FOLLOW YOUR DREAM
What guides a tiny acorn as it grows, slowly and surely, into a majestic oak? Peter Hannah SJ talks of ‘the dream in the acorn’ a dream which guides this wonderful transformation. Each one of us, too, has a built in dream, a plan of God for our happiness that we may have life and have it in abundance. The difference between us and the acorn, however, is that we must take responsibility for the fulfilment of our dream. This involves befriending all those areas of our life from which we have become estranged.
This book is about precisely that process. It offers a set of thirty exercises through which you can work at befriending, or restoring an intimacy which you may have lost, with your inmost self, with God, with others, and with the whole of creation.

Cost Rs. 310
NINE PORTRAITS
THIS BOOK seeks to help you answer that central question which Jesus asks each person: ‘And what about you, who do you, say that I am?’
It is a question you are constantly being asked throughout your life and only you can answer it. Your answer will be an expression, not only of what you think of and feel about Jesus, but of what you think of and feel about yourself. Therefore, the answer you give to Jesus’ question will be crucial.
This book seeks an answer to Jesus’ question mainly from the gospels, but also from our own experiences of the people who have given us a good impression of who Jesus is and of the different aspects of his personality.
It also makes extensive use of the Divine ideas of the Enneagram. These help us to clarify and define the features of nine kinds of people we have met in our personal experience. Thus we use the gospels, our own experience of people, and the Enneagram to become aware of, to clarify and then to paint nine portraits of Jesus.

Cost Rs. 280
THE QUIET REVOLUTION
This book is about a momentous choice which faces each of us today, between what is kife giving and what is destructive. This choice is between two cultures, each of which is bidding for our allegiance and each of which proposes its own distinctive value system and lifestyle. One culture centres on the outer world of material things, on what we have and what we do. The priority of the alternative culture is to give to our relationship with God, with our inner self, with others and with creation, the time, energy and resources they deserve. To choose this culture will involve us in a revolutionary change of mind and heart. The nature of this quiet revolution, and what it means to play our part in it, is the subject matter of this book.

HOW TO BE ECUMENICAL TODAY

Cost Rs. 180

HOW TO BE ECUMENICAL TODAY
AS THE THIRD MILLENNIUM APPROACHES, there is a renewed interest in ecumenism. It is, however, not the same as the interest that was so high in the late Sixties and Seventies. Then the main focus was church unity and the new progress the churches were making as a result of ecumenical dialogues. Now the focus is more on common witness to Christ as we celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of his birth. That means that cooperative ecumenism is to the fore.
We therefore offer this book on cooperative ecumenism. Our intention is to offer practical help to Christians already engaged in cooperative ecumenism. How do we cooperate with Christians in other churches when we are trying to advance the cause of Christ?

THE BREAD OF GOD

Cost Rs. 200

THE BREAD OF GOD
This book celebrates the life-giving Eucharist-the imaginative means by which our thinking and our lives are transformed in Jesus Christ. Even as the Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s real presence in the midst of the Church, it is also the gift that nourishes our bodies and souls with the food and drink of eternal life. It is the sustaining inspiration by which we grasp the mysteries of faith as they gain momentum, direction, and shape in our lives.
A celebration of the centrality of the Eucharist in a life of faith, The Bread of God examines the way of thinking that links us to the mind of Christ, the mind of the Church, and to each of us in the body of Christ. Early chapters of the book plumb the meaning of the Eucharist as found in the Scriptures and lead us full circle to find the true meaning of the Scriptures in the Eucharist. Further chapters discuss more deeply the characteristics of the Eucharist: sacrifice, communion, judgement, praise, and love. Father Kelly concludes the book with a poetic meditation on the power of the Eucharist to make us truly present to the life of the world and to live that presence as generously as we can.
If you are looking to celebrate a truly living Eucharist – one that deepens and broadens your experience of the paschal feast – The Bread of God is a beacon for the possibilities of our Christian faith.
