Often, when we recall Our Lord's Passion, the scenes flash by so quickly that deeper recollection is difficult. This forty-day meditation on the fourteen Stations of the Cross, designed for use in your home, presents them for you and your family in slow motion, inviting you to dwell upon each event along the Way of the Cross for three or four days. Daily Scripture passages, prayers, and insights from the saints will help you pause, ponder, and contemplate each step of the way as you walk with Jesus on the road to Calvary. Drawn from the writings of the Church Fathers and prayers of the saints, these Lenten meditations plumb the depths of meaning of each station to enliven your experience in praying this popular, long-standing devotion, seasonally or throughout the year. Classic illustrations appear throughout to help you behold your Savior and unite your sufferings more intimately with His in each scene. Penetrating yet practical daily questions are included for further reflection or discussion. The meditations in this book are rooted in the treasury of the Church, interspersing traditions and methods that will sanctify your day and help you grow in holiness. Though perfect for private devotion, this book also serves as a tool for walking the whole family through the sacred season, with reflections written in a style that engages both youth and adults. As you proceed through Lent, these meditations will place in your heart a splinter of Christ's Cross. In His footsteps you will learn: The best interior response to rejection The one fruit of the vineyard we are called to gather Two spiritual weapons and two practical tips for overcoming temptation How Veronica's act shows us what we can do to alleviate others' sufferings A time-tested technique to strengthen your resolve to avoid falling into the same sins How Confession can help you "stop the cycle" of sin, bitterness, and greater sin This is a new kind of Stations of the Cross experience, given that the Stations are traditionally prayed all at once, in procession. But like no other, this book will deepen your family's experience of this devotion by exploring in richer detail the mystery of each event on our Lord's road to Calvary.
Who is Santa Claus? And how did he, over Christ, become the Christmas idol? For centuries, the figure of Santa Claus has slowly overtaken the spotlight of the Christmas season, and humanity has begun substituting the celebration of the birth of Christ for the lust of material possessions. What many fail to understand, however, is that Christ is the greatest gift of all. Who Is Santa Claus Biblically? by Roland Ramirez exposes Santa Claus for who he truly is-the Enemy, a wolf hidden in sheep's clothing. In this work, Ramirez discusses how it is not of God when we take our eyes off of Jesus and place them on any other matter during the Christmas season. Satan is strategic in his maneuverings, Ramirez asserts, using three attacks to turn our attention away from Christ's glory: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Removing the Word from our hearts over generations, Satan replaces blessed worship with cursed objects. The Enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Even the most innocent sounding concepts like Santa Claus hold a far more sinful nature than we can imagine, and there is no greater deception than the loss of salvation. This year, put Christ back on the Christmas tree and hang the fruits of His sacrifice as ornaments. Jesus is the only One to receive the glory.

"Walk with Jesus through the special days of Holy Week. From the joy of Palm Sunday to the love and mystery of the Last Supper, from the sorrow of the Garden of Gethsemane, to the triumph of the empty Garden Tomb, young readers are invited to journey with Jesus all the way to Easter, and experience His great love for each one of us."--
"Look with fresh eyes toward the Bible stories you have heard all your life. Contemplate, ponder, and glory at Jesus' final days on earth, his heart-wrenching death, and marvelous resurrection alongside relatable women, chosen by God to play extraordinary roles through Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and beyond! Women Who Followed Jesus honors ordinary women who were integral to declaring Christ as Messiah, serving as early church believers, and announcing Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture. From Lent to Easter to Pentecost and beyond, these forty fresh and thought-provoking Bible-based devotions draw readers closer to the risen Savior while reminding individuals that God has a purpose for each of our lives. The struggles and joys of these women connect with everyday readers on topics such as patience, hope, faith, trust, persistence, sacrifice, grace, and love, addressing women's needs that cross generations and centuries. The story of Jesus unfolds through the voices of Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, Salome, Mary and Martha of Bethany, the Samaritan woman at the well, and others, in forty devotions. This biblical and research-based journey of the miraculous life, death, and resurrection of Jesus encourages readers to worship, grow, and submit to God's plans, offering hope to women no matter what stage of life they're in. The involvement of women in the work of Christ should be as commonly known as the story of his twelve disciples. Women Who Followed Jesus recognizes and honors the ordinary women God chose for his extraordinary purpose. Each of the daily entries offers greater appreciation of these important female voices."--
"'The Dao that can be a road is not the eternal Dao.' The word Dao can be a method to talk about or can be a road to walk on, yet neither meaning can convey the full significance of Dao, the Primal Wisdom."New Daoism analyzes the old Daoist classic Laozi (also called Daodejing) through the prism of the modern anthroposophic teaching of Rudolf Steiner. The author, Kwan-Yuk Claire Sit, has spent more than twenty years diligently studying these two subjects. Such resolute research has enabled her to bring refreshingly new perspectives to both Daoism and Anthroposophy. She cogently explains why Daoism can now be regarded as esoteric Christianity and how the practice of Daoism can lead to the mystical union with the Christ spirit within.Claire Sit provides practical advice on matters such as how to manifest one's wishes. She presents a so-called persist-resist principle--what one persists in wanting will resist appearing--illustrating how calmness and quietude of the mind are conducive to the fulfillment of one's goals. The author's simple and plain language explores deep and subtle aspects of Dao, incorporating numerous anecdotes to illustrate this path of self-realization.Whether a seasoned or new student of Laozi and Anthroposophy, readers will find this book inspiring and informative.
