Many years ago, Pope St. John Paul II said, "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced...the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously..." In this booklet, Ralph Martin takes a look at what Scripture says about the final confrontation and the work of the Evil One. He exposes the lies of the enemy and the truth about Divine Mercy.  He also identifies what we must do to face the present trials with courage.

Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth is compiled by Catholic Answers.  Over five MILLION copies are in print!  Jesus established the Catholic Church especially for you.  He set it up as your spiritual home, he provided it with everything you nedd, and he wants you in it.  The Catholic Church guides you as the the pillar of fire guided the Israelites when they escaped from bondage.  They had a guide they could trust, and now so do you.  Your guide is trustworthy because it teaches as Jesus taught.  This is why the Bible calls the Catholic Church the "pillar and foundation of truth."  Jesus has a special plan for you, one he wants you to perform through his Church.  This booklet explains Jesus' plan and how you can know the Catholic Church is where you belong.

Our God is a God of mercy: ever ready to love, forgive, and embrace us as his sons and daughters. Yet some of the Bible’s teachings on sexual morality can seem harsh and discriminatory. How can biblical teaching about homosexuality, especially, be compatible with the loving mercy of God?

Some people answer that question by dismissing such teachings as outdated—even embarrassing. Surely the ancient Levitical laws, or the letters of St. Paul, merely reflected the prejudices of their time and place?

In Scripture, Mercy, and Homosexuality, Mary Healy explores all those passages and more in light of the revelation of God’s mercy. She provides a scholarly yet readable explanation of how Scripture actually offers a fully harmonious message about God’s plan for human love and happiness, and shows how the Bible can help us fulfill our call to be the face of God’s mercy to all.
