Below is a list of seven books that Fr Joe has recommended, with short reviews, recommendations or excerpts from the prefaces.
A Year with the Angels
Mike Aquilina
Author Mike Aquilina offers a year worth of reflections drawn from the Bible and writings of the Saints. “Let the Angels show you the power and beauty of prayer and let them guide you on your own journey, so that you too can one day share their Heavenly bliss”.
The Gospel of the Family
Fr Juan Jose Perez-Soba & Stephan Kampowski
“Going beyond Cardinal Kasper’s proposal in the debate on Marriage, Civil Re- Marriage and Communion in the Church”
In Sinu Jesu. When Heart Speaks to Heart
A Benedictine Monk
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke: “In Sinu Jesu recounts the graces experienced in the life of one priest through the healing and strengthening power of Eucharistic Adoration. At the same time it issues an urgent call to all priests and all Christians to be renewed in holiness through adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament and consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces.”
The Anti-Mary Exposed
Carrie Gress
Mark Miravalle, Professor of Mariology: ”This inspired, monumental text is foundational for the proper restoration of authentic feminine beauty, dignity and fulfilment through and with the Spiritual Mother of All Peoples.”
Scandalous Mercy: When God Goes beyond Boundaries
Sister Emmanuel Maillard
Ralph Martin, Professor of Theology: “This book has the capacity to awaken faith in those who have lost it, strengthen it in those who have it and call to deeper conversion and greater holiness to anyone who reads it.”
Consecration to St Joseph
Rev. Donald Calloway, MIC
Scott Hahn, Chair of Biblical Theology & the New Evangelisation: “It is a summary of the whole of the study of St Joseph, the wisdom of the saints and teachings of the popes, the reflections of theologians. Let us look to, and learn from St Joseph, the spiritual father of us all.”
Love Yourself, Know Yourself
Vesna Gracner & Mirko Matausic
“If we fail to recognise our negative emotions and false beliefs beneath them, they govern our behaviour. It is similar to a virus that can infect a computer and interfere with normal functioning. It would be necessary for people to more aware of their unconscious emotions in order for their personal life to be more joyful and societal relations more harmonious.”
