayer, forgiveness, closeness to God and an understanding of his plan for our lives can act as powerful lifelines. There is a rich selection of considered, practical tips to aid readers, and a resource section with helpful contacts and recommendations on further reading. |

Tested by Fire is the first book by Monsignor John Boyle and is his personal memoir of the devastating fire of St Patrick?s Cathedral, Parramatta, in 1996. Monsignor Boyle was Dean of the Cathedral at the time.
'When Firefighters arrived at St Patrick's Cathedral, they were presented with an unenviable task - saving the cathedral was not possible. The loss of the cathedral was devastating for them, the St Patrick's parishioners and the whole community. Monsignor Boyle captures these wider impacts as well as his own individual challenges through the immediate aftermath and the collective strength of the St Patrick's community to build a new cathedral.'

| The Pharisees, Jesus, and the Politics of Roman Palestine Vol 1 |

AU$57.95 |
| Description: |
Modern scholarship has often misunderstood the Pharisees and other scribal groups of the late Second Temple period by imposing simplified models of 'early Judaism.' These same models, combined with later ideas about 'early Christianity,' have also distorted how the conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees is interpreted. This book challenges those assumptions by situating the Pharisees firmly within the political history of Judea.
When the early Hasmonean rulers restored the Judean temple-state, the Pharisees emerged as scribes and close advisers to the regime. Their primary concern was the proper governance of the temple-state according to its politeia, the covenantal laws and customs that ordered its political and religious life. In practice, this commitment often placed them in opposition to expansionist high priests such as John Hyrcanus and Alexander Jannaeus, whose rule depended on military conquest and mercenary forces.
Rather than retreating from politics, the Pharisees consolidated their authority under Queen Alexandra Salome, functioning as the temple-state's leading legal and intellectual figures. As Roman control intensified and high priests became increasingly aligned with Roman interests, Pharisaic influence within the temple-state appears to have grown. After the Roman destruction of the Judean temple-state, however, the Pharisees largely disappear from the political history of Roman Palestine. |

| Description: |
Volume 2, Jesus and the Pharisees in the Politics of Roman Palestine, challenges traditional scholarly frameworks that often oversimplify a complex historical reality. It highlights a major conflict that has largely been overlooked: the political, economic, and religious struggle between layers of Roman, Herodian, and high-priestly rulers and the majority of Judean and other Israelite people.
This struggle was intensified by popular and dissident scribal movements, as well as by widespread revolts in 40-37 BCE, 4 BCE, and 66-70 CE, all sparked by repeated conquest and exploitation by ruling powers.
Taking a broader historical approach, the book shows that the Gospel stories are grounded in Israelite popular tradition. The conflict with the Pharisees reflects a deeper divide between the scribal traditions developed by the Pharisees and others, and the village-based traditions of ordinary Israelites. These village communities, where Jesus taught, focused on renewing the Mosaic covenant that had shaped Israelite life for generations. |
