At last, a series of meditations on the Psalms which avoids the sentimentality of most contemporary works, yet steers clear of the arid wasteland of modern higher critical academia. Lively, and highly devotional, this book sheds a world of insight upon the beloved Scriptures- the world of the Early Church,and of the Apostles themselves, who constantly used and referred to the Psalms in their own writings. Father Patrick Reardon is a convert from the Episcopal Church, a pastor, editor, writer, and educator, as well as an avid student of the Holy Scriptures. You will find his grasp of the Psalms, and his application to modern life via the lens of the Church's traditional understanding, both captivating and deeply convicting.

Some Christians have piled the status of the mother of Jesus so high that it rivals that of her Son. Others ignore the Virgin Mary entirely. Behind all of the images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ. How did the first Christians view her?

Frederica Mathewes-Green opens up the Virgin Mary's early life, offering a window into her centrality to the Christian Faith in new and sometimes startling ways.
