Sacrament of Mercy, Sacrament of Love by Fr. Bill Casey, CPM and Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFRYou may have been asked by a Protestant, "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?" As a Catholic, have you ever wondered how to answer? Do you really have a personal relationship with Our Lord? If you have any doubts, let Fathers Bill Casey, a deep toned preacher and Fr Benedict Groeschel, a highly sought after author and preacher, dispel any doubts by exploring the two great sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion which provide an assured personal relationship with Christ that our Protestant brothers and sisters do not enjoy!
The Sacrament of God's Mercy
This edifying tape set begins with Father Bill Casey speaking on Reconciliation, the Forgotten Sacrament of the Church. Fr. Casey wonders about the small amount of penitents showing up for confession which contrasts with the large numbers receiving communion; Is it, he wonders, because we have a large amount of people ready for canonization? Or are many of us Committing Spiritual Suicide? Fr. Casey reminds us that Reconciliation is the ordinary means for the forgiveness of mortal sins after baptism and a veritable treasury of graces and spiritual strength for us in our daily struggles against sin and temptation. But tragically, many have long ago abandoned this sacrament and have come to deny the presence of sin! Even worse, many priests today shy away from telling people that sin is real and that hell exists. But, Father Casey shows that Christ preached repentance and sent his Apostles to preach the message of repentance.
Once we have reconciled ourselves with God, we are ready to enter into his presence. In his talk, The True Presence Combats a Feeble Faith, Fr. Casey explains from Scripture the Catholic doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Learn that Jesus is ready to give you more graces than you ever thought possible if you are prepared to receive them. Learn how you and Jesus together can accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible!

Finding the Fullness of Faith by Stephen K. Ray Have anyone ever asked, "Are you saved?" Do Protestants
tell you that the Papacy is totally unbiblical? Can you describe how the Bible, Sacred Tradition and the Church's
Magisterium fully communicate God's Word? In this exciting new series, 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 faith journey to Catholicism and investigates the primary stumbling blocks of those who vehemently oppose the Church--the issues of salvation and the Papacy.
Stephen Ray had been raised in a devout, loving Baptist family. Always a zealous instructor of Sacred Scripture, he nearly fell off his chair when a close friend, an Evangelical pastor, converted to Catholicism. Steve and his wife Janet began a personal pilgrimage that would bring them great joy and comfort. After serious study, struggle and much prayer, the Rays became convinced that the Catholic Church was the Church founded by Christ almost 2000 years ago. Their study of Scripture and the Fathers of the Church led to the realization that Catholicism faithfully and fully continued the Apostolic teaching, as understood by the Fathers and the Councils of the Church and gloriously preserved through the See of Peter. 
Why the Hell? by Dr. Scott Hahn The wire services were humming this year with late-breaking news from the Vatican. The story? Hell is real. There is a devil. And malicious powers are at work in our world - and in our everyday lives. This reality can even lead to presidential sleaze and deceit -- the degradation of the highest political office in the free world. As the actions of world leaders remind us of the pervasiveness of sin, the words of the Holy Father, reflecting the message of Holy Scripture, remind us that all sin has dire, perpetual, everlasting, and personal consequences. In short, there will be hell to pay. But still we may wonder: Why would a merciful God maintain a hell? Who's going to hell? Might hell be empty? Could you or I end up there? You and I have a lot riding on the answers to those questions. Yet all those questions boil down to one: Why the Hell? And in order to answer that question, we need to get behind it. We need to address the mystery of sin: its causes,
consequences and cure. Listen and learn what the Scriptures have to say about how hell began; why it continues even after Christ's triumph; how even the highest angel, Lucifer, could fall into sin and drag us down with him; how Adam and Eve "disgraced" us through Original Sin; and how Jesus and Mary--the New Adam and the New Eve--can lead us to heaven. The Bible has plenty to say about hell, and none of it's very pleasant, but it is a vital message. One thing is very clear: hell is too close to us for comfort. It finds a way of creeping into ordinary homes and marriages, even the best ones. Listen up,
then, and learn more. (6 tapes) $24
Infallibility vs.
Impeccability: A Closer Look at the Four Controversial Popes by Tim
Staples. Whenever explaining or defending core Catholic beliefs to an evangelical Protestant, you will no doubt get challenged regarding the Papacy. And even after presenting the pertinent Scripture passages affirming the truth about Peter and the "keys of the kingdom," objections will no doubt be voiced regarding four controversial popes. These examples are proposed as "proof positive" that the "Rock of St. Peter" is actually built on shaky ground. Are they right? How can one respond to such objections?
Apologist Tim Staples presents ready responses to any and all critics. Citing texts from the Church Fathers, defined
teaching from Church Councils and the testimony of the saints, Tim offers explosive explanations and carefully-crafted clarifications to defend the erroneous charges cited against these successors of St. Peter. You will be truly amazed when you hear for yourself the historical documentation and evidence he presents.
