July The Mysteries of the Rosary An Adult Coloring Book DANIEL MITSUI Foreword by Elizabeth Scalia

Experience spiritual calm with the first adult coloring book to focus on the Rosary as you color and reflect on the traditional Catholic prayer. Renowned artist Daniel Mitsui provides exquisitely detailed illustrations of the Glorious, Joyful, and Sorrowful Mysteries, suitable for meditative coloring and for reflecting on the lives of Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

Adult coloring books were the fastest-growing book category last year, making up five of the top ten bestselling books in 2015. But of the hundreds of coloring books on the market, few reflect Catholic themes.

Just as repetition of the Hail Mary during the Rosary can create a contemplative awareness of its mysteries, careful attention to coloring these captivating illustrations can open your heart to a deeper awareness of the Rosary’s truths. Like the medieval monks who understood their artistic decoration of the gospels as a form of prayer and praise, you’ll find yourself caught up in meditative wonder as you prayerfully color Mitsui’s images.

This unique coloring book contains thirty illustrations—fifteen full-page drawings of the mysteries of the Rosary, each one beautifully bordered by traditional images of animals and flowers; twelve vignettes featuring prophets, evangelists, and Fathers of the Church; and three larger drawings with the artist’s commentary. It also contains descriptive copy written by the author for the three sets of Mysteries.

FEATURES & BENEFITS •

This is the first adult coloring book to draw from the tradition of the medieval illustrated manuscript and to focus on the Rosary.

November Fearless

Conquer Your Demons and Love with Abandon SONJA CORBITT What are the sources of anxiety, stress, and fear you experience in your life? Popular Catholic speaker and author Sonja Corbitt believes that these often-paralyzing emotions are the direct result of our everyday battles against sin and temptation. In Fearless, she equips us with the tools we need to restore our spiritual well-being.

978-1-59471-693-5 · 224 pages · $15.95 On-Sale Date: November 7, 2016 Foreign Rights: World · 5.5” x 8.5” · Paperback Category: Catholicism / Women’s Spirituality Imprint: Ave Maria Press

The term “spiritual warfare” conjures images of heavenly battles between archangels and demons, but Corbitt insists that there is a realm of spiritual warfare that is more domestic than it is cosmic—in the trenches of dirty bathrooms, fighting children, irritable spouses, and overwhelming workloads.

In her new book, the author of Unleashed takes us deep into scripture and the spiritual practices of the Church in order to show us how to resist the avalanche of temptations that can threaten us and lead to paralyzing anxiety and fear. Through her powerful personal story and teaching, Corbitt shows us how to put on the armor of Christ and learn to live fearlessly, love with abandon, and embrace life with confidence.

In Fearless, Corbitt offers scriptural tools that help us conquer the demons of sin, Satan, self, and sloth. She helps us recognize the methods the devil uses to keep us enslaved and she immerses us in a profound contemplation of love, which is the only possible weapon against the spirit of fear.

FEATURES & BENEFITS SONJA CORBITT is a dynamic Catholic author, speaker, and broadcaster who has produced several high-impact, uplifting multimedia Bible studies, including Soul of the World, Fearless, and Ignite. She is the author of Unleashed, which was also featured on CatholicTV as a thirteen-part Bible study series. Corbitt is the host of Pursuing the Summit on Breadbox Media.

October Walk in Her Sandals

Experiencing Christ’s Passion through the Eyes of Women EDITED BY KELLY M. WAHLQUIST Walk in Her Sandals, edited by popular Catholic author and speaker Kelly M. Wahlquist, takes you deeper into your relationship with Jesus by helping you relate to him in a profoundly intimate way.

Looking at six universal gifts of women through the eyes of women in the gospels, the book guides you on a prayerful and creative journey through the days of Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost.

