George Cardinal Pell

Holy Is His Name

Theology

“We don't have to learn to be frightened, but as loving children of a loving God, saved through the Cross of Christ, we do need to learn how to fear God. Scott Hahn's Holy Is His Name explains for priests and lay people what it means to be holy, to realize how distant we are from God's holiness, how we must be in awe and wonder at his transcendence and majesty and recognize our worth and our smallness before his all-knowing compassion.”

Memoirs

History & Biography

“The memoirs of Cardinal Mindszenty are enthralling, evidence of a terrible time, to be set with Solzhenitsyn's tales of the Gulag. The Cardinal was a hero for me as a teenager. He still is.”

The Dynamics of Liturgy

Preaching & Worship

“Steeped in the Christian tradition and western learning, particularly German scholarship, Father Twomey is ideally suited to take us to the liturgical writings of Joseph Ratzinger, pope and scholar, the John Henry Newman of our time. Pope Benedict's 'reform of the reform' is stalled, but Twomey's learned analysis shows why it will return.”

The Power of Silence

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“More people in the Western world are isolated, lonely, and restless, not knowing how to conquer their personal demons. This long interview on silence-not self-absorption, not absence-between Nicolas Diat and Cardinal Sarah takes us in the opposite direction to quiet, peace, and God, offering hundreds of quotations from across three thousand years. Carthusian silence is not an option for most of us, but busy people also need to be silent and know God, who is not in the earthquake, the storm, or modern noise. This book is not for the faint-hearted, but it helps explain why Cardinal Sarah is one of the most courageous and prophetic figures on the College of Cardinals.”
