"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 illuminate our path. ... Two stories per day for a full calendar year"--Jacket.
Since it was first published in 1967, Anthony Wilhelm’s Christ Among Us has become America’s most popular guide to modern Catholicism. This classic text presents a clear and accessible picture of Catholicism and its development in a post-Vatican II world. Perfect for both new Catholics and those returning to the faith, Christ Among Us provides a thorough, up-to-date discussion of Catholic theology, traditions, and practices and examines Church teachings since the time of Vatican II. Including excerpts from the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, discussion questions, and suggestions for personal reflection, Christ Among Us is the ideal handbook for anyone interested in the practice of Catholicism today. Anthony Wilhelm, a religious educator, has taught theology and directed religious education programs for adults across America. “The nation’s most widely used introduction to Catholicism.” - New York Times

Author Christine Marketos-Cuomo is a 30 year career employee of the federal government. She retired in 2008 from the Bureau of Alchohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Tampa, Florida. She was producer/director of her own public access television program called "Follow The Sun" for Cox Communications, Pawtucket, Rhode Island and Access Pinellas in Clearwater, Florida where she transferred to in 2001. Christine is the mother of three children, Rosemaria, Peter and George. She is also a very proud grandmother of Alexa, George Jr., and Evangelia (her son George's three children). She has two daughter-in-laws Taryn and Amy and a son-in-law Thomas that she is also very proud of. Christine earned an Associate in Science Degree in Paralegal Studies in 1995, and then went on to earn a second Associate in Science Degree in Criminal Justice in 2001 from Fisher College in Boston, Massachusetts. She pursued her goal to obtain these degrees in order to set an example for her children. Today, all of her children are successful professionals in their career choices and they all graduated with honors from Universities in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Florida. Christine decided to write this book at the time her Uncle, Archbishop Dionysios was alive. It began with a thought that a cook-book of the monk's diet would benefit today's health conscious society. The Archbishop provided the recipes that were prepared in the Monastery of Iviron, Greece where he began his monastic life. Prior to finalizing the book, the Archbishop reposed on December 28, 2005. The book was put on hold and Christine decided to write a book about the Archbishop's life to include the cook-book. Enjoy the book and I promise that you will be inspired by it's contents.
Saint among Savages tells the remarkable story of St. Isaac Jogues, a French Jesuit who was killed by Mohawks while serving as a missionary in New France. Coming from a upper middle class life in Orleans, he knew from an early age that he wanted to be a priest and serve abroad as a missionary to risk his life in order to save souls. Along with several others, collectively known as the North American Martyrs, he followed his dreams and met death in the American wilderness. Living with the Huron people in what is now Ontario, he was captured by Mohawk warriors and tortured and held captive for over a year. He escaped back to France with help from the Dutch in New York, and remarkably insisted on going back to New France, even though he knew what he might be facing. Besides Jogues' life there is also a lot of material about the lives and customs of the Native American peoples who lived along the St. Lawrence River.

Once we have encountered the Lord Jesus, how do we keep growing in Christ? How do we let the Lord mold us and make us into missionary disciples capable of spreading the gospel? Instead of just trying to get into heaven, how do we live the life of heaven now so that we can become saints? In this book, Michigan pastor Fr. John Riccardo helps us dive into the Scriptures so that we can apply them to our daily lives. In his inspiring and incisive way, Fr. Riccardo addresses the obstacles we all face in becoming mature disciples. How do we learn to forgive? How do we combat fear and understand suffering? How do we worship the Lord, love others as Christ loves us, and fully surrender our lives to God? If you’ve enjoyed Fr. Riccardo’s gifts of teaching and preaching through his broadcasts and podcasts, this book is for you!
