Never Feel Old Again provides a fundamental understanding of why we experience accelerated aging and teaches readers to look and feel their best and be healthy at any age.

Claire Reid

Our definition of love relationships and couples are in deep transformations. The expectations from modern men and women seem very different from those of the earlier generations. Shaken by the winds of feminism and the quiet revolution, the model of the couple as founded on social necessities and sexual roles is slowly dying. With an increasing number of divorces and separations, a greater sexual freedom, a fear of commitment and new models of relationships, our expectations from the couple have changed and become more complex. We want independence but support, freedom but security. To answer these new demands, a new model of the couple must be created.

Jeanne Dugos of Acadia

Cassie Devaux Cohoon

272pages June 2013

Born of Acadian parents at Louisbourg, Jeanne Dugas (1731-1817) and her husband Pierre Bois were among the founding families of the Acadian village of Chticamp in 1785. Her family lived for more than thirty years under the threat of capture and deportation by the British militia and attacks by pirates and privateers. In this historical fiction, we follow Jeanne Dugass trials and tribulations from Louisbourg to Restigouche (NB) and back again. Finally captured by the British militia, she and her family were imprisoned for three years on Georges Island, where three of her four children died. When released, they sought refuge on le Madame (Cape Breton) and finally to the area now known as Chticamp. In many ways, the story of Jeanne Dugas and her family is the story of the Acadians.

Other good news: we can all, employees and leaders, prevent, avoid and ban Flesh-eaters from our lives. We can even change them.

Decisions, decisions, decisions! The world, our livesevery day is full of them. Big or little, major or minor, we are constantly choosing between paths. But have you ever thought about how that happens? More importantly, have you ever impulsively made a decision that turned out not to be in your best moral or spiritual interests? Overall, are you sure that the decisions youre making are helping you get closer to Gods desire for your life? In Discovering Your Dream, Gerald Fagin, SJ, uses St. Ignatiuss principles of the Spiritual Exercises, coupled with an Ignatian approach to decision making, to guide us through a discernment process that truly satisfies our deepest desires and brings us closer to God. 184 pages October 2013 Chris Lowney Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads gives a first-hand picture of Jesuit-trained Pope Francis from those who knew him well: fellow Jesuits who lived with him, ate with him, prayed with him, saw him off stage.

The Thorny Grace of It

144 pages October 2013 Brian Doyle When lethargy, stereotypes, and quasi-despair get in the way of the holy exuberance of a lived faith, the spirit and passion of the faithful can slowly wither away. Noted essayist Brian Doyle understands this well, and his deep desire is to get Catholics excited about their faith once againreminding them that the heartbeat of Catholicism is found not under priestly robes or in papal decrees, but in parish halls and at football stadiums, at breakfast tables and on city buses. Doyles trademark candor, wit, and humor make this collection of more than 40 essays eminently enjoyable to read. From preparing for his First Confession by creating a fake laundry list of sins, to pondering his friends surprising success with Catholic Golf Digest, Doyles passionate writing is as likely to make us shed a tear as it is to make us laugh out loud and proves that, far from being extinguished, the Catholic faith imperfect as it isis wildly aflame in hearts and lives everywhere!
