Medieval tithe barns are buildings designed to store what is put aside for God by the community. In their beauty and elegance, they put most modern churches to shame.
Archdiocesan Liturgical Handbook Published By Archdiocese of Portland
Intended primarily for priests and deacons, this is not only practical and legal, it is also inspirational. Drawing on, for example, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Sacrosanctum Concilium, it describes the Church's vision of what the liturgy and the sacraments are for and then orders the practical and legal norms to this.

Why AA Works! The Value of Daily Non-Sacramental Confession and House Groups, Part 1 Avoiding Scrupulosity
The Vision for You process leads us to an accurate and deep confession that brings joy. We cannot confess too many sins if what we say is accurate and true. Scrupulosity is anxiety caused by a lack of trust in God’s infinite mercy which leads to repetition and needless over-elaboration of detail in the description of any one sin.

Painting the Nude: The Theology of the Body and Representation of Man in Christian Art
In this book, Clayton provides us with a synthesis that places all within the context of the greater tradition of Catholic thinking on these topics and shows how, far from being a radical departure from it, the Theology of the Body is reinforcing a traditionally Christian and conservative approach to the nude in art. - Deacon Keith Fournier
This is Spiritual Warfare - But Take Heart, the War is Won!
I am delighted that Sophia Institute Press is going to use my painting of St Michael for the cover of an upcoming book, Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits, which will be published next month.

Book Recommendation: Faith Comes From What is Heard- An Introduction to Fundamental Theology, by Dr Lawrence Feingold
Did you know that Mark was not the first gospel written? No, they were written in the order in which they appear in the Bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Read this book to find out why modern analyses are most likely wrong. Fundamental theology is the study of theology itself. It sets the ground rules by which we study God. Much of its attention, therefore is on scripture. In this book Dr Lawrence Feingold reestablishes the methods of scriptural analysis of the Church Fathers, going back to figures such as Origen in the 3rd-century AD. He does so, in part, by analyzing rationally the modern method of historical-critical analysis and showing why it has lead us into error.
