Bible Compass : A Catholics Guide To Navigating The Scriptures
$12.99
The Bible is central to our faith as Catholics. But approaching such a large and complex collection of writings that span thousands of years is intimidating for most of us. We need a guide, a compass to set us off on the right course so that our time spent studying the Scriptures is a time spent encountering the living God. The Bible Compass provides readers with the tools to study the Word of God with confidence and purpose. This book demonstrates how to read the Bible within the living Tradition of the Catholic Church, and it addresses all the common questions about the Bible including: *Where did the Bible come from? *Why is the Bible so important? *Is the Bible really inspired by God? *Why do Catholic Bibles have more books than Protestant Bibles? *Do I have to take the Bible literally? *How do I know if I am interpreting the Bible correctly? *Why do we need Tradition and the Magisterium to understand Scripture? *What are the four senses of Scripture? *Why are there different translations of the Bible Which is best? *How can archeology, history and geography enrich our study of Scripture? *What are the Dead Sea Scrolls? *How should we as Catholics interpret Scripture? *What is lectio divina? *What about Gnostic gospels and other non-biblical books? As Catholics we are called to have an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Church as revealed in the Scriptures. Reading the Bible with the proper tools and in the appropriate context will help you grow in your love for the Faith and in your relationship with Jesus Christ himself, who is “the Word made Flesh,” (John 1:1).

Prayers That Avail Much For America

When America was first established, it was founded as a “city on a hill.” Today, our nation falls far short of that aspiration. But there is hope.“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray… then I will hear from heaven… and will heal their land.” – 2 Chron. 7:14 (NIV)
God still has a grand destiny for America. As Christians align their prayers with His vision, we will begin to see this broken country mended. This call is for all believers-not just “intercessors.”
Germaine Copeland, author of the bestselling series Prayers that Avail Much, offers this timely, easy-to use guide to praying for our country.
Christians cannot sit idly by while the nation crumbles. Lift your voice to Heaven, and petition for healing for America!
