  Heavens Currency : A Study Of Love

  $18.95

  Heaven’s Currency: A Study of Love is the third book of Dr. Paul Chaloux’s best-selling trilogy on the great mysteries of life (along with Why All People Suffer and Dying without Fear). This eye-opening work explains how the mysteries of love, suffering, and death are synergistic and critically important in leading us to God and Heaven. Dr. Chaloux shows us that the Church’s teachings on the Four Last Things (death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell) and the last day gives us hope and the perspective that God has our best interests at heart and will extend His love and mercy to all those who seek to follow Him in good faith. With suffering as his principal focus, Dr. Chaloux dives deeply into the underlying reasons for painful times and debunks common misconceptions that often result in applying false attributes to God. Moreover, he presents the various ways people experience love in their lives, oftentimes in unexpected ways, and shows how they ultimately lead to salvation. He recounts real-life stories of those who experienced brokenness and found healing and joy through God’s love, even in moments of great distress.

  This study of the mystery of divine love explains the nature of love and how it is manifested in seven relationships known to us since antiquity. It shows how all these ways that we love have their foundation in charity, divine love, and depend on God for the spark that we all see when a friendship turns to love. Heaven’s Currency explains that love is a capability to be grown, not a commodity to be accumulated – and, hence, it increases rather than diminishes with use, and it can be lost forever if we choose not to share it. Jesus used parables, the Beatitudes, and the Commandments, as well as His life, Passion, death, and Resurrection, to teach us how to love divinely with sufficient intensity to share in His eternal life. Through the teachings of St. Paul, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Therese of Lisieux, and other saints, you will discover how divine love (or charity) is the true currency of Heaven. It emanates from God and is indeed the only thing that can be shared by both the living and the dead and that endures even beyond death.

  In Heaven’s Currency, you will discover:

  *How all love in infused into us by God, to be shared as widely as possible

  *How to recognize God’s love in our lives, even in times of distress

  *How sharing God’s love with others is part of God’s plan for us and is the source of our happiness

  *How St. Thomas d

  Dying Without Fear

  $18.95

  Catholic theologian Paul Chaloux’s follow-up to Why All People Suffer focuses on the natural and spiritual concerns encountered in dying and death. Theologically rich yet easy to read, this book is emotionally charged and will speak to the needs of your heart, whether you are facing terminal illness, caring for a dying loved one, or grieving a loss. Dr. Chaloux uses his own experiences in dealing with Parkinson’s disease and the dying and death experiences of his family members going back four generations to help make sense out of and answer the natural and theological questions most people have concerning death and dying.

  The first section of the book lays out the theology of suffering and death. You will learn how they are critical to Providence, God’s great plan for the universe, and why everyone must suffer and die. You will also see how even the most horrific deaths can be used by God to bring about salvation for those who suffer those deaths and for others.

  The second section explores death and dying from the perspective of the dying, giving helpful advice on what to do with your remaining time and energy to maximize building love and growing in your relationship with God and others. Dr. Chaloux skillfully discusses both spiritual preparations and practical decisions, from healthcare choices to final wishes, providing a checklist of seven items that the dying should consider.

  The third section focuses on dying and death from the perspective of a surviving relative. It explains typical causes of death, the five needs of the dying, and the role of caregivers, with particular emphasis on “tough” cases such as dementia, suicide and the loss of a spouse, a parent, a child, or another close relative.

  Significantly, you will find why recalling the attributes of God will help you trust in His love for you.

  You will also discover:

  *A review of the Four Last Things and why they make life meaningful
  *Why suffering is an important part of the dying process and why all people must die
  *The four tasks of suffering that bring you from sin to salvation
  *How to gain the only currency that transcends Heaven and earth
  *How redemptive suffering and death are gifts that can lead to mercy and joy

  Dying without Fear will enlighten your perspective about suffering and death and about the relationship between God and man, so that you will truly be able to approach the final things without fear and to assist your loved ones in attaining peace on
