The Truth Will Make You Free: The New Evangelization for a Secular Age
Robert F. Leavitt
In this book Fr. Leavitt adopts a different approach to the subject. From Paul VI until Pope Francis, the nature and challenges of modern secularism have become a recurring factor in the agenda of the new evangelization, yet often without historical perspective and philosophical balance.
Few popular works bother to examine in such depth and scope, as this book does, what the history, nature, and implications of the secular age are for revitalizing ministry in an age of optional belief. This book is an indispensable catechism for rethinking our understanding of the secular world in proclaiming the Gospel of Christ.

Pastoral Care and Counselling An Introduction
Philip Browning Helsel
Addresses the critique that pastoral care is indistinguishable from secular psychotherapy by placing a person's relationship to God at the center of pastoral care. Each person is created in the Image of God (dignity) and has a purpose (vocation), but people face social problems such as poverty or discrimination that limit this expression.
This book shows how ministers can caring for systems, arenas such as health care, education, and employment. Even traumatic events such as abuse and suicide are linked with social factors like unemployment, so understanding the impact of systems on pastoral care is an essential part of ministry in the twenty-first century.
This book combines theological reflection, psychological insights, social science research, and accessible case studies to provide an introductory text for seminary students and ministers alike. The book shows how human life is a journey lived out in relationship to God.
