Understanding
Scrupulosity:
Questions, Helps,
and Encouragement
by
Thomas M. Santa
Many people, at one time
or another, struggle with faith issues about sin, guilt, punishment,
and hell. But a large segment of the population, many of them
Catholic, are so afraid of sin that their lives are marked with
anxiety and fear. These people suffer from an affliction called
"scrupulosity." Rather than experiencing faith as a source of peace,
scrupulous individuals can't seem to shake their feelings of
impending doom, disappointment, and eventual condemnation.
Based on thirty-five years of questions and answers to the
Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, this book provides specific answers
to questions and concerns related to sin, confession, self-worth,
sexuality, prayer, God's forgiveness, thoughts, dreams, fantasies,
and other issues. It offers words of encouragement and helpful
suggestions to those who suffer from this affliction and for those
who counsel them. 320 pages, paperback (Item

The Art of Affirmation
by
Robert Furey, PhD
Affirmation is the sincere
expression of appreciation for a person’s remarkable qualities. We
all have special gifts. Sadly, many blessings are overlooked and
thus remain hidden. Through affirmation, we help people find their
strengths and become all they were meant to be. The Art of
Affirmation explains the importance of affirmation and how we are
affected when we are deprived of it. Most importantly, this book
teaches how to affirm. It leads the reader from basic concepts to
advanced skills in the art of affirmation. Affirmation may be the
most important gift we can ever give someone. Dr. Furey’s
encouraging, appealing message will resonate with readers, both as
givers of this special gift, and, more significantly, receivers.
Robert Furey, PhD,
has been a practicing psychotherapist for over twenty years. He is a
columnist for The Saint Louis Review and has taught at Saint Louis
University and the University of Missouri at Saint Louis.

Divining the Body:
Keys to Discovering Your Sacred Self
by Jan Phillips
Honor Your Body as the Instrument of Your Soul
This book is an attempt to undo the damage we've sustained living in a
culture that thrives on our self-hatred. It is a sanctification of our human
bodies, a consecration of ourselves as hosts to the Great Beloved. It is a
journey of awe and reverence through the sacred terrain of foot and hand,
back and breast, heart and brain. The path to peace is the pathway through
ourselves, starting with the inward step, the brave, gentle step toward the
Divine within.
-from the Introduction
Our view of the human body is always evolving. From the goddess-worship
of civilizations millennia ago, to the strict social rules of Victorian
England, to the modern feminist movement, the human body-particularly the
feminine body-has always been a point of interest, mystery, and contention.
Discover an entirely new way to look at your body-as a pathway to the
Divine. Award-winner Jan Phillips takes you on an energizing journey through
your physical self, drawing connections between the bone, muscle, and sinew
of your body and the spiritual teachings of various faith traditions, modern
scientific research, and her own experiences. You will find yourself
empowered to work to transform the world around you and overcome
self-defeating thoughts through positive, practical exercises and
meditations that show you how to climb back into your body and honor it as
the temple of God that it is. Paperback

few years you will spend on earth. You were made to last forever!Self-help
books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of

understand that, life will never make sense.This book will help you

Oswald Chambers, Rick Warren offers distilled wisdom on the essence of
what life is all about. This is a book of hope and challenge that you will
