Your Share of the Prophets: A Study of Old Testament Prophecy by Scott Hahn. Most Christians gain little profit from reading the prophetic books of the Bible. Some reduce the sum of the prophecies to a few Old Testament forecasts about the Virgin Birth and the suffering Messiah. Others chalk it all up to vague predictions about the distant future. Still others just write off the prophets as too weird for popular consumption. Yet the words of the prophets are indispensable to our growth--not only in our understanding of the Catholic faith, but in our most basic understanding of the world we live in. Without a clear understanding of prophecy, we cannot interpret the signs of our times.
Scott guides listeners through a seminar on how to read prophetic works, and how to apply the prophetic word to everyday life. First, we have to put away false notions of prophecy. Dr. Hahn leads us to see that the strange language of prophecy fills more than the 17 prophetic books of the Old Testament. It's in the books of Moses as well, and in the words of Jesus and St. Paul and the Book of Revelation. Prophecy is relevant to our lives today! Cardinal Ratzinger put it well in his notes illuminating the third secret of Fatima. Prophecy in the biblical sense, he explained, does not mean merely to predict the future, but to explain the will of God for the present. For it's God's will that every generation, and every individual since Adam, should undergo trial, a testing of faith and virtue--an ordeal. Sometimes the testing involves political or social turmoil. In many cases, however, the suffering is mostly personal and private. These ordeals usually seem hopeless by human standards and present us with choices that are sometimes obscure, but we can make sense of them if we allow Scripture to inform our minds and hearts.

The Truths of Salvation with Father Benedict Groeschel, CFR. Since man first walked the earth, he has buried his dead with the hope of a life to come, a life beyond this world of pain and suffering. We can see from the pyramids and the earliest tombs that man hoped death was not the end. But the question has always been: What's on the other side? Through the Scriptures, it becomes clear that over time, the dark, shadowy place which the Jews called Sheol eventually became a bright hope for believers in the one who came to free us from that death, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Fr. Groeschel, reveals the answers to all-important questions such as where am I going? What's my life about? How do I get there? Addressing not only Catholics but Christians of all denominations, Fr Groeschel answers these questions using the most important aspects of Sacred Scripture plus the writings of the Early Church Fathers. With his characteristic wit and candor, Fr Groeschel takes the listener on an enlightening journey from the reality and mystery of original sin to our ultimate destination, our Father's home in heaven. Along the way, you'll learn about the basic truths of faith such as salvation and justification and how Protestants and Catholics are actually closer on these concepts than you may think. You'll learn why science and faith should not conflict but actually complement each other. Fr. Groeschel gives you the big picture of the plan of salvation, touching upon fundamental issues that have always troubled mankind. A great tool to share essential Catholic teachings with non-believing friends and family, or those who believe in Christ but aren't clear on the whys and wherefores of salvation, redemption, and the realities of heaven, hell, and purgatory.

Keep 'Em Catholic: Stay the Course by Tim Staples.
Most Catholics do not realize how difficult it is today to remain faithful to Jesus. Many fail to recognize that we live in a nation that has been predominately Protestant in its history, yet is gradually becoming more and more agnostic-even atheistic! How do we stop this spiritual landslide into moral oblivion? How can protect ourselves from the destructive and deadly forces that threaten us from every side? This three tape series provides practical ways to keep you on the straight and narrow in living out the Faith. It also supplies helpful solutions for you get beyond any temptation, trial or tribulation that may come your way. Tim's explanations and exhortations demonstrate that we cannot take the Faith for granted. In fact, you will learn how and why every Catholic has a moral obligation to evangelize others. To fulfill this call, each of us must first discover what it means to partake in the "one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism." We must also struggle to understand why Catholicism stresses the primacy of being--a concept crucial to get ourselves grounded in the grace we need to grow in holiness and to become greater instruments in the salvation of souls. Is not communicating Christ to others the most awesome gift we could ever give? Recall the Scripture passage in Luke's Gospel, "For whom much is given, much is expected." These words of Jesus should stir within us to a great desire to bring as many as possible into an intimate relationship with Christ and His Church. Yet our motivation should not be fear but love. We must burn with the same unquenchable thirst Christ had on the Cross. Keep 'Em Catholic is certain to move you to truly begin to take Catholicism to the next level. It also equips you with the "nuts and bolts" necessary to better de-fend the Faith from malicious attacks and to respond to those seeking real answers. Be a bold witness for Christ and His Church. Only in this way can we hope to attain the perfect charity the Lord is calling us to achieve and lead others to the fullness of truth and sanctification found uniquely in the Catholic Faith.
