"God is love!" These words thunder from the lips of preachers of nearly every Christian denomination, but many are questioning the truthfulness of this bold statement in the face of the pain and suffering that people in every part of this world are experiencing. Disasters, rape, murder, abuse of all kinds and diseases of every type and kind, including this century's COVID 19 virus, affect almost every home, Christian and non-Christian. How can a good God sit idly by and allow innocent children and good people to suffer and die? Have Christians been pacifying the masses with lies?Reflections of Agape unmasks the truth behind pain and suffering and unveils the hidden evidence of a loving God amidst the chaos and devastation of God's once perfect creation.

The celebrated author of Theology of the Body Explained andTheology of the Body for Beginners offers compelling insights into Pope Benedict’s profound teaching on human and divine love. The Love That Satisfies is for all - whether married, single, or religious - who are seeking the face of true love in a wounded world. In The Love That Satisfies, Christopher West turns to the wisdom of both Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II in order to shed some light on sexual love (eros) and its relationship with divine love (agape). Why is the love between man and woman so attractive and elusive, demanding and rewarding, restrictive and liberating, painful and ecstatic, messy and beautiful, maddening and fulfilling? Our world is saturated with sex but remains starved for love. Why? Perhaps as Waylon Jennings put it, we’re “Lookin' for love in all the wrong places, lookin' for love in too many faces.” Where, then, is the right place and whose, then, is the right face in which to look for love? By reflecting on key passages from Pope Benedict’s grand encyclical Deus Caritas Est, this book explores these and many other questions with the goal of pointing all who read it towards the love that satisfies. Those who give Pope Benedict’s teaching the attention it deserves will discover that the Catholic Church has a vision of sexual love far more glorious than anything Sigmund Freud, Hugh Hefner, Britney Spears, or Howard Stern could dream of or imagine. You doubt? This book will make you a believer.

Edward and Elizabeth Sri provide an excellent introduction to Pope Benedict's encyclical Deus Caritas Est. They ponder extensively two of the "loves" that the Pope Emeritus discusses, eros and agape - eros, a passionate, self-seeking love; and agape, one that turns to seek the good of the other. These loves are both exemplified most perfectly in God's love for His people - from the passionate love that's expressed in the Song of Songs to the self-emptying love that culminates in His death on the cross. As God exemplifies them, so we are to imitate them - in any friendship, but they are most especially at the heart of the marriage covenant. As the Sris remind us, we too-often think of love solely as the passionate eros; but we must remember that this eros must be - to use Benedict's words - "disciplined and purified if it is to provide not just fleeting pleasure, but a certain foretaste ... of that beatitude for which our whole being yearns."

Nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian religious intellectuals devoted a great deal of attention to the concept of agape, or Divine Love, arguing that the Christian church is a reflection of the triune, self-sacrificing God and his love for all of creation. On account of their deliberations, these intellectuals played a key role in mediating between the Orthodox Church and modern society. Their quest for dialogue between the 'mystery of the sacred' and the 'ordinary of everyday life' remains relevant for Western societies today. In God as Love Johannes Oravecz presents a comprehensive summation of twenty-five prominent Russian religious thinkers and their thought on the concept of agape, showing in detail how they broke new ground in their various affirmations of the truth that God is love. No other book in any language treats this topic with such breadth and depth.

In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God

AGAPE: THE DIVINIZING LOVE is an effort to bring out the centrality of AGAPE in the divinization of humans. The terms agape and divinization are not defined at the outset and their gradual understanding is the intended outcome of the book. The first part - THE TREE OF LIFE, is a depiction of the amazing power of sacraments which are seen as extraordinary aids for all those who choose to draw near to God. How to worship God in spirit and truth? What is the theology behind suffering? These and many more such theological insights gained while quenching divine thirst are presented in the second part - THEOLOGY OF DIVINIZATION. The third part is all about THE STRUGGLE for freedom from sinful slavery. After providing an elaborate outline of the whole divinization process the finale is an approach to perfection based on Trinitarian dynamics. The last part is a stand-alone synchronous meditation of the WAY OF THE CROSS, in a manner that explicitly reveals THE DIVINIZING WAY. PARABOLIC REFLECTIONS is a conducted tour through some of the parables of Jesus. Though not a part of the main book, it is included as an APPENDIX in view of the immense guidance value.

In the midst of hectic and fast paced families, one stable element that can bring grace, love, and joy is the table. Biblically, the table was a place of mercy, unity, and hospitality. Marriage also is a uniting of male and female, to complement and partner, to create a new family, ministry, and community. When the marriage table becomes a central element, sacred and safe spaces are created for individuals, couples, and families to thrive and mature as God intended. Ron and Lori Clark share their experiences as a couple in ministry, working with family violence, and creating safe spaces for their marriage and children to mature and develop healthy self-esteem. This book, with discussion questions, is designed to help couples find partnership, peace, and grow together in relationship and love, whether in ministry or simply seeking to be who God called them to be.
