| In accessible and lively prose, this book explains the ceremonies of the Catholic Mass and their meaning for lay people, including the young. It is designed to meet the widespread complaint that the Mass is boring, incomprehensible, or alienating. Fr. Randolph goes through the Mass step by step, looking at the origin and purpose of the various elements, and relating them to the reader's experience of prayer and the Christian life. Suggestions are made for ways to enhance our appreciation of the liturgy, how to prepare for Mass, and how to carry the grace of the Mass out into the world. A supplementary chapter looks at the use of Latin in the Mass, its past and present value, and explains it in the context of contemplative prayer. "Fr. Randolph weaves together liturgical, doctrinal, historical, and spiritual themes, bringing the timeless truths of the Lord's Sacrifice and His Real Presence into the context of worship today. The mysteries of the Mass are presented with detailed information that inspires devotion while gently correcting error. This book is not only adult reading. It is an ideal resource for teachers and catechists working with young people." --Msgr. Peter Elliott , Author, Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite "This very instructive book brings the Mass to life. He points out the significance of every word, gesture, and ritual, making the Mass very personal." -- Catholic Herald |

| Many, it seems, go through life without serious thought of their Maker or of their moral responsibility to Him; they have the physical necessities and comforts of life and that is all that seems to matter. How has this happened? What are the consequences of the loss of the knowledge of God? And, why do we need to consider the truth about God?This work is written simply but with a deep burden for those who profess to know about God but who, through the influences and pressures of contemporary society, have allowed God to be 'edged out' of their every day life and know nothing of a personal relationship with him. Such people urgently need to get to know God in the day of opportunity before the day of adversity comes.Moses was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets. He was more than a prophet, however. A prophet is one who represents God to the people. On more than one occasion, Moses acted as a priest in representing the people before God; he was their mediator.While the Scriptures teach us many things about God. Ultimately, the only way to know him in a personal way is through Jesus Christ. |

| The Christian life was never meant to be lived by isolated individuals. It was meant to be lived with other Christians. That is the premise of this book. Knowing Christ Together is a unique work that treats the subject of knowing Jesus Christnot as an individual Christianbut as a member of a functioning body of believers. The book focuses on how a group of Christians who have fellowship with one another can learn to know and walk with Jesus Christ together. Some of the thorny issues that this book addresses are: Discovering how to hear and recognize the Lord's voice through other believers. Seeing God's view of Christian community. Understanding a woman's place in the church. The proper role and function of spiritual gifts. And the various conversational styles that we Christians routinely use without realizing it. Knowing Christ Together is a wonderful resource for hungry Christians, churches, and small group fellowships. |
