Children’s Daily Prayer 2010 - 2011

Mary Caswell Walsh

Children's Daily Prayer is the perfect resource for catechists and Catholic school teachers looking for an easy and meaningful order of prayer to use with students. Teachers have the option of two different prayers. The first is a weekly prayer written specifically about the Gospel Reading from the Sunday Mass. The second is prayer for each day of the school week based on a selected Lectionary Reading appropriate to the liturgical season and the needs of children. In addition to choosing the prayer you will use, teachers now have the option of using a long or short form of the psalms. The standard format of prayer services combined with flexible components make this the perfect resource for both teachers who have daily classes and teachers who only have classes once a week.

Raymond Brown

A decade after the untimely death of renowned Scripture scholar Father Raymond E. Brown, SS, he continues to inspire and inform scholars and preachers, students and pastoral ministers, lay and ordained. It was only days after Father Brown’s death that his final book was published by Liturgical Press. That book, Christ in the Gospels of the Ordinary Sundays, completed his six-volume series on preaching the Scriptures, a series that had begun in the mid-1970s with the publication of his popular An Adult Christ at Christmas. Those six volumes are collected here in one convenient commemorative edition to mark the tenth anniversary of Brown’s death. Brown’s work is left largely untouched, and readers will find that his wisdom is lasting. Yet Brown, being a scholar’s scholar, would recognize the need for some enhancement in a work being republished some thirty years after the first volume appeared. Appropriately, then, this edition contains introductory essays by Brown’s colleagues and friends John R. Donahue, SJ, and Ronald D. Witherup, SS, as well as useful indexes and a bibliography of resources for preaching the word of God in the context of the lectionary. Paper, 456 pp., 6 x 9

Alvin C. Rueter

Making Good Preaching Better explores not the preaching of ethics but the ethics of preaching. Using sound theology and practical insights, this book shows that by putting themselves in the place of the people in the pews, preachers can improve their sermons and make good preaching better more consistently.

Written with the practicing homilist in mind, Making Good Preaching Better helps motivate and sharpen the skills of those in preaching ministry. Laid out as a teaching tool for classroom use, it also makes the work of the homiletic professor easier.

Reverend Rueter explains how the same qualities—visual, oral, cohesive—that make it possible for preachers to remember their sermons also make it possible for parishioners to remember these sermons. He also explores concepts not covered in other homiletics books, such as the legitimate appeal to selfinterest as observed in Jesus, Paul, and Moses, how to deal with "hard," controversial topics, and tips for remembering homilies. Paper, 288 pp., 6 x 9
