Fr. Dwight Longenecker asks, ìAre you disturbed by the state of our world?î For most of us the answer is ìyes.î The news reports fuel this dread. We see and hear the horrors of terrorism and war, crime, corruption, rage, violence, inequality, poverty, and attacks on human dignity at every level. We are in a war with evil. Itís real, and itís personal. Here is your weapon, and here is a warrior to fight beside you. In this book youíll learn to pray the Rosary in a whole new way, battling with Mary as you pray the 20 mysteries. Each mystery is aligned with a particular evil, helping you focus on everything from abortion, murder, and genocide, to materialism, illness, and disease, to pollution, corruption, and abuse of the poor. Through Scripture, reflection, and ten positive things to pray for in each of the mysteries, youíll gain a vision for how the demonic evils can be trampled down through prayer and action. With Praying the Rosary for Spiritual Warfare, youíll be answering St. Paulís battle cry: ìPut on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the cunning schemes of the devil.î

“A tireless communicator of the gospel…[Teresa of Ávila] opens new horizons for us, she calls us to a great undertaking, to see the world with the eyes of Christ, to seek what He seeks and to love what He loves.” —Pope Francis Although Teresa of Ávila lived five centuries ago, her superbly inspiring classic on the practice of prayer is as fresh and meaningful today as it was when she first wrote it. Teresa’s strong desire throughout is to lead readers into a deeper and prevailing life of prayer. She begins with a treatment of the three essentials of the prayer-filled life—fraternal love, detachment from created things, and authentic humility. Building on that foundation, she then teaches on the cherished practices of prayer and contemplation. Finally, she provides a detailed and moving discourse on the Lord’s Prayer. Experience the fervent devotion of St. Teresa, and allow her to help you explore the rewarding discipline of contemplative prayer.