As you imagine the experience of the women who met Jesus, you will discover how each of them expressed one of six, distinctive, feminine gifts identified in the writings of St. John Paul II. Through the eyes of an imagined woman who watched Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, you will understand how she conveyed the gift of receptivity. Through the hands of Veronica, who reached out to wipe the face of Jesus, you will discover how sensitivity is present and can grow in your own life. These gifts, along with generosity, prayer, maternity, and the Holy Spirit, come to life through the vivid portrayal of women who walked with Jesus. Their imagined stories are complemented by the real accounts of contemporary women who share their own stories of receiving and cultivating these gifts.

Walk in Her Sandals is a collaborative effort, edited by Wahlquist with contributions from leading Catholic writers, including Sarah Christmyer, Lisa M. Hendey, and Teresa Tomeo, all of whom are associated with WINE: Women In the New Evangelization. The contributors will help you break open the scripture, reflect upon it, apply it to your own life, and share those insights with others.

“Kelly Wahlquist’s stunning team effort, Walk in Her Sandals, dramatically raises the bar for women’s resources with its innovative approach to exploring feminine gifts as pathways to Christ.”

September Twelve Little Ways to Transform Your Heart Lessons in Holiness and Evangelization from St. Thérèse of Lisieux SUSAN MUTO Foreword by Mike Aquilina

St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s “Little Way” has been embraced by people of all walks of life. In Twelve Little Ways to Transform Your Heart, author Susan Muto explores twelve facets of St. Thérèse’s simple spiritual path as a way to personal holiness and the secret to being a powerful witness to Christ in the world today.

Though she lived only to the age of twenty-four and spent almost her entire life at her family home and in the Carmelite convent, St. Thérèse displayed a love for Jesus and a passion for his gospel that have made her the patroness of the missions.

The “Little Flower’s” humility and childlike trust are still powerful examples of how ordinary people can grow closer to Jesus and respond to Pope Francis’s call for a new evangelization.

With deep insight and warm personal devotion, Susan Muto—renowned speaker and expert on Carmelite spirituality—explains the Little Way and will help you put twelve dimensions of it into practice, drawing others to Christ by living a simple, joyful life.

Muto features short quotations from the saint’s autobiography, poetry, letters, and prayers, as well as perceptive reflection questions and personal prayers to show how imitating Thérèse can make us a powerful force of love..

A Living Mosaic WILLIAM E. SIMON JR. Foreword by Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan What is really happening in the Catholic Church in North America? Are parishes thriving or dying?

In 2012 and 2013, businessman, professor, and philanthropist, William E. Simon and his team at Parish Catalyst studied 244 Catholic parishes to determine what made them exceptional.

Share leadership by using clergy and lay staff with the best talents and skills to direct the community Foster spiritual maturity and plan for discipleship by offering a variety of formation programs and ministry opportunities to reach parishioners at differing points in their lives Excel on Sundays by dedicating significant time, energy, and money to liturgical celebrations that parishioners and visitors find welcoming Intentionally evangelize by challenging insiders to look outward and providing service programs, social events, global mission opportunities, and pastoral care at key sacramental moments

Pastors from exceptional parishes offer helpful ideas, strategic advice, and practical strategies, as well as anecdotes about lay ministry development initiatives and reworking religious education so that it is family focused and web-based.

December 25 Life-Changing Questions from the Gospels

Letting Jesus Lead You through the Stages of Spiritual Growth ALLAN F. WRIGHT There’s nothing quite like a pointed question to elicit an honest answer. Jesus used questions throughout his ministry, not to find out something he didn’t know, but to probe into people’s deepest, most unsettled spaces. Biblical scholar and retreat leader Allan F. Wright organizes twenty-five questions Jesus asked into five spiritual stages that will lead you on the road to discipleship.

ALLAN F. WRIGHT is academic dean for evangelization at St. Paul Inside the Walls, and an adjunct professor of biblical studies at Seton Hall University. He is a Catholic speaker, radio host, and author of eight books. Wright lives in New Jersey.

In Contemplating the Questions of Jesus, you will see that you are no different from those Jesus questioned—a grieving sister, a fearful friend, an incessant doubter. And you’ll learn that his questions—and the issues that they raise—are just as relevant and life-changing to Catholics today as they were to Jesus’ first followers.

