Saints at Heart presents an engaging picture of the spiritual life as shown in the experience and writings of the saints. The title announces the book’s double theme: the lives of holy men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, and to the possibility of our following them and also dedicating our hearts to God. Readers will discover in this book well-told and appealing stories of women and men, ordinary human beings like themselves, who knew God and whose lives as a consequence radiated light, love, and joy. Each story presents the core message of a saint’s life and highlights an important spiritual path that readers will be encouraged to follow.

In Faithful Careers Peter M. Smudde contends that God calls us to live an "integrated life" that unifies both the spiritual and the secular aspects of life. As an introduction to integrating the Catholic faith with one’s work, this book answers, in the Catholic context, basic questions of what work is, why work is important, who we are as workers, how may we have fruitful careers, where may we find help about faith-work integration, and when we should take next steps toward better integrating our work and the Catholic faith. Smudde demonstrates how the Catholic faith truly does apply to our labor, and that our lives depend on that labor, by putting forth particular matters of the faith that pertain to faithful careers. He then puts into real-world context, pertinent teachings, concepts, principles, practices, and other means the Catholic Church provides for us, so that those lessons can be practically applied on a daily basis. Sources such as the Bible and writings of the saints, popes, contemporary Catholic spiritual writers, apologists, and scholars are applied to strengthen the support made about the book’s content. Catholic professionals at all stages of their careers will welcome this insightful book, which explores the call to put spirituality in the foreground—to obtain ever-deeper faith and, thereby, greater integration of faith in everyday life and career.

Do you desire to know the truth? There are a lot of misconceptions about the Bible. Lies are often passed down from generation to generation, manipulating the word of God. The only way to really and truly gain a full understanding of the Bible is by intensely studying it with great aspiration. Some may be fine with not knowing the complete truth, or pretending to be a sold out Christian, and not honestly knowing what Gods word says about many issues faced on a daily basis. Individuals may be fine displaying that tag that reads, Jesus is my co-pilot on the front of their car. In all reality, Jesus is the pilot; he operates the vehicle that drives us though life. Most of us are driving underage and need some parental guidance. God is our father and wants to keep us on the right path by nurturing us with his unique and supernatural word, The Bible. Jesus gives us the freedom to run to him or away from him. Hidden Truths challenges you to consider the truth and what it entails. Leighton directly approaches the truth in a daring way that reveals Jesus love for you and causes you to re-evaluate your relationship with Jesus. Leighton urges you to redevelop principles that you have been practicing the wrong way. The only right way to do things is by following Gods holy word.
