365 Days With the Lord 2009 Category: Books > Devotional > General Author/Artist: ISBN-10: 1-92147-216-2 ISBN-13: 978-1-921472-16-9 Publisher: St Pauls Publications Binding: HARDCOVER Price: AU$24.95 Description: This year’s edition is taken from the writings of Mark G Boyer, a priest of the Diocese of Springfield/Cape Girardeau in Missouri, USA. His reflections on the Gospel passages are “an attempt to join the studying and the praying of the Scriptures into the kind of biblical spirituality which has become the foundation for the Church’s proclamation and preaching of the good news during the 34 weeks of Ordinary Time.” Because his reflections cover only Ordinary Time, additional material was drawn from the writings of Fr Harold A Buetow and from writers of “Sambuhay” and “365 Days with the Lord”.

Cardinal Mahony a Novel Category: Books > Biographies > General Author/Artist: KAISER ROBERT BLAIR ISBN-10: 0-96466-429-1 ISBN-13: 978-0-964664-29-6 Publisher: John Garratt Publishing Binding: PAPERBACK Price: AU$27.95 Description: An American bishop gets kidnapped outside his cabin in the High Sierras one snowy morning in November 2008 by three liberation theologians who look like terrorists. They take him off to southern Mexico in his own helicopter and put him on trial for his sins in front of an international television audience. A jury of his peers, six retired Latin American bishops, find him guilty, and give him a surprising sentence. He falls in love with his kidnappers and leads the American Catholic Church into a radical new way of being, still Catholic, but aggressively accountable to the people, which is to say aggressively American. The fictional bishop in this novel is, obviously, based on Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles in a piece of reality fiction that pushes the envelope. It is set in the reality of the current priest-sex-abuse scandal, and it projects ahead in time to tell the story of a colourful crew and a new Cardinal Mahony working to give Catholics a voice, a vote, and citizenship in their Church.

Doing Anger Differently Helping Adolescent Boys Category: Books > Psychology > General Author/Artist: CURRIE MICHAEL ISBN-10: 0-52285-476-1 ISBN-13: 978-0-522854-76-3 Publisher: Melbourne Uni Press Binding: PAPERBACK Price: AU$34.95 Description: Michael Currie has worked with adolescent boys and their families for 20 years. He understands that the explosive outbursts and sullen monosyllabic exchanges that punctuate adolescence are very confronting for parents, who often feel they can do little about their son's anger. To help parents, carers and teachers understand teenage anger and aggression, Currie has developed the 'Doing Anger Differently' program, presented here in this practical guide. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step principles will help parents reach out to their child, and teach parent and child alike how they can defuse difficult situations together. Case studies based on Currie's many years of experience working with angry boys will show that parents are not alone in having to deal with an angry child, and that they can affect lasting change.
