This retreat locates the well-known phrase in a faith context, providing practical answers for tapping into the depths of Catholic teaching. It is designed for those in search of a bold new approach to growing in their relationship to God that is, at the same time, steeped in scripture and tradition.

Forgiveness will also be explored as a great grace, which leads one more fully into true freedom and into communion with God.
Under the guidance of these seasoned teachers, you will walk with Christ, to unveil how your desires and hopes, fears and confusion are either enhancing or preventing your life-long journey with Him. Join these two sage voices in conversation today.

A Woman Through and Through
In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand?making it irrelevant?and glorify it on the other?making it everything?it's hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called "woman."
This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ?as a woman?looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ's mission and work.
Quoi de plus séduisant qu’une femme… fidèle au modèle conçu par Dieu? Carolyn Mahaney présente les implications contemporaines du modèle féminin selon la Bible.
L'objectif de l'auteure est double: conseiller sur le rôle d’épouse et de mère, et encourager les plus expérimentées à embrasser le rôle de mentor pour la génération suivante. Un plaidoyer chaleureux qui donne envie d’être une femme selon le cœur de Dieu. Aujourd’hui.
At the end of the short book of Habakkuk, the prophet said that even if all the crops in Israel were to yield no produce and even if all the livestock in Israel died off, he would rejoice and take joy in God (3:17-18). Even if the earth suffered chaos in apocalyptic proportions, Habakkuk would trust God. God had made him strong, so he would move forward, trusting God despite all he saw (3:19).
That is how the book ends. But it is not how it begins. At the start of his book, Habakkuk was reeling. He questioned God. He was upset at God. And he longed to know what God was doing because, in Habakkuk's mind, God wasn't doing anything.
So what happened that took this man from despair to trust? A conversation with God—a conversation recorded in these three brief chapters. In their dialogue, Habakkuk fixates on a problem as he saw it, God gives a promise to Habakkuk and the world, and Habakkuk then praises God for what he heard before concluding with a strong song of faith. The conversation changes Habakkuk. He progressed from worry to worship and from fear to faith.
In (un)Reasonable Trust, author-pastor Nate Holdridge considers the progression Habakkuk passed through. Seeing his process helps us develop a trust in God that is not based on reasons we can see with our own eyes or logic (unreasonable, or without reasons), but a trust that is based on his nature (reasonable, or with reasons). And this level of trust is what God desires. He said, 'The righteous will live by his faith,' and Habakkuk shows us a man who got there (Habakkuk 2:4).
WHY ANOTHER MARRIAGE BOOK? There was need for a book with short, practical chapters with assignments and suggested prayers so that people could read for a little while and grab hold of something that they could apply to their marriage right away. The chapters needed to be short enough that husband and wife could read it together without too much inconvenience, enjoy the time together, and even discuss the content of the chapters. The fact that the lessons are so practical, and, therefore, immediately applicable, is huge. The assignments give direction as to the application. Then the icing on the cake: for the husband and wife to pray out loud what is suggested at the end of each chapter, brings a real sense of honesty before each other, and before the Lord.
