Joseph. Every Christian knows the name. We know who he was, but what do we really know about him? For most of us, the answer is, “Not much.” Now, in these highly intimate, insightful, easy-to-read meditations, the late, noted Scripture scholar Fr. Richard Gilsdorf investigates the New Testament’s most mysterious figure. He opens up for us the Church’s greatest male saint in new and exciting ways, drawing believers deeper into the Gospels. Reading this contemplative book is like going on retreat, perfect for personal devotions, study groups, or adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.

Behold Your Mother
Heidi Hess Saxton
Paperback, 80 pp., $9.99
Bezalel Books (February 20, 2008)

When she converted to Catholicism, Saxton found it difficult to “get close to Mary.” This difficulty resolved itself over time, but she never completely understood her own reluctance until she became a foster parent and experienced the children’s resistance to her parenting efforts. Behold Your Mother contains three short stories from the author’s life that illustrate Mary’s “spiritual motherhood”; then a series of forty-eight short reflections based on Scripture. This is a second, expanded edition of Saxton’s book With Mary in Prayer.
