Murray's analysis highlights that while Christianity is under siege in the modern world, our Faith teaches us to have confidence in God's never-failing providence. Renewing our minds and hearts in the truths that Christ and His Church teaches us brings true peace of soul. Amidst the maelstrom of doctrinal confusion and worldliness in the Church, Christ alone calms the storm when, like the Apostles, we turn to him in confidence and faith.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159432487193,"sku":"CTSN","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/files\/calmingthestorm.jpg?v=1686105183"},{"product_id":"to-die-is-gain","title":"To Die Is Gain","description":"","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159436222745,"sku":"TDIG","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/products\/noimage1_10ed1c74-7056-41e2-9b00-b1e01324e333.jpg?v=1683214496"},{"product_id":"j-the-old-testament-ro","title":"Jesus \u0026 the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood","description":"","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159453786393,"sku":"JOTR","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/products\/noimage1_65456619-35fe-4696-bd70-747b1a6d6c0b.jpg?v=1683214824"},{"product_id":"lepantos-lady","title":"Lepanto's Lady","description":"","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159453917465,"sku":"LPL","price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/products\/noimage1_6332ce9f-169c-456d-bbea-51a38e3877f0.jpg?v=1683214828"},{"product_id":"hauntings-possessions-and-e","title":"Hauntings, Possessions and Exorcisms","description":"","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159466467609,"sku":"HPE","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/products\/noimage1_e27cf9b5-1388-4ef9-8b96-dcf38595911e.jpg?v=1683215013"},{"product_id":"graced-and-gifted-emmaus-r","title":"Graced and Gifted - Emmaus Rd","description":"","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159485374745,"sku":"GAG-ER","price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/products\/12388685-L.jpg?v=1685623404"},{"product_id":"j-i-trust-in-you-30-d-re","title":"Jesus I trust in You 30 Day Retreat","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe were made for love, and love requires trust.

Brian Gail takes us out into the trenches and shows what life was like for Catholics good and bad during this critical time. This book is a great opportunity for Catholics to take hold of who they really are. Meticulously researched, brilliantly crafted, Fatherless takes the reader on an unforgettable journey inside Fortune 500 boardrooms and Madison Avenue screening rooms, behind one-way mirrors in America's heartland and two-way screens in church confessionals, to the very peak of Ireland's highest mountain and inside the papal dining room of John Paul II in Rome. It is the searing journey to the center of conscience, however, that marks Fatherless as the signature Catholic novel of its generation. In its pages we meet flesh and blood characters - noble and flawed, driven and seeking; each struggling to achieve the American Dream ... discovering instead a uniquely American nightmare. How each confronts the reality of ethical and moral dilemmas - while struggling to balance faith, family, and career - goes to the very heart of the Catholic experience in America in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