Educator and author Allan F. Wright will lead you through five stages of spiritual development—from spiritual seeker to faithful disciple of Christ—so that you can become better able embrace and share the life-giving power Jesus offers. You will come away recognizing Jesus for the wise teacher that he was and as the God who loves you still.

Jennifer Roback Morse and Betsy Kerekes offer inspiration and advice for all stages of your relationship.

With research conducted by the Ruth Institute and almost fifty years of marriage experience between them, authors Morse and Kerekes have compiled their best tips to inspire and support Catholic singles during all stages of dating and engagement.

The hook-up and cohabitating culture is prevalent in our society and in the media, making the temptation to succumb strong. The authors want you to know that you aren’t weak for being interested in these options, but you are strong enough to resist them. You can combat these challenges by recognizing single life and dating as ideal times to discern your own call to the vocation of marriage as well as your dating relationship’s readiness for the sacrament.

Learning to Tell the Stories of Grace That Illumine Our Lives LEONARD J. DELORENZO Ever since St. Augustine’s Confessions, Christians have practiced the art of telling their stories to bring others to faith. Leonard J. DeLorenzo, theology professor and director of Notre Dame Vision, presents seven guiding principles to help you share your faith in a genuine way and teach others to do so as well.

Beginning with the apostles themselves, Catholics often find it difficult to tell their faith stories. DeLorenzo has taught thousands of teens and young adults to relate their moments of grace in a way that is compelling, convincing, and free of clichés and vague generalizations.

His seven guiding principles are: • • • • • • • 978-1-59471-687-4 · 192 pages · $16.95 On-Sale Date: December 5, 2016 Foreign Rights: World · 5.5” x 8.5” Paperback Category: Catholicism / Christian Living Imprint: Ave Maria Press

LEONARD J. DELORENZO teaches theology at the University of Notre Dame, where he also directs Notre Dame Vision, the Notre Dame Catechist Academy, and the Notre Dame Character Project within the Institute for Church Life. He and his wife, Lisa, live in South Bend, Indiana, with their five children.

Tell it as a story Begin with what happened Express it in style Modify it for your audience Ensure there is sufficient closure Embrace natural emotions and Pray and practice

DeLorenzo includes literary examples of writers such as C. S. Lewis and Flannery O’Connor, the conversion stories of St. Paul and St. Augustine, and real-life accounts of grace told by young adults he’s worked with. Their stories are born out of battling an anxiety disorder, struggling with a loved one’s Alzheimer’s disease, and dealing with the effects of alcoholism. DeLorenzo teaches us that by paying close attention to particular aspects of these stories, we can attune ourselves to the surprising and specific ways that grace moved through our experiences.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: •

The author speaks often at conferences such as NCEA and NCCYM and has collaborated with FOCUS, dioceses, parishes, Catholic high schools, college campus ministries, and Newman centers.

September Called to Teach

Daily Inspiration for Catholic Educators JUSTIN MCCLAIN As a Catholic school teacher, you have a special vocation to reach the hearts and minds of young people, even in the midst of never-ending lesson planning, grading papers, and trying to lead a balanced life. Called to Teach, a book of 366 short, thought-provoking reflections, can help you stay focused on your Christ-centered mission by providing a source of energy, renewal, and affirmation for your day.

When you first committed to teach in a Catholic school, you probably had a sense of higher purpose in mind, but now you may wonder how the daily chaos fits into that vocation, whether all students need so much attention and care, and how you can possibly take time for yourself and your family when there’s so much to do.

Justin McClain, a theology and Spanish teacher at Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, Maryland, understands your dilemma. His collection of one-minute daily reflections offers a prayerful opportunity to recapture the joyous expectation Christ has in mind for you.

Each day begins with a scripture passage that sets a theme and provides much-needed encouragement to remind you of the daily gifts present in a Catholic school. McClain helps you take a fresh look at everyday benchmarks of success in lesson planning, classroom prayer, and dealing with difficult theological questions. He also addresses your needs outside the classroom—relaxation and a good night’s sleep, healthy eating habits, continuing education, and more time for prayer.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: •

This is a perfect gift book for teachers in Catholic schools, especially high school.

