Thomas Cardinal Collins addresses fundamental elements of the life of Christian discipleship reconciliation, eucharist, and stewardship in this collection of three pastoral letters from his tenure as Archbishop of Edmonton. These letters were not intended so much to address urgent current issues of concern as to look reflectively at fundamental elements of the life of Christian discipleship. According to Cardinal Collins, "all three of these topics relate cornerstones of faith not to great moments of commitment or of spiritual exaltation, but to the daily round of the ordinary Christian life: again and again we turn to the sacrament of reconciliation, through which we are purified of our sins, and to the eucharist, through which we encounter our risen Lord, and so are prepared to serve him faithfully as stewards of His gifts."

Written by one of the twentieth-century's foremost modern Trinitarian theologians The Christian Doctrine of God remains a classic ground work for scholars and students alike. In the book Thomas F. Torrance offers a detailed study of the most profound article of the Christian faith - the Holy Trinity. Torrance adopts a holistic approach when examining the inter-relatedness of the three persons - Father, son, and Holy Spirit - and their dynamic Communion with the Being and Nature of God. Combining immense academic range with his characteristically fresh theological perspectives, Torrance builds a significant theological bridge between ancient and modern, as well as between the Roman and Protestant theology; he engages deeply with the Church Fathers and discusses the ontological nature of God. Here Torrance conveys a simple message - the doctrine of the Trinity is the doctrine of God. This Cornerstones edition includes a new introduction written by Professor Paul D. Molnar, in which Molnar sets Torrance's classic work in its modern context and considers how it continues to influence the way we think about the Trinity today.

Knowing God is the first step to loving Him and living for Him. It’s not surprising, then, that one of the greatest callings God has given parents is to teach their children to know Him. But how does that happen? How can parents pass along the knowledge of God that leads to faith to the next generation? For centuries, parents have used the ancient method of learning and reciting questions and answers to teach the core doctrines of the faith. Through a regular rhythm of asking and answering questions about God and His ways, parents can introduce their children to God and help spark a hunger within them to explore the riches of the Scriptures for the rest of their lives. Cornerstones provides parents with two hundred questions and answers about God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, sin, redemption, the church, restoration, and more. Each question and answer is written to make these foundational doctrines accessible for a child. Additional commentary is provided to equip parents to engage in meaningful conversations about God in everyday life.
