Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Even by the most unrestrained estimates, the Covid pandemic never approached the lethality of the Spanish flu of 1918. Yet the effect that our fears, amplified by the mass media, had on society were infinitely more debilitating.In times such as these, our Christian faith has always offered hope and strength. But this past year was different. The reservoir of Christian belief was drained to dangerously low levels, and many Christians succumbed to the epidemic of fear.In this clear-eyed book about the real Covid crisis, Philip Lawler dissects how Church leaders and the faithful responded to this health emergency. He explains the devastating effects on society when Church leaders tell their people not to attend Sunday Mass, and when they ban Confession, marriages, and baptisms. He tackles the dangerous consequences of treating schoolchildren like lepers and explores the ethics of vaccines and the plight of parish priests caught in the middle.Best of all, Lawler reveals how faithful Catholics responded to major crises in previous centuries and calls on today's Christians to display the same courageous faith that once offered hope to a fearful world -- one that radiates inner peace, confidence, and hope in times such as these.Epidemics may come, wars may rage, and governments may teeter and fall, but when our eyes remain fixed on the Lord, we will know serenity and draw souls to Christ. Our hope and courage will be contagious, and our society will be saved from the death spiral into fear, hatred, and despair that we are witnessing.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. In this book Phil Lawler presents a wide and varied range of walks across the mountains of the Axarquia in Andalucia, which are near Malaga and the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Many people will be surprised to find mountains rising to 2,000 metres within just a few kilometres of the coastline. Phil was one of the pioneering walking guides in this area from the late 1990s and he knows the area intimately. The book is intended primarily for the use of hill walkers rather than strollers, although the walks are helpfully graded for difficulty and include some easier ones. Hopefully there will be a choice for everybody. Some of the walks are in remote areas, to which access may need a sturdy car or four-wheel drive. This is the second in the series; the first covers the national park of the Picos de Europa in Northern Spain.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Philip Lawler, one of America's most respected Catholic writers and cultural critics, bursts onto the fiction scene with a riveting debut novel that plunges readers into the hidden battles of the Church in the 1980s. Lawler exposes beneath the surface of parish life and chancery politics a world of secrets, compromises, and spiritual warfare -- where the faithful struggle to survive and a young priest discovers that he has a special mission -- and powerful enemies. At the center is Fr. Andy Miller, freshly ordained and already under fire. Forced into sessions with a psychologist, Miller finds that his candid inner voice collides with the stark realities of an archdiocese in which corruption festers and power eclipses truth. Yet through humor, humility, and flashes of startling grace, he fights to shepherd his flock and live out a priesthood that may come at great personal cost. The story races from Boston's parishes to the danger zones of war-torn El Salvador, where Miller's quest thrusts him into peril and political intrigue. Shadowing his path is his brother Peter, a high-ranking official in the Reagan administration, whose own battles in Washington entwine with Andy's in ways neither could predict. With every turn, the tension mounts -- lives hang in the balance, faith is tested, and the line between betrayal and redemption blurs. More than a thriller, this is a profound spiritual journey. Lawler pulls readers into the struggle to discern spirits, to cling to God in the face of corruption, and to discover peace through surrender to His will. Along the way, the true beauty of the Church and the essence of the priestly vocation come alive. This is not just a novel. It is a heart-pounding, soul-stirring plunge into faith under fire. Once you enter Fr. Miller's world, you won't be able to put the book down. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