Mary’s Way

The Power of Entrusting Your Child to God JUDY LANDRIEU KLEIN Foreword by Lisa M. Hendey In this heartfelt book for moms who struggle to guide children through the various stages of their lives, Catholic speaker and teacher Judy Landrieu Klein shows how her own crisis of faith helped her release her children to the care of the Blessed Mother. In doing so, Klein shows you how to find the love, joy, and peace of Our Lord as you surrender your will to him.

Klein struggled with her faith as she lived through her son’s near-fatal addiction to drugs and her daughter’s painful anxiety. She discovered she couldn’t handle the relentless pressure of life not measuring up to her expectations and it was eating away at her family.

Klein considered Mary’s reaction to the events in the life of Jesus. She meditated on Mary’s fiat and her prayer of total surrender to God’s will and saw how this act of obedience carried on throughout Mary’s life as she witnessed the life of her son.

As Klein focused on her devotion to the Blessed Mother, her life and faith were transformed.

Klein shows how you can become a more powerful intercessor for yourself and your children. When you finish reading this book, you’ll find yourself turning to Mary and surrendering yourself and your children more fully to God.

October The Best Is Yet to Come

Living Fully in Each Moment ANNE BRYAN SMOLLIN Foreword by Sr. Patricia A. St. John, C.S.J. Sr. Anne Bryan Smollin (1943–2014) was a beloved storyteller with an unforgettable sense of humor. In her final book, The Best Is Yet to Come, Smollin—the author of five books, a gifted motivational speaker, and a trusted counselor—warmly encourages readers to live each moment fully, to discover the sacred in the ordinary, and to remember that the best is yet to come, affirming Christian hope.

In what was to be the last chapter of the book, Sr. Anne hoped to tell the story of a woman who wanted to be buried with a fork in her hand. The woman told her husband that at the many potluck church dinners she attended, she was always told to hold onto her fork after the main dish because there was still one more course—dessert. The best was yet to come!

Sr. Anne possessed an uncanny gift to inject new life into simple lessons such as “life is a precious gift,” “don’t take yourself too seriously,” and “little things mean a lot.” She reminds us that no matter how difficult some moments in life can be, the best is yet to come.

The book was written just before Sr. Anne’s untimely death and is being published posthumously in honor of her work and inspiration. Lifelong friend Sr. Patricia St. John, C.S.J., put the finishing touches on this manuscript. In her foreword, Sr. Patti recalls some of Sr. Anne’s personal qualities—her wideopen heart to anyone in need, her delight in simple things, her ability to lovingly focus on each person she met—the same qualities she imparts as you read this book.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: •

Proceeds of this book, published in Sr. Anne’s honor, go to her religious order, the Sisters of St. Joseph.

“Sr. Anne Bryan Smollin was one of the most joyful and effective communicators of the Gospel that I have ever met. Her new book is a heartfelt reminder to seek holiness in the everyday and joy in every moment.”

October Particles of Faith

A Catholic Guide to Navigating Science STACY A. TRASANCOS What is the origin of life? Hasn’t the Catholic Church always been hostile to science? Can a Christian accept the scientific theory of evolution?

How can you, as a Catholic, explain what the Church teaches about the relationship between science and faith? Scientist, writer, and scholar Stacy Trasancos gives us ways we can talk about how science and our Catholic faith work together to reveal the truth of Christ through the beauty of his creation.

As a scientist who was led to Catholicism through her work, Stacy Trasancos has confronted some of the basic questions we all face. In Particles of Faith, she teaches us how to explain the symbiotic beauty between our curiosity expressed through science and our love of Christ and his Church.

Trasancos uses her own story, was well as encyclicals such as Pope Francis’s Lumen Fidei, the deep reflections of theologians such as St. Thomas Aquinas, and the exacting work of Catholic scientists like Rev. Georges Lemaître (who proposed the game-changing Big Bang theory), to show how science and faith are interwoven and meant to guide us on the path to truth.

