Veritas Publications In a Landscape Redrawn
The core tenets of Christianity point towards the deep truth about ourselves, the truth that sets us free. In In a Landscape Redrawn, Bishop Donal Murray examines the place of faith in a world that increasingly views religious belief as antiquated and ‘doomed to extinction’. Rather than becoming despondent about the future of our faith, Bishop Murray encourages us to reassess our deeply personal relationship with God and to take consolation in the Good News of Christ. By first exploring what it means to be human, and then considering how Christianity illuminates our humanity, this book highlights how a profound respect for Gospel values can improve all facets of life both in the personal and the public spheres.

‘The Joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.’ - Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium What if believers were to live in the contemporary world as people who hear the Word of God ‘in the deep heart’s core’?

Veritas Publications Only Love Breaks Open the Tombs
As an Assumptionist priest and chaplain working in the Hautepierre Hospital in Strasbourg, Denis Ledogar has spent much of his life comforting, consoling and learning from those in the last stages of life and from their families. In Only Love Breaks Open the Tombs, he brings together the testimonies of patients he has encountered who candidly share their thoughts on life, loss and family as they contend with failing health and the spectre of mortality. The goal of this book is to address ‘the delicate subject of the accompaniment of the human being at the end of life’ and is centred on ‘seven stages’ which the author has witnessed in those approaching death. This moving account of one man’s experience offering pastoral care to the terminally ill not only demonstrates how a patient’s final days can be lived with dignity and meaning but how, in ministering to those who are ill, we demonstrate that it is only love that ‘breaks open the tombs’.
