by Michael Morwood
This volume asks: is God localized somewhere above, looking down on humanity; did God lock humanity out of heaven; did Jesus "come down" from Heaven to save humanity; are human beings the cause of death and disaster on this planet? These and similar questions challenge an outdated world view that has influenced people's images and ideas of God to the present day. The book tries to bridge the gap between Church doctrine and the essential Gospel message that is the Christian legacy.

Starting with a very personal story of the author's sister being left a quadriplegic from a car accident twenty years ago, 'Where the Hell is God?' gently leads the reader through "take home" messages that are sane, sound, and practical. Among these messages are: God does not directly send pain, suffering, and disease; God does not punish us; God does not send accidents to teach us things, though we can learn from them; and God does not will earthquakes, floods, droughts, or other natural disasters.
by Fr Richard Leonard
This accessible volume is less about how to pray, and more about why we pray and what it does for us, for God and for the world. The author explores the context within which we pray, what is distinctive about Christian prayer, praying to Jesus, what communal prayers do, how Mary and the Saints help us pray, and finally, what the point of prayer is - sending us out with Christ to witness to the reign of God in our world.

Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus' best-known parable, is also his least understood. He introduces the reader to all the characters in this timeless story, showing that it concerns not just a wayward son, but also a judgemental older brother and, most importantly, a loving father.
