In the first four decades of his life as a Trappist monk, Thomas Keating created a comprehensive, unified psychospiritual pathway leading from healing to holiness and from contemporary psychological wellness to classic mystical sanctity and beatitude. As one of the key innovators of the meditative practice of Centering Prayer, he fashioned a powerful on-ramp to the Christian contemplative tradition. Yet, as beloved author and Keating disciple Cynthia Bourgeault shows, that was not the end of Keating’s story.

Dick Foth can’t stop telling stories. He's been making sense of life through story since he first realized words could become sentences. Now, after eight decades, friends have finally convinced Foth to record the stories he loves to tell in the way he loves to tell them: to a live audience. Stories I Love to Tell became a reality one evening at the Capital Turnaround in Washington, D.C.—a setting for some of Foth’s greatest adventures.

From being raised in a home without the foundation of the gospel to the early days of his marriage and the stress of medical school to his last open-heart surgery in China, President Russell M. Nelson took advantage of every opportunity to learn and become more.

When M. Russell Ballard was set apart as Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January 2018, it was another milestone in a lifetime of service to the Lord. Having set aside a variety of entrepreneurial ventures to serve as president of the Canada Toronto Mission at the age of forty-five, he then accepted a call to serve in the First Quorum of the Seventy two years later, in 1976, and thus never ended up returning to the business world.

Dallin H. Oaks may not have seemed the likeliest choice to become an Apostle. His life path had been anything but conventional. He was only seven when his mother became a widow. His young adulthood saw him joining the National Guard and marrying at nineteen. But all along that path, the Lord was preparing him for the call that would eventually come. This engaging biography by noted historian Richard E. Turley, Jr. takes the listener on a fascinating journey through the life of an extraordinary leader.

Das Leben ist wie eine Bühne ... Außergewöhnlich ist Bernd R. Hocks Leben schon immer: Durch seine verkürzten Arme und verkrümmten Hände fällt er auf. Trotzdem strahlt er eine gehörige Portion Lebensfreude aus. Und sein Humor verschafft ihm zusätzlich Bühnen aller Art …. In seiner Autobiografie erzählt er tiefgründig von seinem Leben. Dabei macht er klar: Wer ist schon perfekt? Wir alle haben unsere Fehler. Aber wir sollten uns nicht hinter aufgesetzten Masken verstecken, sondern echt sein, so wie wir sind, und uns von Gott lieben lassen. Ein Buch, das zum Nachdenken einlädt – und zum Lachen.

He enjoyed watching his favorite dramas and making short films with his cast of cats and dogs. He had many friends and enjoyed spending time with them. Yet Carlo was a little "different" at school, in the pizzerias, and on the soccer field. What set Carlo apart was his constant pursuit of holiness.

إن أشق لون من ألوان الكتابة هو الكتابة عن سيرة النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم ويرجع ذلك إلى أكثر من سبب ولعل أول الأسباب وأخطرها هو جلال الموضوع وعظمته, فقد ترددت كثيرا من أجل هذا وأحجمت فعلا وحقيقة ولكني عدت فأقدمت ضعيفا أشعر بضعفي ولكن أعانني وشجعني وفسح لي في الامل، إنه نبي الرحمة .. كان يرحم الضعيف ويقبل منه جهده مهما قل، ويراه منه كافيا مجزيا وكان محقا كما قال: "رحمة مُهداة".

This audiobook contains the strange, raw, and epiphany-filled stories that led to Read’s dramatic nine-month conversion from atheism to Catholicism. Focusing not only on Read’s life but also on the lives of others who, knowingly or unknowingly, encountered the Virgin, this literary memoir is a testimony of how a Mother patiently brought one child home to her Son—and slowly revealed her own heart.
