Click to purchase from Franciscan University Bookstore. There is a reason why Jesus, in His infinite wisdom, gave us the Church as our mother. She guides, she nurtures, she protects, and she keeps us crazy kids in line. Think of any great mom, and warm feelings of love will most likely overcome you. Moms just get it. They get the struggle of life and they know how to guide our hearts and minds toward a greater goal. Oh, and they know how to make a mean chocolate chip cookie. Truth Be Told is a one-stop-shop of questions and answers for those who don't quite understand our Mom (well, Mother Church that is). Armed with 60 common questions about the Church and her teachings, this awesome resource offers both in brief and in depth responses. You'll walk away from this book with not only the knowledge but also the confidence to respond to these questions with truth.

Click to purchase from Franciscan University Bookstore. Oh look, it happened again. That blank page is staring you down like a messy room - you know you should do something about it, but have no idea how to begin. It's possible that you've heard journaling is important, but you've never been given the instructions as to how to begin the practice. Even with pen in hand, adoring Christ in the Eucharist, it can still be difficult to connect your head and heart with paper. Vox is your tool for exactly that scenario. Whether it is every day or just on occasion that you find yourself in need of a jump-start to journaling, Vox is aimed at helping you find God's voice in even the quietest of times. This book contains voices from the saints, quotes from Sacred Scripture, and short prayers to offer up before you begin journaling, all broken down by topic so you can find prompts to fit your prayer, and so a blank page is never daunting again.

The bold promise of this book is that we can. This ability carries an awesome responsibility: We must all be mentors and midwives to the personal vocations of others. Unrepeatable is about the urgent need for each of us to cultivate the vocations of others and the steps we should take to do it well.

The majority of parables that Jesus told were about sowers, seeds, lost sheep, fathers and sons, and fig trees—but not specifically about God. Jesus used both teaching and parables, and the latter is often missing in Catholic media today. The concept of "Judgmental Moose" was to tell a parable about the seven deadly sins using the stuffed head of a moose as a “Jiminy Cricket” type of “voice of conscience”.
