In the late 1800s, discrimination against American Catholics was widespread. Called to action in 1882, Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that helped to save countless families. It has since grown to an international membership of 1, 7 million men. At heart, though. Father McGivney was never anything more than an American parish priest, and nothing less than that, either.

In an incredible work of academic research, Douglas Brinkley and Julie M, Fenster re-create the life of Father McGivney, a fiercely dynamic and yet tenderhearted man. Moving and inspirational, the Parish Priest audio books chronicles the process of canonization that may well make Father McGivney the first American-born parish priest to be declared a saint by the Vatican.

The Changed Life

Gods supreme gift to mankind is love.

Of all the books that have been written about love, perhaps none have been as influential
and inspirational as The Greatest Thing in the World. Based on the 13th chapter of I
Corinthians, this classic message has directed millions of people to the way of 1 happiness.
Henry Drummond examines Pauls contrasts, analysis, and defense of love to point out that
the greatest gift from God is love. He shows that not only is living a life of love its own reward,
but that it is Gods ultimate test of our faith. The simple beauty and positive truths of this
dynamic sermon will encourage you to practice the power and blessing of love in every area
of your life.
