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: Fair. "A treasure.a wise and entertaining book that should appeal to the spiritual pilgrim in all of us, no matter what the faith and no matter whether believer or nonbeliever." - Chicago Tribune The New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage turns his attention to the relationship between LGBT Catholics and the Church in this loving, inclusive, and revolutionary book. A powerful call for tolerance, acceptance, and support--and a reminder of Jesus' message for us to love one another. In this moving and inspiring book, Martin offers a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness. On the day after the Orlando nightclub shooting, James Martin S.J. posted a video on Facebook in which he called for solidarity with our LGBT brothers and sisters. "The largest mass shooting in US history took place at a gay club and the LGBT community has been profoundly affected," he began. He then implored his fellow Catholics--and people everywhere--to "stand not only with the people of Orlando but also with their LGBT brothers and sisters." Father Martin's post went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times. Adapted from an address he gave to New Ways Ministry, a group that ministers to and advocates for LGBT Catholics, Building a Bridge provides a roadmap for repairing and strengthening the bonds that unite all of us as God's children. Martin uses the image of a two-way bridge to enable LGBT Catholics and the Church to come together in a call to end the "us" versus "them" mentality. Turning to the Catechism, he draws on the three criteria at the heart of the Christian ministry--"respect, compassion, and sensitivity"--as a model for how the Catholic Church should relate to the LGBT community. WINNER OF THE LIVING NOW BOOK AWARD IN SOCIAL ACTIVISM/CHARITY.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In Between Heaven and Mirth, James Martin, SJ, assures us that God wants us to experience joy, to cultivate a sense of holy humor, and to laugh at life's absurdities--not to mention our own humanity. Father Martin invites believers to rediscover the importance of humor and laughter in our daily lives and to embrace an essential truth: faith leads to joy. Holy people are joyful people, says Father Martin, offering countless examples of healthy humor and purposeful levity in the stories of biblical heroes and heroines, and in the lives of the saints and the world's great spiritual masters. He shows us how the parables are often the stuff of comedy, and how the gospels reveal Jesus to be a man with a palpable sense of joy and even playfulness. In fact, Father Martin argues compellingly, thinking about a Jesus without a sense of humor may be close to heretical. Drawing on Scripture, sharing anecdotes from his experiences as a lifelong Catholic, a Jesuit for over twenty years, and a priest for more than ten, and including amusing and insightful sidebars, footnotes, and jokes, Father Martin illustrates how joy, humor, and laughter help us to live more spiritual lives, understand ourselves and others better, and more fully appreciate God's presence among us. Practical how-to advice helps us use humor to show our faith, embrace our humanity, put things into perspective, open our minds, speak truth, demonstrate courage, challenge power, learn hospitality, foster effective human relations, deepen our relationship with God, and . enjoy ourselves. Inviting God to lighten our hearts, we can enjoy a little heaven on earth.…

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.
