Miracles Do Happen" by Sr. Briege Mckenna
The Hermit, the Prophet, & the Mystic by David Torkington
"Healing the Hidden Self by Barbara Ryan

As a master of the spiritual life, in The Hermit: A Personal Discovery of Prayer, David Torkington shows how, in our restless desire for love, happiness and peace, prayer is the principal way of drawing closer to God who is the source and goal of all our longing. In this initial volume of his trilogy on prayer, Torkington instructs the beginner in the first stages of their prayer life. Through his profound and authoritative message he challenges the reader to reexamine the authenticity of his or her own prayer life in the light of the moving and fascinating story of one man's search for holiness set against the background of the Scottish islands where he seeks out the hermit who agrees to assist him in his quest. In the course of their conversations, the hermit reveals and explains the great traditions of Christian prayer and offers concrete suggestions for overcoming the distractions and difficulties beginners often encounter.

"One of the best books I have ever read on prayer. Easy reading! If you like this book, and you will, make sure you get the next two books of this trilogy on prayer, The Prophet, and the The Mystic." Fr. Shawn

Pope John Paul II referred to the Holy Eucharist as "the greatest treasure of the Church," and yet even many devoted

Catholics have a very limited understanding of this powerful sacrament. This book will change all that. The reader will come away with a completely new awareness that the Eucharist is not just about receiving Communion; it's about transforming your daily life.

Deeply based on the Scriptures, the writings of the Saints and the teachings of our two most recent Popes, this profound and remarkably readable book will introduce you to some of the "hidden" truths of the Eucharist - truths that have always been embraced by theologians', saints and mystics, but have rarely been passed on to the average person in a meaningful way. In The Seven Secrets of the Eucharist, these truths are finally made accessible to all, as author Vinny Flynn shows how each reception of Holy Communion can be a life-changing experience.

No matter how much or how little you already know about the Eucharist, the "secrets" revealed here will bring you to a new, personal "Emmaus" experience, again and again. Perfect for personal devotion, catechesis, study groups, book clubs, and theological studies, The Seven Secrets of the Eucharist will rekindle the "Eucharistic amazement" called for by Pope John Paul II.

In this revised edition of the bestseller Healing the Hidden Self, Barbara Shlemon Ryan deals with eight major stages of human development--Prenatal, Birth, Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, Early Adulthood, and Seasoned Citizens--showing how hurt and damage to the inner self is possible, damage that may not be recognized right away, or that may not manifest itself until a later stage. With insights drawn from forty years in the healing ministry, she offers new examples and explanations of the types of problems that can be encountered during a particular stage of our growth. At the end of each section Ryan includes a specific prayer to help begin the healing process. Healing the Hidden Self emphasizes the importance of inner healing for all who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and with others. It's practical, how-to approach makes it an invaluable book particularly since there are so few priests, ministers, or counselors to help those in the beginning stages of the inner healing process.
