The Great Adventure
An Introduction to
Theology of the Body: A Four Part Series for Faith Formation by Christopher
West
| As a
champion of the Pope John Paul II's revolutionary “theology” of the body,
West points out the profound misunderstanding of what we understand male and
female to mean. The Holy Father teaches that human life’s dignity and
balance depends at every moment on “who woman will be for man and who man
will be for woman.” God’s plan of life and love is literally stamped in our
bodies, and we reject this plan at our own peril.
The Theology of the Body has been called “one of the boldest reconfiguration of Catholic theology in centuries,” according to the papal biographer, George Weigel. Outline of Talks: Talk 1: What is the Theology of the Body & Why Is It So Important? Talk 2: The Creation & Redemption of Man and Woman Talk 3: The Resurrection of the Body & the Heavenly Marriage Talk 4: The Sacrament of Marriage & the Language of Sexual Love |

Footprints of God:
Peter, Keeper of the Keys by Stephen K. Ray.
The
Fourth Wise Man.
Starring Martin Sheen,
Alan Arkin, and Eileen Brennan. Based on Henry van Dyke's classic, "The Story
of the Other Wise Man," a fictional story set in Biblical times, told in gently
comic terms. It concerns a Magi named Artaban (Martin Sheen) who studies the
prophecies and witnesses a sign in the heavens that he hopes will lead him and
his faithful servant, Orantes (Alan Arkin), to the Messiah. Artaban takes with
him three precious gifts to present to the Messiah. For 33 years, Artaban and
Orantes pursue Jesus, only to miss Him at every turn. Along the way, Artaban
uses his gifts to help people in dire need. He now has nothing to present to
the Messiah when he finds Him. The story culiminates on Easter Sunday as
Artaban, old and dying, finally encounters the new King, bringing peace to his
final moments of life.

(3d video in a 13 part series)
|
A.D.
Picking up where the acclaimed Jesus of Nazareth leaves off,
A.D. vividly recreates the turbulent years following the
Resurrection of Christ, contrasting Imperial Rome's harsh rule
with the "revolution of love" being waged by a
determined group of Christians armed only with their faith and
love. Like the acclaimed Jesus of Nazareth, A.D. is a mammoth six
hour production that tells the inspiring story of the great
triumph of the early Church despite the Jewish and Roman
persecutions. Includes many great stars including James Mason,
Richard Roundtree, Susan Sarandon, Ava Gardner, Colleen Dewhurst,
Jennifer O'Neille, Fernando Rey, Millie Perkins, Ben Vereen, Jack
Warden, John Houseman and Anthony Zerbe. It is the best picture
of this era of the underground and persecuted church, focusing on
Peter and Paul through their travels, travails and martyrdoms. It
comes with a Study Guide for use with the Video series for those
who want to match up the events in the Acts of the Apostles with
the film. A true classic. [The original 9 hour version in a boxed
set is also available for $80.95. Phone 877-461-8608 or order below].
Finding
the Fullness of Faith by Stephen K. Ray. Baptist
convert Stephen Ray shares deep insights and effective arguments to win over
even the hardest of hearts. You’ll be swept away as this best-selling author
and apologist shares his journey to Catholicism and investigates the primary
stumbling blocks of those who vehemently oppose the Church, the issues of
Salvation and the Papacy. Steven's love for the Church comes out in his voice and
words. His life experiences and his knowledge of Scripture are
inspiring. He is currently engaged in producing a thirteen part video
series on the Church, the first video of which is already out.
A thirteen hour video series by Dr. Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins,
which is ideal for beginning Bible studies because it gives the
viewer an overview of salvation history as seen in fourteen
historical books of the Bible. Jeff Cavins, whose show "Life
on the Rock" appears on EWTN, outlines the Scriptural
setting and story and Scott plunges into the theology with
tremendous insights into the old and new covenants (which was the
subject of his doctoral dissertation). You emerge from this
series with an understanding of the Bible timeline and of God's
plan of salvation which gives you a basis on which to put future
knowledge of Scripture and theology. This is a study you will
want to repeat and share with your friends! The dynamic duo
present a Bible study that is perfect for those just beginning
the study of Scripture or for those with much experience in God's
word. Beginning with the book of Genesis, they walk the viewer
through salvation history in a most enlightening study, that
shows the intricate weave between the Old and New Testaments. They demonstrate the truth of St.
Augustine's saying that the Old Testament is revealed in the New
and the New Testament is hidden in the Old. This work can be
supported by Dr. Scott Hahn's book, "A Father Who Keeps His
Promises" which complements and parallels much of the
series. This too is in our catalog. We also offer free notes with
this series, which comprise summaries of each of the thirteen
episodes in the series. These are a free download from our Free
Stuff page. Finally, we offer the Bible timelines and timeline
beads and handouts that complement this series if you would like
to obtain them. Phone us at 877-461-8608 if you want any of these
extras.
Have you ever
felt like you need a little reinforcement in your faith? Maybe

