Remembering George Cardinal Pell

History & Biography

“This series of reflections on the life and impact of George Cardinal Pell from people who knew him highlights his remarkable pastoral skills, dedication to Catholic education, and his incredible rapport with young people and families. The book includes heart-warming stories about Cardinal Pell’s sense of humor, his character as a true father, lover of the family and sacrament of marriage, and his compelling yet winsome manner in standing for all that is good, true and beautiful. Also featured is the drama and intricacies of his appointment by Pope Francis as the very first prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy to improve Vatican financial management, as well as the injustice surrounding the false abuse accusations against the Cardinal and his wrongful imprisonment for more than 400 days. This book is a compelling read on the remarkable life of this towering figure who was misunderstood, maligned and yet was one of the most resolute defenders of the Catholic faith in our time.”

The Eucharist is Really Jesus

Theology

“Author Joe Heschmeyer opens the Scriptures to reveal deep theological and mystical realities anchored in the Eucharist. Heschmeyer describes how the piercing of the side of Christ during His crucifixion is the tearing of the true Temple veil. Through water and blood (Baptism and the Eucharist), we experience directly--not through any intermediary--the true Holy of Holies. The shocking new Christian message isn’t that we can now ‘pray to God directly.’ The shocking new Christian message is that our God wants to dwell in us—in our bodies—as He once dwelt in the Temple in Jerusalem.”

The Song of the Lamb

Preaching & Worship

“True beauty has a remarkable power to pierce hearts and awaken souls. His Eminence shares with readers that artistic excellence and beauty must not be reserved for the secular world, but must shine like a beacon, inviting all into the Church to behold.”
