Since the early centuries, Christians have held up the saints as models of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While the church officially recognizes a relatively small number of saints, the actual roster is infinitely wider.  Blessed Among Us explores this eclectic "cloud of witnesses lay and religious, single and married, canonized and not, and even non-Christians whose faith and wisdom may illuminate our path. Brought to life in the evocative storytelling of Robert Ellsberg, they inspire the moral imagination and give witness to the myriad ways of holiness.

In two stories per day for a full calendar year, Ellsberg sketches figures from biblical times to the present age and from all corners of this world ordinary figures whose extraordinary lives point to the new age in the world to come.

Blessed Among Us is drawn from Ellsberg's acclaimed column of the same name in Give Us This Day, a monthly resource for daily prayer published by Liturgical Press.

Introduction by Rev. Frederick Schroeder

Giant-type edition contains black-and-white illustrations, a colored Rosary and Stations. This book features daily meditations, writings from Saints, Sacred Scripture text, and a meaningful prayer. 192 pages.

The Christian longing to share anguish, fear, gratitude, and awe has found expression in many forms of prayer, beginning in Scripture and the practices and words of Jesus. Over the centuries many fruitful approaches to prayer have taken hold, but often there is a certain unease about what is right or what is best. In this welcome and welcoming book, Fr. James Martin eases these concerns with thoughtful, practical encouragement about prayer in all of its forms. In All Seasons, For All Reasons is drawn from "Teach Us to Pray," Fr. Martin's very popular monthly column in Give Us This Day.

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence Deluxe Edition Pink Cover  

After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior's voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her--and many others around the world.

In these powerful pages are the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart. Words of reassurance, comfort, and hope. Words that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.

Jesus is calling out to you in the same way. Maybe you share the author's need for a great sense of "God with you." Or perhaps Jesus seems distant without you knowing why. Or maybe you have wandered farther from Him that you ever imagined you would. Here is a year's worth of daily readings from Young's journals to bring you closer to Christ and move your time with Him from monologue to a dialogue.

Each day is written as if Jesus Himself were speaking to you. Because He is. Do you hear Him calling?

Jesus Calling:  Dwelling in God's Peace

In  Dwelling in God's Peace,  the seventh study in the  Jesus Calling Bible Study Series, you will explore what the Bible says about the peace that God offers when you trust in Christ and rely on the Holy Spirit's work in your life. This peace, which "surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7), allows you to trust the Lord in any situation and believe He will  always  take care of you. As you experience this peace, you come to recognize the blessings you have been given-and be thankful for them regardless of what you are facing.

Each of the  Jesus Calling  Bible studies includes devotional readings from  Jesus Calling,  selected passages of Scripture for reflection, Bible study questions, and additional questions to help you apply the material. This study can be used for personal reflection and Bible study or in a small-group setting.
