Acting for the Common Good

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As the Catholic Church lives out the call to synodality from Pope Francis, many sectors are calling for a new emphasis on Catholic social teaching and moral witness. In Acting for the Common Good, Michael McGrath provides the intellectual underpinnings for that project, offering a view of the church as social witness and active agent for social justice and the common good in society. This book arrives at just the right moment for Catholics in the U.S. and around the world.”

It’s Not Me, It’s You!

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Karyne Messina’s It’s Not Me, It’s You! uses clear, accessible language to talk about an imposing source of human suffering—projective identification and blame shifting characteristic of narcissistic personalities—that manifests itself in various forms, including bullying, racism, mean-girl behavior, homophobia, workplace relationships, domestic violence, and pathological political leadership. This is an articulate, compassionate, thoughtfully organized book that considerably exceeds the expectations of a self-help genre work, largely because of Messina’s extensive clinical experience as a psychologist and psychoanalyst.”

Pioneering Movements

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Hundreds of thousands of books will be published this year, but only a few have the potential to change the world. This latest book by Steve Addison is one of those few books. Movements of all kinds change our world on a daily basis. Pioneering movements of discipleship are the most powerful movements of all because they change communities of people at the heart level. What Steve has created is a manual to help all of us become the pioneers of these world-changing movements. This book is an essential resource for the missions community.”

The Journey of the Dialectic: Knowing God, Volume 3

Philosophy

“Mansueto's Knowing God diagnoses our contemporary civilizational crisis and lays an intellectual and spiritual path beyond the nihilism, fundamentalism, and culture wars behind that crisis. He reclaims older ways of knowing, not as an exercise in traditionalism and nostalgia, but in order to re-set humanity on a historical journey forward, rooted in God. This provocative book will equally challenge traditionalists, liberals, and post-modernists alike, both intellectually and spiritually.”
