The Art of Loving
by Chiara Lubich
In disarmingly simple down-to-earth language
Chiara Lubich draws her
readers into the very heart of evangelical love and gently
challenges them to start living it. She never tires of repeating
the ideas that shine through each of the texts collected
in this volume. Even to the last, she urged those around
her to spread the Gospel message of unity and peace to all.
The few simple phrases that make up her Art of Loving, drawn
from the
Gospels, disclose the secret of human fulfillment found
in divine love: “Love everyone,” “Be the
first to love.”
Price: 315 pesos

In My Neighbor, God
by Chiara Lubich
The wisdom of this collection is remarkable. It is mystical and practical at the same time. Lubich says, "We can't go to God alone, but we must go to him with our brothers and sisters, since he is the Father of us all." Bill Hartnett's foreword sets up the book beautifully, noting that each aspect of the spirituality of unity insists upon the presence of our neighbor.
The neighbor is never an obstacle between the twosome of me and God but a sacred "archway" through whom I come into God's presence, and through whom God comes to me. Indeed, the neighbor is a necessity if we are to have mutual love, the profound love that is receptive to the grace of unity.

When The Word Becomes Life
by
Chiara Lubich
This book offers readers a glimpse of the
soul of Chiara Lubich, who gave life to a worldwide Movement
of men, women, and children from all walks of life - people
who have come together in living the Gospel. Chiara’s
language is spiritual, at times mystical, but always practical.
These short reflections lead the reader into the very heart
of the Good News, to the discovery of that Light which is
ever ancient, ever new – the Light and beauty that
Chiara discovered shining beneath every word of the Gospel:
Jesus, the Word, the Light for every person who comes into
this world.
Price: 125 pesos

"All was well between us until my husband got sick, progressively closing himself off to others. But more than that, what saddens me is the fact that he often becomes aggressive and insults me verbally. I am becoming disillusioned because I have believed so much in this relationship. At times I am so overcome by physical and psychological tiredness that my life becomes burdensome and meaningless. I try as much as possible to stay away from home, but the problem returns as soon I am back with him…" (DSC)
"I have been a passionate fantasy books reader like of Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia. Moreover, I’m starting to write a fantasy novel myself, where there are alternating moments of conflict and of good relationships, and times in which the protagonists make mistakes, but then they try to rise up again. Do you think it’s wrong to write a book with passages that deal with magic and the supernatural, and which is at odds with religious teachings, even if the story as a whole is a journey of purification and inner improvement? (A passionate fantasy lover)"