that their lives have been changed forever. It gives St. Joseph
Communications great joy and inspiration to introduce to you -
perhaps for the first time - one of the most talented and gifted
group of young people we have ever come across. RADIX, a youth
outreach group from Lincoln Nebraska, is made up of young people
who are committed to Christ and His teachings given to us through
the Holy Catholic Church. RADIX has performed at World Youth Day
and National Youth Day in Denver and have produced a variety of
music albums for young and old alike. Their mission is to spread

Christ" is one of their most powerful and requested
performances. It provides insight into the tremendous suffering
that Christ endured for us, and the unfathomable depth of His
love and mercy. After watching this video and seeing its effects

Through the experiences
recalled by the aging apostle Matthew, starring Richard Kiley,
you will follow Jesus through Judea and witness the
world-changing events of His life; His birth, His ministry, His
sacrifice...and His glorious resurrection. A unique presentation
that brings to the screen a divine yet warmly human Jesus.
Starring Richard Kiley as Matthew and Bruce Marchianoas as Jesus.
Set of four beautifully packaged videos in a sturdy/colorful
slipcase. See our special price, below!
Tape 1 of 4
Matthew 1:1-9:1 - The aging apostle recalls the remarkable events
he witnessed as a young man. As the story unfolds you share the
mystery and wonder of Jesus' birth, baptism, temptation, and the
compassion and hope of the Sermon on the Mount. Watch as Jesus
calls His disciples and performs the first miracles. (58 min.,
this tape only)
Tape 2 of 4
Matthew 9:2-14:36 - With a question, a laugh, a warm embrace, He
uses the commonplace details of daily life to unveil profound
spiritual truths. Through a mustard seed or a pearl of great
price...a thorny field or a measure of yeast, Jesus teaches a
revolutionary concept of inner morality that brings increasing
conflict with the religious establishment of His day. Walking the
dusty roads and lush fields with Jesus, you reach anew
understanding of His tenderness. You will gain a fresh insight
into the preparing of His disciples for their mission and
ultimate persecution. The feeding of the 5,000 reveals the
compassion and warm humanity of Jesus as He responds to the needs
of ordinary people. Watch as Jesus walks on the water... and as
Peter discovers anew his own frailty apart from complete faith in
Christ. (58 min., this tape only)
Tape 3 of 4
Matthew 14:36-23:39 - Watch as Jesus' followers begin to truly
recognize that their beloved companion, is the long-awaited
Messiah. The announcement of His own death and the glory of His
transfiguration cause both wonder and devastation in the hearts
of the disciples. Alarmed at his fast-growing popularity and
outraged by his revolutionary message, many depart His company.

Not since the release of
the audio cassette, "Protestant Minister Becomes
Catholic" has a tape so caught the attention of laypeople
and clergy alike, as in this video presentation, on the
"Fourth Cup." In this truly electrifying video tape,
Dr. Scott Hahn explains the Last Supper in the context of the
Jewish Passover. With a careful and meticulous reading of the
relevant Gospel texts, and drawing upon his detailed knowledge of
the Jewish Passover liturgies, Dr. Hahn pulls together all the
parallels between the Old Testament Jewish Passover and the
events leading up to and including Christ's death on the cross --
showing that Christ is the true and perfect Passover lamb. He
goes on to show the relevance of John the Baptist introducing
Jesus as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the
world" and how nearly every detail of the Jewish Passover
requirements were fulfilled in Christ -- from sprinkling the
blood of the lamb on the doorpost with a hyssop branch, to
sacrificing a lamb without any broken bones. If you have ever
wondered what was going on in the upper room at the Last Supper,
or how the Eucharistic celebration of our Sunday Masses are
related to this most significant event, then you must see this
video tape. Don't miss this opportunity to really understand our
Lord in the Eucharist and why we Must "eat the Lamb."
Archbishop
Fulton J. Sheen was a renown preacher of God's word and had one
of the most popular TV shows in the 1950's, entitled "Life
is worth Living". He spent 25 years as a classical philosopher at Catholic University and some thought he was on his
way to becoming the Thomas Aquinas of the twentieth century. Then
he moved into radio and eventually the new medium of television,
where he became an instant hit, even against Milton Berle, Mr.
Television and Frank Sinatra, whose shows were opposite his. His
audience reached 25 million by 1954 and received between 15,000
and 25,000 letters per day. His presentation was designed for
people of all faiths. Sheen sought to reintroduce Christianity to
St. Thomas Aquinas. He once said at Easter, "The law He gave
us was clear: life is a struggle. Unless there is a cross in our
lives, there will never be an empty tomb--unless there is a crown
of thorns, there will never be a halo of light--unless there is
Good Friday, there will never be Easter Sunday." Bishop
Sheen drew many souls to Christ and this series is a classic for
those who have heard Sheen preach before and a sensible and
spiritual delight for those who have not yet heard this saintly
man preach Christ's Gospel with insight and devotion. His coat of
arms as Bishop read "Grant that I may come to Thee through
Mary." I believe the current occupant of Peter's chair has a
similar motto! This series covers the following topics:
Confession
Satan
Love
the Mass
Choice
the Our Father
Youth and Sex
"Wasting your life for Christ"
Our Lady
Kenosis
"Old Pots"
the Cross

