 Disorientation: How to Go to College Without Losing Your Mind
John Zmirak(Ed.)
Retail Price: $12.99
CBD Price: $9.99
( Available to ship on or about 06/21/13. )
Excerpt
Many of our young people will fall prey to one or more of the dominant ideologies engrained in their college education, ideologies that can lead them away from the Church and, ultimately, their faith in God. Students who are not taught how to think critically or who lack the tools needed to sift through the logic of these positions are easily swayed by the smooth sophistry of the intellectual elite. For this reason, twelve of the top Catholic writers in America-professors, priests, journalists, philosophers, and theologians-have come together to dissect the trendy ideas that can lead young Catholics away from the Church. Disorientation is intellectual ammunition for every college student and parent, as it breaks down the history, analyzes the appeal, and debunks the empty promises of such wildly popular errors.

 Theology of His/Her Body(Two Books in One Volume)
Jason Evert
Retail Price: $11.99
CBD Price: $8.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
From Genesis we know that God created men and women in His image and likeness, and from the first letter of John that "God is love". Therefore men and women are made in the image and likeness of Love. This isn't hard to see. Look at the design of the male and female bodies. They are made for each other. In fact, neither makes complete sense apart from the other. The man's body is made for a woman's body - made to be a life-giving gift to her; her body reveals his calling - and vice versa. In this book - which utilizes a dynamic, "flip" book design to be "two books in one" well-known chastity speaker and author Jason Evert unpacks the mystery of what is means to be male and female in light of the Theology of the Body in a language teenagers understand. Teens will learn about the profound realities to which their bodies point - and how to live chastely and lovingly towards those of the opposite sex.

 Teens and Spirituality
Jerry Shepherd
Retail Price: $8.50
CBD Price: $7.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
For many teenagers, it is simply not cool to show interest in organized religion. Though many teens are interested in spiritual matters, they often believe that religion is something that's not quite real--at least, it's not as real as everyday experiences like family, friends, foes, school, parties, love, hate, anger, desire, and frustration. This book and series are about religion for teenagers by a non-teenager, so most teenagers will be immediately suspicious. But the Being Real series shows how Catholicism recognizes the realities of teenage life and calls teenagers to a higher ideal amidst those realities. It provides a perspective that is both realistic and idealistic at the same time. It is also a perspective that satisfies the best of our human and spiritual desires and meets our deepest needs. The key to this vision of life is a real person: Jesus Christ. The author presents the Church as the continuing visible presence of Christ, the most real of people, the pattern and power of all "being real." He shows that Christ challenges teens today, as he once challenged his followers in Galilee, to became more real.

 Prayers Before an Awesome God: The Psalms for Teenagers
David Haas
Retail Price: $9.50
CBD Price: $8.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
"One of the wonderful things about the Psalms is that they represent every possible human situation. You will find ways to express joy, excitement, hope, contentment, peace, and confidence. And many of the Psalms give us a way to voice our loneliness, sadness, pain, anger, even rage. God wants to hear from us, everything that happens to us, everything we are going through. In this version I have tried to find some new ways to say the same things that the original Psalm writers tried to express." -- David Haas. This paraphrase of the Psalms is styled in the form of prayers to help understand and express what is happening in us and around us.
