NEW TITLES

  Mary in the Missionary Outlook of Saint Eugene De Mazenod and in the oblate Mission in Srilanka

Fr. R. Mariyanayagam. Bangalore : US, pp. 286.

This Book shows the relevance of Marian devotion in the new millennium in the present day context of evangelization in Sri Lanka. The Author has also made some suggestions in this work for the renewal of Marian devotion so as to highlight the message of Christ on every occasion. The work is a valuable contribution to know about the past and it gives a fair direction to the present day Church in Sri Lanka with respect to evangelization.

  Spirituality of Liberation and Consecrate Life in the Indian Context

Fr. Philip M. Mundapuzha S.G. Bangalore : US, pp. 281.

The author traces out the distinctive character of consecrated religious life primarily as a spirituality of commitment of human liberation and justice to the downtrodden and oppressed sections of society. He argues for a new liberative spirituality of commitment in religious life in this country and describes the salient features of the same. The book is a significant and erudite contribu­tion to the literature on the spirituality of religious life.

  Religious Community: From Divine Self-gift to Communities of True Friends

Dr. Antony Mookenthottam msfs. Bangalore: SFS, ATC, pp.70.

Defining a religious community in terms of the eternal divine self-gift and vision, Dr. Antony Mookenthottam MSFS, a reputed indologist, spiritual writer and an authority on St. Francis de Sales, highlights in a simple style, but with remarkable deftness, the salient features of a religious community. Rightly understood and lived, a religious community should be able to mould a single movement towards "the other" out of the many natural human tendencies to "one's-own-self'. Only then the many individual selves can make a community of true friends.

  Enter the Ark

Fr. James Manjackal, msfs. Bangalore : SFS, pp. 91.

In this book "Enter the Ark" Fr. James, with a solid scriptural basis and his own personal experiences, is trying to lead the readers to a living experience of Christ and to an authentic Christian life.

  Eureka

Fr. James Manjackal. Bangalore : SFS, pp. 235.

In this book Eureka, he writes a systematic pneumatology from the Holy Scripture with his lively and interesting experiences and testimonies from 25 years of preaching. The reader will have a filling in the Spirit rather than a filling in the intellect when one has finished reading this book.
