Benedict XVI: A Life offers insight into the young life and rise through the Church’s ranks of a man who would become a hero and a lightning rod for Catholics the world over. Based on countless hours of interviews in Rome with Benedict himself, this two-volume biography is the definitive record of the life of Joseph Ratzinger and the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI. This first volume follows his early life, from his days growing up in Germany and his conscription into the Hitler Youth during WWII to his career as an academic theologian and eventual archbishop of Munich.

Writer, preacher, counselor, educator, pastor of souls: all of these descriptions and more have been aptly applied to John Henry Newman (1801-1890). Newman's canonization by Pope Francis focuses attention on the extraordinary holiness and inner life of a man who spent most of his earthly years being misunderstood. His trust in God and his willingness to seek the truth eventually convinced him to seek ordination as a Catholic priest.

When Dietrich von Hildebrand converted to Catholicism in 1914, he was surprised to find that, despite an abundance of books on the dangers of impurity, there were practically none on the positive values of purity. “So,” writes Alice von Hildebrand, widow of Dietrich, in a new foreword to the book, “this is what he set out to do in In Defense of Purity: to explore purity as a positive reality and only in light of its beauty to describe its contrary.”

Story
What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age? Almost everyone would agree that we - in the West, at least - largely do. And clearly the place of religion in our societies has changed profoundly in the last few centuries. In what will be a defining book for our time, Charles Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean - of what, precisely, happens when a society in which it is virtually impossible not to believe in God becomes one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is only one human possibility among others.

As he states in the preface, since this book was first published over 30 years ago, many changes and significant events have occurred in the world, and in the Church. But even so, he says he is firmly convinced that his fundamental approach in this book is still very timely and crucial for the spiritual needs of modern man.

Considered by Joseph Ratzinger devotees as his greatest work on the liturgy, this profound and beautifully written treatment of the "great prayer of the Church" will help listeners to deepen their understanding of the rites of the Church. The cardinal discusses fundamental misunderstandings of the Second Vatican Council's intentions for liturgical renewal, especially about the priest's orientation of prayer to the Father, the placement of the tabernacle in churches, and the posture of kneeling.

Story
It's not always possible to control external events. There are so many things that are outside our control: the past, what others think of us, chronic health issues, other peoples' actions, the weather, unforeseen events. It is possible, though, to gain more control over our interior life. In his book Interior Freedom, Father Jacques Philippe shows us that we possess, each of us, inside of us a space of freedom that no one can take away. Despite the most unfavorable outward circumstances, we can claim our freedom because God is its source and its guarantee.

Publisher's summary
It has been said that John Henry Newman "stands at the threshold of the new age as a Christian Socrates, the pioneer of a new philosophy of the individual person and personal life." Newman's personalism is found in the way he contrasts the "theological intellect" and the "religious imagination."
Newman pleads for the latter when he famously says, in words that John F. Crosby takes as the motto of his book, "I am far from denying the real force of the arguments in proof of a God...but these do not warm me or enlighten me; they do not take away the winter of my desolation, or make the buds unfold and the leaves grow within me, and my moral being rejoice."
In The Personalism of John Henry Newman, Crosby tells the listener how Newman finds the life-giving religious knowledge that he seeks. He explores the "heart" in Newman and explains what Newman was saying when he chose as his cardinal's motto, cor ad cor loquitur (heart speaks to heart). He explains what Newman means in saying that religious truth is transmitted not by argument but by "personal influence."

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Story
Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough. In Girl, Stop Apologizing, number-one New York Times best-selling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people - whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee....

Personal Influence
Newman put his personal influence aside whenever he preached so that he can rely on the Holy Spirit to touch and move hearts toward conversion. That's the reason why he had a monotone way of delivering his sermons. Hence, his influence is still made upon Christians, in and through the example of his docility, meekness, and humility, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, who blows wherever He wills, and guides the Christian soul, in the ways of the Lord. Blessed John Henry Newman, pray for us!

Great insights well-explained
Great insights into Newman, personalism, religious liberty. There are a few times where the philosophical vocabulary bogged me down. But overall the ideas are well-explained. Professor Crosby's way is to present ideas, then present possible objections to the ideas, and then investigate those objections. Rigorous and helpful. A great introduction to the impact of Newman who, Crosby says: "stands at the threshold of the new age as a Christian Socrates, a pioneer of a new philosophy of the individual Person and Personal Life." The narrator has a little bit of Wallace Shawn in his energy and inflection. Quite helpful. Only problem is he read some words wrong (I'm following along in a paper copy so I can highlight and make notes. The font size in the print copy is so small as to be wearing to read without a narrator.) The word mistakes were grating where he repeatedly read causal as casual. Funny thing is at the end of the book the narrator seemed to me to correct a typo, changing "feeling and contemplating are capable of their own nationality" to "their own rationality."

Too many words
The idea is a good one and worth knowing. But one is in danger of drowning the idea in too much verbiage. The book is in need of a good editor.

Religion the Right Way
Dr. Crosby does an incredible job at explaining the profound significance of the thought of St. John Henry Newman for our daily lives. A relationship with God is not merely some abstract matter, nor is it merely some simple good feeling. It is a personal communion with He who created us each individually, who sees us each individually, and who cares about each of us individually.
Personalism as a school of thought in general balances between the errors of individualism, which we see in a hyper form in many Western societies, and collectivism, which reduces the person to a cog in the machine. It sees that man is an individual endowed with subjectivity but is always in community, in intersubjectivity with others. It recognizes that man is personally free and responsible, but is fulfilled in freely responding to value and to the Other as another I.
Crosby shows how Newman, though not a professional philosopher by trade, is as shrewd in many of the matters of philosophy of the human person as contemporaries like his Protestant counterpart Kierkegaard and later phenomenologists and existentialists like Husserl, Scheler, Marcel, and others, many of whom were personalists. If you are a philosopher who is also a believer, this is the perfect book for you. Newman is a much more philosophically sophisticated thinker than most theologians, seeing things extremely lucidly and rigorously in terms that probe the depths and the crux of each matter.
Newman is a thinker who bridges the gap between a dry abstract thought of Scholasticism and its mainly cerebral relation to God and modern existential thought which highlights the now undeniably obvious centrality of the heart. If God is love and in relationship with us, then certainly a lot more matters than our intellect in relation to him as some Christian relationship in general. He wants you to love him as only you can do. And the same goes for your calling in life and to others.
