Christ’s Idea of Authority in the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“John Wijngaards is precisely the prophetic voice we need for our time as the Catholic Church wriggles out of its taut imperial chrysalis to fly at last on two wings, male and female, lay and ordained, equal in voice and decision-making, liberated from clericalism and legalism, free to love one another as Christ intended and as he loves us. If you want to know how to make that great transition, read this wonderful booklet and make the wisdom of these reflections your own!”

Gospel Women at the United Nations

Theology

“The Catholic Church is the worlds biggest NGO. Its membership is growing globally but in the West it faces a serious existential crisis entirely of its own making. Yet green shoots are emerging among them: the social justice mission of the women of Unanima who work with and through the United Nations. Where are they taking the church and why? This book shows us another side of the post-conciliar church—an intriguing one, well worth a hearing.”

Life Is a Journey, Not a Race

Christian Living

“I love the storytelling and the journeying described in this book! One is inclined to keep going, since the thrust is good and timely. The tumultuous changes in our life journey indeed need, as Santiago suggests, quieter and more serious reflection than Twitter and radio phone-ins would allow.”

The Gospel of John

Theology

“With wonderful use of music and poetry, Ford reintroduces us to the unequaled excitement of the Jesus John wanted us to know, to love, to follow, to hope in. Just as the evangelist is a passionate and credible guide to the Jesus he was persuaded by, so Ford is a comfortable and yet challenging guide to Jesus in our time. A magnificent commentary on a magnificent Gospel.”

The Sins of Mandatory Celibacy

History & Biography

“Debra Flint raises a very controversial question when she makes a link between mandatory priestly celibacy and the avalanche of historic and contemporary scandals in the Catholic Church involving clerical child sex abuse.”
