However, opinions vary, sometimes sharply, about the implications of Vatican II. This volume explores the major flashpoints.

What is Mary's heart really like?
The first thing I did when Matthew Kelly asked me to write this book was to prayerfully ask Mary to reveal herself to me. What was her heart really like? How did she love? What did she want me to learn?

Second Corinthians is often regarded as the most personal of Paul's letters. In this letter, Paul more than once fiercely counters the attacks of his opponents. He extensively describes both the quality and circumstances of his apostolic existence: the sufferings he endures, the opposition he encounters, and his continual care for the churches. Second Corinthians is, therefore, highly significant theologically as well as autobiographically. This letter...
