We are more than conquerors is a book that will help you think outside the box and think greater of yourself. In this book Fr. Martin Chittadiyil VC challenges the reader that “we all like heroes, conquerors and successful people. Many have got that peculiar style of hero worship. We think heroes are different.

They are the elite. They are favoured. They are chosen. We subscribe to the myth that God has favourites. We place them high on pedestals, far out of reach, so that we don’t have to strive to become like them. We convince ourselves that we are not like them.

But the truth is this: if we are ready to change our lives by learning from Jesus and imitating him we can be successful in our life. We can prove that we are not victims. We can prove that we are not survivors. We can prove that we are conquerors.”

All glory to Jesus is the hymn book of the Vincentian ministries. It is composed of songs sole to the heart of Christian worship which help the faithful to praise the name of the Almighty God. In using this book one reawaken the spirit of psalm

“Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him, his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwellings” (Ps 68: 4-5).

Christ is All, is the prayer book from the Vincentian ministries which guides us through common, personal and powerful official prayers of the Catholic Church. These collections of Catholic prayers are from various Catholic sources; prayer books, journals, catholic-based websites.

The name “Christ is All” is derived from the biblical fact that “Christ is all and in all” (Colossians 3:11). He is the source of everything, living or lifeless and “it is in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).

‘Kristo ni Yote’ (Christ is All), ni kitabu cha sala cha Utume wa mapadre wa shirika la Vinsenti wa Paulo. Hiki kinatuongoza katika sala zenye nguvu na za Kanisa Katoliki zinazotumika katika maisha yetu ya kila siku. Kitabu hiki ni mkusanyiko wa sala za kikatoliki kutoka vyanzo mbali mbali yaani vitabu vya sala, makala, mtandao wa kikatoliki nk. Jina ‘Kristo ni Yote’ linatokana na jambo la kibiblia kwamba ‘Kristo ni yote na yumo katika yote’ (Kol 3:11). Yeye ni asili ya kila kitu kilicho hai au kisichokuwa na uzima ‘ndani yake yeye tunaishi, tunakwenda, na kuwa na uhai wetu’ (Mat 17:28).

The Catholic Catechism for all is a school compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). It also contains the life and teachings of Christ as contained in the Gospels. This book enables the students to enlighten and to defend their faith in the context of the “rapacious wolves devouring Catholic and causing divisions and discord in our communities” (Pope John Paul II). And let me go back to the first Pope’s words: “Always be prepared to make a defence to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence” (1Pet 3:15).

Do not let your hearts be troubled- a Divine consolation by the Word of God is, to summarise, a charming reminder of the power of the Holy Scripture. Is the Word of God relevant? Why do I need to read the Bible? How should I use it? You may have had these doubts; questions before, or someone else may have asked you this. The answer to these is revealed through the personal testimony and experiences of Fr. Biju Valliparambil V.C.

In addition to this, there are list of Bible verses to use in different situations and for different people. The Word of God is the most potent medicine. Just as one would take medication from the Doctor daily, so too one must take spiritual medicine (the Word of God) just as regularly. As seen from the examples in this book, when this is done, you will see miracles taking place in your lives, new paths opening up, and the hand of God in everything you do. All in the power of the Word of God!

The book Divine Rays by Fr. Anto Chittinapilly is a practical and instructive testimony on how individual souls can be harvested for Christ in an effective and practical way through the Wisdom of God and with the help of the Word of God. Priests and the laity, the religious and the seminarians- who are actively engaged in the preaching ministry- can use this as a handy reference book. In this year of the Word of God, those studying the Bible will find this book extremely useful.

It is a unique book of revelation, about St. Joseph, first in the history of the Catholic Church. It reveals the mysterious secrets of the life of St. Joseph, the most just and wise saint that the world had ever seen. It was hidden from forefathers and prophets for centuries; but the Lord willed to reveal it to the generation today. Jesus said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it” (Lk. 10:23-24). Here is the answer for all those who love and venerate and seek to know more about St. Joseph, the guardian of the Holy Family. The revelation is a call for all to prepare themselves to assemble on the Mount Zion before the Lamb of God for His second coming. “Then I looked and there was a lamb standing on the Mount Zion, with Him were one lakh forty-four thousand people who have His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads” (Rev. 14:1). It is not a means of knowledge but a gift of God to bestow grace and blessings upon the reader of the book.

Is this true? Does God really reject us or is it we who reject God? When we have financial concerns and quickly turn to banks and lenders; when we have health problems and we go to doctor after doctor seeking ‘expert opinion’, including from witch doctors; when we have problems with our children and we seek institutions and professional people to deal with them; when we have spiritual problems and yet never visit a chapel! Where is the rejection? You Are Not Rejected attempts to enlighten us on what we can do when faced with such circumstances. In this epic narrative, Fr. Anthony uses examples of true stories from people he has encountered in carrying out his priestly duties. Different topics are discussed, some arising from questions that are frequently asked during counselling sessions. The reader is taken through circumstances that manifest as physical, emotional and spiritual problems that result from separation from God. With separation from God comes separation from others and separation from self, which basically defines the basis for suffering.
