The Applause of Heaven: Through parables and anecdotes drawn from real life, this book explores the teachings of the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount as they appear in the Gospel of St. Matthew. God’s love for his children is the message of the Bible…and that is the message of this book.

When God Whispers Your Name: Isn’t it incredible to think that God has saved a name just for you? One you don’t even know? We’ve always assumed that the name we got is the name we will keep. Not so. Imagine what that implies. Apparently your future is so promising it warrants a new title. The road ahead is so bright a fresh name is needed. Your eternity is so special no common name will do.

In the Grip of Grace: The letter of St. Paul to the Romans serves as the foundation for this moving meditation on the gift of God’s grace. Grace teaches us to live in a way that is wise and right, free of selfishness and sin. It gives our lives direction and enriches all who receive it. All of life is a gift of God’s grace, and the call of grace is to live a gracious life.