One of the
handful of Marian appearances that the Church has approved as
legitimate was her appearance to a poor Aztec Indian in conquered
Mexico in the year 1531 A.D., by the name of Juan Diego. Juan, as
the Spanish called him, was most hesitant to do as the Lady in
his vision asked, but he did. He went to see the newly arrived
Spanish Bishop, Juan Zumarraga, to tell him of the vision he had
on Tepyac hill and that Mary desired a church to be built on the
former Atzec goddess' site (where human sacrifices had taken
place in accord with the Aztec religion) and that Our Lady would
intercede with her Son for the people of Mexico if this were
done. The Bishop was more than skeptical and Juan was becoming
discouraged in his inability to convince the Bishop, but a
miracle convinced the Bishop and made Juan the key figure in the
conversion of nine million Indians, beginning only ten short
years after the conquest by the conquistadores. This documentary
includes testimony from priests, historians, doctors, authors and
others and explains the import of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Mexico
and the Americas, the miracles associated with the shrine and the
relationship of what the president of Mexico referred to as
"Guadalupian love" to the pro-life movement. 70
minutes.
This is the story of a journey, about a deep, moving and profound
search for "Truth" driven by a spiritual yearning and
hunger that would not subside. These remarkable individuals share
their life stories about coming home to the universal or Catholic
Church. All four men served as ordained ministers in Protestant
denominations, but gave up promising careers, their homes and in
some cases were rejected by their own families when they made the
decision to become Catholics. They tell how their walk with God
came to the need to convert from a personal, Scriptural and
historical background. But after years of studying Scripture,
history and the Early Church Fathers' writings, they all came to
the decision that the Catholic Church was "the Fullness of
the Truth." This took much prayer and even some heartache, a
good deal of courage and considerable trust in the Lord, but
today all have ministries within the Catholic Church and are
actively promoting their fervent faith and joy. A great
apologetic tool for inspiring Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

When was the
last time you heard a 9th grade confirmation student say, "I
finally understand what the 6th and 9th Commandments really
mean." Or an 11th grade high school student say, "I
really understand these commandments now because RADIX speaks to
us on our level." How about hearing a priest come out of a
confessional and say "the depths of these young people's
confessions were truly profound, they seemed to really understand
and connect with how RADIX presented these commandments."

the message was clear and taught me a lot more about these
commandments and my faith as a whole. I didn't realize there was
so much I didn't know." Well brothers and sisters, whether
you're a parent, a religious education teacher, or a DRE (Director
of Religious Instruction). Maybe you're a youth minister, a
Pastor, head of a youth outreach program. No matter what your
involvement is with young adults, teens and even young married
couples, this video is just what you have been looking for. In
this video, the youth outreach group RADIX, using a variety of
sound effects, music, lighting, comedy, serious drama and sound
doctrine, presents the 6th and 9th commandments in a framework of
the overall picture of God's plan for his children. Beginning
with a basic introduction of creation, sanctifying grace, sin,
free will and more, RADIX shows how the holiness of sex, the
sanctity of marriage and the virtue of modesty are all connected
to Jesus Christ and His Passion on Calvary. This video is an
excellent teaching tool for any classroom or living room.

young people around the country of all ages. If our previous

The Ten Commandments by
Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R. Are the Ten Commandments rules to limit our
freedom or signposts for our great good? They are for our great good! God
wants us to be happy and the ten commandments are not the "ten
suggestions" nor should they be dismissed as impossible for human frailty
to uphold. In twelve half-hour episodes Fr. Groeschel demonstrates why the
Franciscan Friar from the Harlem is so beloved and respected. His counsel and
spirituality touch audiences almost as wide and diverse as Christendom itself.
