Mind over Matter: How Spirituality Changes Lives
Mind over Matter is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring how spirituality changes lives in a variety of ways. Unlike much philosophically rooted literature on spirituality, it encourages an understanding of what can be achieved through faith, belief, and self-confidence, without reliance on specific (or, necessarily, any) religious doctrines or views. From theistic, non-theistic, or atheistic perspectives each chapter addresses a distinctive phenomenon, for example, spirituality and healing, spirituality and art, spirituality and running, and spirituality as a response to disaster. Not only do they integrate the results of scientific research and other intellectual investigations to illuminate accomplishments, and sometimes possible sources of failure, but they are also written by academics with practical experience in relevant areas, or at least informed by ideas of practitioners.

Its chronological range is the long central Middle Ages (1000 to 1600 CE), and includes most Mediterranean regions: Iberia, North Africa, the Levant, Asia Minor, the Balkans, Italy, Provence, and the sea itself.

Ordinary Life and Holiness, Volume 1
On May 17, 1992, Pope John Paul II beatified Josemarí a Escrivá de Balaguer. Ten years later, on October 6, 2002, he was proclaimed a saint. " He was chosen by God," affirmed the Roman pontiff, " to announce the universal call to holiness and to indicate that daily life, common activities, are a path of sanctification. It could be said that he was the Saint of the Ordinary." On September 14, 2005, Pope Benedict XVI blessed a statue of St. Josemarí a placed on the walls of St. Peter' s Basilica, with the inscription from Sacred Scripture that summarizes his mission of serving the Church: " Et ego, si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnes traham ad meipsum" — " And I, when I am lifted up from th...
