Counting on Faith is a scriptural counting book for children. Children will learn to count while learning their Catholic Faith because each number represents an important tenet found in Scripture. Counting on Faith is edifying for—and written to be enjoyed by—the entire family.
“Kids love numbers. This love can lead them to the true love – love of God. Counting on Faith is a beautiful number walk for little ones toward God.” —Dr. Ray Guarendi

8 Days & Virtue, by Andrew McNabb
$
15.00
On September 18, 2014, Divine Providence Press released, under one cover, both 8 Days and Virtue, Andrew McNabb’s book-length prose poem, or “mystical prayer.” These two works are inextricably linked; as McNabb details in 8 Days, it was at the very moment he typed the period that would end Virtue that his odyssey emphatically began.
In 8 Days, he recounts the ecstatic mystical religious experiences that took place in his life over an eight day period in 2011. With literary attention, this career short-story writer, husband, and father of four details how he was swept up into a place “not quite here” and “not quite there,” a place in which he experienced both the ethereal and the terrifying, the awe-inspiring and the confounding.
Virtue is a paean, a poetic and prayerful work that seeks, also, to be instructive by way of a logical progression which culminates, ultimately, at that highest point on the spiritual mountain: union with Him in true love.
Suggested Retail Price: $18.00

DIVINE PROVIDENCE PRESS SPIRITUAL CLASSICS
Anna Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) was a mystic and stigmatic whose visions became the source of THE DOLOROUS PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Anne Catherine's visions clearly fall in the category of private revelation. Although Sacred Scripture is infallible, private revelation is fallible. Although God cannot err in anything He does, errors can be introduced into private revelation by a misunderstanding on the part of the person who receives the revelation, or by an error made by the person who writes down or transmits the revelation. Sacred Scripture is immune from these types of error; private revelation is not. Anne Catherine's visions come from God, but they are fallible because they come to us through fallible human persons. However, her visions are neither mere human meditations nor pious fiction. Her account of events in the lives of Jesus and Mary were revealed to her by God. ORDER HERE.

This work by Aquinas begins by discussing different types of political systems, using the classical classifications. Only rule which is directed "towards the common good of the multitude is fit to be called kingship," he argues. Rule by one man who "seeks his own benefit from his rule and not the good of the multitude subject to him" is called a "tyrant." He argues that "Just as the government of a king is the best, so the government of a tyrant is the worst," maintaining that rule by a single individual is the most efficient for accomplishing either good or evil purposes. He then proceeds to discuss "how provision might be made that the king may not fall into tyranny," stressing education and noting that "government of the kingdom must be so arranged that opportunity to tyrannize is removed." He then proceeds to consider what honor is due to kings, to discuss the appropriate qualities of a king, and to make some points on founding and maintaining a city. |
