Additional Book Recommendations:
 Finding Your Bible: A Catholic's Guide
by Timothy Schehr
Many Catholics have a renewed interest in studying the Bible and are
actively participating in either group or individual scripture studies.
This book is an interesting companion to scripture study, moving well
beyond the initial question of which version to study and offering new
and fresh perspectives on how, why and what to study. Designed for
group use, each of the book's nine chapters concludes with a series of
interesting reflection questions. If you are interested in Bible study,
but not part of an organized group, this book might also be a helpful
launching point. It offers a fresh perspective and several helpful
hints, as well as additional print and internet resources for scripture
study.
 God's Library: A Catholic Introduction to the World's Greatest Book
by Joe Paprocki
A unique approach to reading the Bible
for the millions of Catholics who don't know where to begin. Joe
Paprocki, a veteran catechist and Bible authority, guides readers into
a basic understanding of Gods Library - the collection of seventy-three
books that Catholics regard as the definitive written revelation of
God.

 Twelve Strong Women of God: Biblical Models for Today
Stories of women larger than life, yet who were
vulnerable and in need of God's loving aid--these are the stories you'll find in
Twelve Strong Women of God: Biblical Models for Today. Both women and men who
read these stories will recognize some of the challenges they face in their own
lives. They can take courage from the example of the biblical heroines Marci
Alborghetti writes about in such an insightful and easy-to-read style. Reflect
on the heroism of Miriam and of the Pharaoh's daughter in protecting Moses, the
future leader of Israel. Admire the struggle of Deborah to carry out her role as
judge at a time when Israel was unfaithful to God and men dominated the culture.
Consider the loyalty of Ruth in following her mother-in- law to a strange land
where the people worshipped a different God, and where they had to rely on
providence for their home and food. The first person narrative brings these
figures even more fully to life and closer to our own life situations. It
enables us to connect with these women in a very personal way and find answers
and direction for the challenges we face. Twelve Strong Women of God is an
invaluable resource for everyone who would like to know more about the women in
the Bible and how they can be models for us today.

Life After Sunday
 “When
I was a young mother, I longed for friendships with other women who—like
me—were searching for a deeper experience of human life. I had no
leadership experience, just a desire for more…! So, I asked my pastor to
put an announcement in the bulletin to see if anyone was interested in
forming a small group. Ten years later, we still gather regularly. As
Christ draws us closer to himself, our families and each other, we
continue to grow as women, spouses, mothers, daughters and friends. What a
glorious gift these women have been to my life!”
–Mary Beth Newkumet, editor of Life After
Sunday
When people gather
together to share a meal, enjoy each other's company and honestly discuss
the most important things about human life, something beautiful always
happens.…
Life After Sunday offers fresh discussion
materials for Mothers’ Groups on subjects like Beauty, Gift,
Freedom, Body, Risk and Security. Small group discussion
packages are also available for New Catholics and Stewardship groups. Or,
try our premier three-part series, “The Intimate Path,” perfect for
established groups interested in exploring how the path to the most
amazing, fully human life is the path of those who have fallen deeply in
love with Jesus Christ.
Life After Sunday can be ordered over the
web using Visa or Mastercard and either immediately downloaded as an
electronic file or received by mail in print format. For more information,
please visit
www.lifeaftersunday.com. Need more counsel about how to get a Life
After Sunday small group started? Call Caterina Sparacino at

Reading the Bible in a way that
is as old as Scripture itself, Mark Shea takes us on a "fly-over"
of the biblical story from Genesis to Revelation. He shows you how
to explore the literal, allegorical, moral and anagogical senses
of Scripture. Whether you have been studying
Scripture for years, or are encountering it for the very first
time, "Making Senses Out of Scripture" is an invaluable tool that
will help you see biblical revelation afresh, as Christians have
done for 2000 years.

Evangelical Protestants sometimes accuse
Catholics of basing important doctrines on extrabiblical sources.
Now Catholics will have a ready rejoinder: Patrick Madrid's Where
Is That in the Bible? informs readers of the biblical origins of
Catholic doctrines such as priestly celibacy, veneration of Mary
and the saints, mortal and venial sins, and purgatory. While the
tone is sometimes strident, the information is clear and
conveniently organized by topic.
