Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Since the release of our first, bestselling Calgary cityguide, many things in the city have changed: it's gotten bigger, faster, and richer. Still filled with strange secrets, this revised and expanded edition of the earlier Calgary: Secrets of the City reveals the whole truth. With stories of notorious figures like the jazz impresario who has had countless run-ins with the law, newly discovered tunnels (and some that are planned for the future), top secret flight experiments, and the go-go club (in which patrons entered by sliding down a tube into the basement), Calgary: The Unknown City brings to light the dark, mysterious corners of life in Cowtown. Also included: True Tales of the Paramedics, crazy roadtrips, weird museums, and an explanation as to why there is no Church of Scientology in Calgary. Two-color throughout, and with hundreds of photographs and illustrations, Calgary: The Unknown City is the perfect guidebook for tourists, newcomers, and long-time Calgarians who want to know more about their city.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The Society of Jesus (a.k.a. the Jesuits) was founded in the 16th century by Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Famous for their practical spirituality and ardent commitment to education, the Jesuits have a reputation as smart people of faith who change lives for the better and make a difference in the world. The traditional wisdom that Jesuits use to help other people in their daily lives-how to make decisions, how to move towards freedom, how to live a spiritual life in the modern world-are easily applied, but not often explained well to the general public. The Jesuit Guide to Everything translates the 500-year-old insights of Saint Ignatius (often called "Ignatian spirituality") for a modern audience, using stories and examples from Martin's 20 years as a Jesuit and from the lives of the great Jesuit saints and spiritual masters. With both humor and substance, Martin delivers a terrific read as he helps readers tackle the big questions of life by sharing the spiritual practices that Jesuits have been applying for 500 years. It's this kind of no nonsense spirituality that explains why Ignatian retreats are the most popular spiritual retreats in both Catholic and Protestant churches around the country.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Between Heaven and Mirth is Father James Martin's bestselling, laugh-out-loud case that joy isn't a distraction from faith -- it's proof of it. For anyone who's ever suspected religion takes itself too seriously, Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author James Martin, S.J. (The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything) makes a warm, witty, and deeply researched argument that humor and laughter sit at the very center of a healthy spiritual life. Drawing on Scripture, the lives of the saints, decades in ministry, and no shortage of good jokes, Martin shows why "holy" and "joyless" were never meant to go together. Inside, readers will discover: Why joy is "the most infallible sign of the presence of God" A surprising, entertaining history of how religion got so gloomy How saints from Thomas More to Philip Neri used humor as a spiritual practice The link between vocation, service, love, and lasting joy Practical ways to bring laughter into prayer, worship, and community Honest answers for readers who feel their faith -- or their life -- just isn't funny right now This book is for Christians, Catholics, and spiritual seekers of every stripe who want a faith that feels alive rather than austere -- clergy and laypeople alike, book clubs exploring Christian living, and anyone drawn to accessible, story-driven spirituality writing. Readers who loved The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, or Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies, will find a kindred spirit here: faith writing that's rigorous about God and unafraid to laugh along the way. Funny, faithful, and quietly profound, Between Heaven and Mirth will change the way you think about God, church, and your own sense of humor -- one good story (and one good laugh) at a time.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Discover how Jesus's final words from the cross reveal a Savior who truly understands every form of human suffering. In these seven intimate meditations -- adapted from his acclaimed Good Friday reflections at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York -- Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author James Martin, SJ, walks readers through Christ's last sayings on the cross, showing how each one speaks directly to a struggle we all recognize: forgiveness, doubt, love, abandonment, pain, disappointment, and surrender. This is Christian spirituality and Bible study at its most accessible and personal -- ideal for Lent, Holy Week, or any season of grief or searching. This book is for: Christians preparing for Lent, Good Friday, or Easter who want a short, powerful devotional Anyone facing grief, doubt, illness, or disappointment and looking for spiritual comfort Small groups, parish study circles, and individuals drawn to Ignatian spirituality Fans of accessible, warm Catholic and Christian nonfiction Rooted in careful Gospel scholarship yet written with warmth, humor, and pastoral wisdom, Fr. Martin makes a compelling case that Jesus's suffering wasn't incidental to his mission -- it's the very thing that makes him able to walk with us in ours. Each chapter pairs Scripture, storytelling, and reflection questions, making this ideal for personal prayer, Lenten study, or shared reading. Readers who loved Martin's own Jesus: A Pilgrimage or Henri Nouwen's The Wounded Healer will find this same blend of scholarly depth and pastoral tenderness -- in a shorter, meditative format perfect for Holy Week. A moving, faith-deepening read for anyone who has ever felt confused, abandoned, or alone.…