By the time you finish reading Particles of Faith, you’ll be able to answer questions about, generate discussion on, and explain why science helps deepen your faith.

December Thérèse

DOROTHY DAY Foreword by Robert Ellsberg Afterword by John C. Cavadini Dorothy Day’s unpretentious account of the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux sheds light on the depth of Day’s Catholic spirituality and illustrates why Thérèse’s simplicity and humility are so vital for today. Whether you are called to the active life like Day or a more hidden existence like Thérèse, you will discover that these paths have much in common and can lead you to a love that has the power to transform you in unexpected ways.

Now back in print, this short biography of St. Thérèse expresses the surprising yet profound connection between Day—the founder of the Catholic Worker movement who was praised by Pope Francis for her passion for justice and dedication to her faith—and the beloved saint best known for her Little Way. When Day first read St. Thérèse’s autobiography, The Story of a Soul in 1928, she called it “pious pap.” At the time, Day had only recently been baptized a Catholic. Twenty-five years later, Day’s perspective on Thérèse had so completely changed that she was inspired to write this biography.

Written originally for nonbelievers or those unaware of Thérèse, the book reflects how Day came to appreciate Thérèse’s Little Way, not as an abstract concept, but as a spirituality that she had already been living. Day’s life, like Thérèse’s, was filled with all the humble, self-effacing jobs that were a part of her work with the Catholic Worker. She found in Thérèse a kindred spirit, one who saw these simple hidden tasks as the way to heaven.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: •

Dorothy Day’s cause for canonization moved forward in April 2016 when Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan opened an inquiry of her life.

“Dorothy Day’s mature assimilation of Thérèse of Lisieux’s spirituality is a vital legacy for the Catholic Worker Movement and for anyone whose life is dedicated to working for peace and justice.”

November Confessions of a Convert

The Classic Spiritual Autobiography from the Author of Lord of the World ROBERT HUGH BENSON Foreword by Dawn Eden Mentioned by Pope Francis as a writer that everyone should read, Robert Hugh Benson, author of Lord of the World, shares his spiritual journey from being an Anglican and son of the archbishop of Canterbury to becoming a Roman Catholic priest.

Through his humble, honest, and memorable story, Benson invites us—in this republished classic—to think about what it means to wrestle with the deep questions of our Catholic faith while rejoicing in the power of their universal truths.

ROBERT HUGH BENSON (1871–1914) was an English Anglican priest who joined the Roman Catholic Church in 1903 and was ordained a Catholic priest in 1904. He was lauded in his own day as one of the leading figures in English literature and was the author of many novels and apologetic works.

AUTHOR’S OTHER TITLE Lord of the World ISBN: 978-0-87061-298-5, $14.95

In 1907, The Ave Maria magazine published well-known English novelist Robert Hugh Benson’s conversion story.

He began the first of eight installments with a statement that captures the perils and joys faced by converts as they attempt to “cross the Tiber.” “When one stands at last upon high ground, it is extraordinarily difficult to trace the road by which one has approached: it winds, rises, falls, broadens and narrows until the mind is bewildered.”

Benson weaves those challenges into the narrative as he examines his own life for the signs and wonders that illuminated his way.

Benson’s humor and humility help bridge the century-long gap between his time and ours and he teaches us to embrace the questions, struggles, and falterings of our faith in a way that’s full of God’s love.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: •

In the tradition of Cardinal John Henry Newman’s classic spiritual autobiography, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, this book will be popular with the apologetics market.

“Benson shows himself an ideal foxhole companion for the believer engaged in today’s spiritual battles.”

Mission Statement

Founded in 1865 at Notre Dame, Indiana, Ave Maria Press, a ministry of the Congregation of Holy Cross, is a Catholic publishing company that serves the spiritual and formative needs of the Church and its schools, institutions, and ministers; Christian individuals and families; and others seeking spiritual nourishment.

In the tradition of Holy Cross, we are committed, as educators in the faith, to helping people know, love, and serve God and to spreading the gospel of Jesus through books and other resources.
