Edith
Stein
(Catholic Book)
A Biography
Waltraud Herbstrith
A powerful and moving story of the remarkable Jewish woman who converted to
Catholicism, became a nun, achieved remarkable success in the male-dominated
world of German philosophy, and was sent to a Nazi death camp when she refused
to deny her Jewish heritage.
Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, declared Edith Stein the best
doctoral student he ever had (even abler than Heidegger, who was also his
pupil at the time). A prayerful woman of deep spirituality and authentic mystical
experience, she remained an influential, active philosopher all her life.
Though born and raised in a very religious Jewish family in Germany, she not
only converted to Catholicism, but became a Carmelite nun and followed in
the footsteps of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross.
Edith Stein vigorously opposed Nazism from the outset and urged Pope Pius
XI to put the church on record against Hitler. A model Catholic, a brilliant
intellectual, yet a profoundly humble soul, she affirmed her solidarity with
her suffering Jewish people no matter the cost. Edith Stein was arrested by
the Nazis at a Carmelite convent at Echt in Holland and sent to her death
at Auschwitz.
Waltraud Herbstrith has fashioned a warm, memorable portrait of this woman
who, as Jesuit philosopher Jan Nota points out in the introduction, "discovered
in Christ the meaning of human existence and suffering ... Edith Stein was
one of those Christians who lived out of a hope transcending optimism and
pessimism." Hers is a voice that speaks powerfully to all of us today,
and a life that stands as testimony to the profoundest values of human existence,
the significance of the individual, and the truths of faith that can reconcile
Christian and Jew, philosophy and religion, oppressor and oppressed to heal
a troubled world.

Classic
Catholic Converts
(Catholic Book)
Classic Catholic
Converts presents the compelling stories of over 25 well-known converts to
Catholicism from the 19th and 20th centuries. It tells of powerful testimonials
to God's grace, men and women from all walks of life in Europe and America
whose search for the fullness of truth led them to the Catholic Church. It
is the witness of brilliant intellectuals, social workers, scientists, authors,
film producers, clergy, businessmen, artists and others who, under the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, studied and prayed their way into the Church.
Fr. Charles Connor writes insightful and wonderfully readable stories of a
rich variety of converts who struggled greatly with many challenges as they
embraced Catholicism, including rejection by loved ones, persecution from
strangers, and misunderstanding by peers. But, once they responded to God's
call, they experienced great inner peace, contentment and joy. Among the famous
converts whose stories are told here include John Henry Newman, Edith Stein,
Jacques Maritain, Dorothy Day, G.K. Chesterton, Elizabeth Seton, Karl Stern,
Ronald Knox and many more.
"A great gift at a moment of history when conversions to the Catholic
Church are receiving renewed attention. Marvelously readable stories highlight
the vivid diversity of the personalities and the unity of the truth that still
brings restless souls into full communion with the Church of Jesus Christ."
—Rev. Richard John Neuhaus Editor, First Things
"This fine parade of men and women, described with insight by Father
Connor, shows how long is the reach of the Holy Spirit and how varied are
the personalities He has gathered to Himself."
—Rev. George W. Rutler Author, A Crisis of Saints
"The touching conversion stories that Fr. Connor so concisely presents
convey the joys as well as the struggles that converts continue to experience
on their journey into the Catholic Church."
—Marcus C. GrodiPresident, The Coming Home Network
"This book reminds 'cradle Catholics' of the pearl of great Price that
is ours and should motivate many of us to a sharper sense of evangelization
as the new Millennium begins. Rich information and valuable insights abound-highly
recommended!"
—Most Reverend Edwin F. O'BrienArchbishop for the Military Services
Fr. Charles Connor, a pastor of a parish in the diocese of Scranton, PA, is
an expert in Church history. He is the host of several television series on
EWTN including Historic Catholic Converts.

Drink
Of The Stream
Prayers of Carmelites
(Catholic Book)
Carmelite history
and prayer begin with Elijah on Mount Carmel. From Elijah has descended a
long line of saints who have heard the voice of the Lord calling them to leave
everything and come "drink from the stream". This book is an invitation
for you to come and pray with the holy men and women of the Carmelite order.
The prayers and meditations in this book will help the reader listen to and
pray with the saints of Carmel throughout the ages, from Elijah through the
twentieth century. In these prayers are stories of particular times, places,
longings, sometimes suffering, at other times ecstatic joy. These prayers
allow one to enter into the most intimate depths of the souls of Carmelite
saints. How better to learn than from the masters themselves.
This book is made up of the prayers and meditations of more than twenty-five
saints, along with a short biography of each saint, and numerous illustrations.
In addition to helping one with prayer and meditation, it also provides prayer
for specific topics. Whether one is a beginner or highly advanced in prayer,
there is a prayer suitable for nearly every occasion. These magnificent prayers
echo from prison cells, hospital beds, battlefields, and even treetops. It
gives special emphasis to the prayers and meditations of the three great Carmelite
mystics: Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and Thérèse of
Lisieux. But the other twenty-two saints include a wonderful variety, with
Elizabeth of the Trinity, Simon Stock, Titus Brandsma, Edith Stein, and many
more. Illustrated
