America today is different in kind, not just in degree, from the past. And this new reality is unlikely to be reversed. The reasons include, but aren't limited to, economic changes that widen the gulf between rich and poor; problems in the content and execution of the education system; the decline of traditional religious belief among young people; the shift from organized religion among adults to unbelief or individualized spiritualities; changes in legal theory and erosion in respect for civil and natural law; significant demographic shifts; profound new patterns in sexual behavior and identity; the growth of federal power and its disregard for religious rights; the growing isolation and elitism of the leadership classes; and the decline of a sustaining sense of family and community.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577549136145,"sku":"GOR009747552","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49711425519889,"sku":"CIN1627796746G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50753648034065,"sku":"CIN1627796746VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1627796746.jpg?v=1751057371"},{"product_id":"strangers-in-a-strange-land-book-charles-j-chaput-9781250159625","title":"Strangers in a Strange Land","description":"A vivid critique of American life today, but also an empowering guide to how Christians - and particularly Catholics - can live their faith vigorously, with confidence and hope, in a post-Christian public square.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49728918487313,"sku":"CIN1250159628G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50985796501777,"sku":"NIN9781250159625","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51830215344401,"sku":"CIN1250159628A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52458858578193,"sku":"CIN1250159628VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52473785221393,"sku":"NLS9781250159625","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52635352138001,"sku":"GOR014572995","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1250159628.jpg?v=1750953371"},{"product_id":"living-miracles-book-charles-j-chaput-9781933271279","title":"Living Miracles","description":"Pope John Paul II worked many miracles while still on earth... Ask a priest who was ordained during the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, How did you come to know God was calling you? Chances are, the answer will have something to do with John Paul himself. Living Miracles tells the true stories of some of these spiritual sons of John Paul. You'll meet a priest who underwent a second conversion after concelebrating Mass with the Pope. Another who had his first life-changing brush with spiritual greatness when Cardinal Karol Wojtyla went kayaking on a modest Michigan lake. And one who knew he was called to the Catholic priesthood when, through the confusion of a teeming crowd, a remarkably peaceful Pope John Paul met his gaze and held it. These stories are sure to excite and reassure every Catholic who prays for the JP2 priests in our midst - while praying for their example to inspire a new crop of great men to heroic lives of joyful sacrifice and service. The book includes reflections from Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Houston, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver, and Bishop Peter Jugis of Charlotte, North Carolina. Priests profiled include Fr. Ed Kelly (Archdiocese of Philadelphia, PA), Fr. Peter Mitchell (Diocese of Lincoln, NE), Fr. Gary Dailey (Diocese of Springfield, MA), Fr. David Toups (Associate Director, Secretariat of Clergy, Consecrated Life, and Vocations at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, D.C), Fr. Leonard Reisz (Diocese of Owensboro, KY), Fr. Jay Toborowsky (Diocese of Metuchen, NJ), Fr. Alvaro Corcuera (General Director of the Legion of Christ, Rome, Italy), Fr. Stephen Savel (Diocese of London, Ontario, Canada), Fr.

Chaput traces human history from ancient times to today to find threads of connection in our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He looks at our modern age of consumption and individualism and offers a penetrating analysis of how we got here, and how we can look to our roots and our faith to find meaning each day amid the noise of competing desires.  Chaput debunks the myth of the selfish gene, showing how society has always been structured around the family and that the love we have for our kin has not changed. He points to our longing to die heroically as part of our hunger for war, and shows that an honorable death is not one of violence but one of faith, love for God, and service to others.  Ultimately, he concludes, the things worth dying for are the things worth living for.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49796194304273,"sku":"CIN1250239788G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50151348732177,"sku":"GOR012233656","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50220772819217,"sku":"CIN1250239788VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51160020746513,"sku":"CIN1250239788A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1250239788.jpg?v=1750920272"},{"product_id":"render-unto-caesar-book-charles-j-chaput-9780385522298","title":"Render Unto Caesar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eOfficeUS Agenda\u003c\/i\u003e, the catalogue for the U.S. Pavilion, serves simultaneously as a guide and counterpoint to the exhibition. Organized into stories of expertise, exchange, and export, the \u003ci\u003eAgenda\u003c\/i\u003e frames the narratives that have projected the organizational structures and branded identity of U.S. architecture firms internationally from 1914-2014. The \u003ci\u003eAgenda\u003c\/i\u003e includes thirteen essays of original scholarship, including Barry Bergdoll, Beatriz Colomina, Jorge Otero-Pailos and Keller Easterling. OfficeUS, the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, reframes the history of U.S. architecture through the lens of export in two interrelated constructs: The Office and The Repository. The Repository presents 1000 projects designed by 200 US offices working abroad in a chronological archive of the last 100 years. Collectively these projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of U.S. firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. The Office engages these projects, revisiting their premises and conclusions over the course of the Biennale. It functions as a laboratory staffed by a diverse group of resident design partners collaborating with outpost offices and a rotating cast of visiting experts. Together, these two halves of OfficeUS create both an historical record of the U.S. contribution to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption and critique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50099943506193,"sku":"CIN0385522290VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50123880104209,"sku":"CIN0385522290G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51438251475217,"sku":"GOR009030422","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385522290.jpg?v=1751292410"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-charles-j-chaput.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
