They soon acquired the newest technology of the day, a braille press, to provide the most important Catholic book of their day, <em>The Baltimore Catechism</em>.</span></span><br></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><br>The Xavier Society, more than a century after its founding, continues to use leading edge technology to make important Catholic books and publications available to blind and visually impaired people.

Borg and John Dominic Crossan (B2000, 4 volumes): Top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join together to reveal a radical and little-known Jesus. As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first entry, that of Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading Roman soldiers into the city, symbolized military strength. The second heralded a new kind of moral hero who was praised by the people as he rode in on a humble donkey. The Jesus introduced by Borg and Crossan is this new moral hero, a more dangerous Jesus than the one enshrined in the church's traditional teachings. <em>The Last Week </em>depicts Jesus giving up his life to protest power without justice and to condemn the rich who lack concern for the poor. In this vein, at the end of the week Jesus marches up Calvary, offering himself as a model for others to do the same when they are confronted by similar issues. Informed, challenged, and inspired, we not only meet the historical Jesus, but meet a new Jesus who engages us and invites us to follow him.</p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;">-<em> The Rocking Chair Prophet </em>by Matthew Kelly (B2001, 2 volumes): There is a voice within you. Listening to that voice is the difference between happiness and misery, wonderful memories and heartrending regrets. <em>The Rocking Chair Prophet </em>is a transformational story about reclaiming that voice and the unmitigated joy that comes from following it. After an unspeakable tragedy devastates his life, Daniel, a thirty-three-year-old suburban man, disappears into the mountains. Years later, he reemerges filled with uncommon wisdom and other extraordinary gifts. From that day on, people travel from far and wide to meet with Daniel, who sits on his rocking chair, meeting with visitors, and helping them explore their deeply personal questions. These questions lead to a series of epic conversations that traverse life’s quintessential topics: love, suffering, health and well-being, education, work, money and things, spirituality, regrets, depression, ambition, nature, parenting, midlife crisis, choices, our hopes and dreams, the meaning of life, and enduring friendship. <em>The Rocking Chair Prophet</em> is a rich exploration of life and the human condition. It’s an invitation to rediscover yourself and reorient your life. Matthew Kelly has masterfully woven into the story a piercing wisdom that is thought-provoking on a life-changing scale. It is stunning that one book can have something so meaningful to say on so many topics. This is destined to be a book readers return to time and again, a book that speaks to us anew in every season of life.</p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;"><strong>AUDIO: Compatible with the Talking Book Machines<em> </em>provided for free by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled of the Library of Congress:</strong></span></span></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><em>- Seeing Home: The Ed Lucas Story</em> by Ed and Christopher Lucas (DBX1156): This is the incredible true tale of a beloved Emmy-winning blind baseball broadcaster who refused to let his disability prevent him from overcoming many challenging obstacles and achieving his dreams.

Throughout his career he spent time with presidents and popes, world leaders and newsmakers, celebrities and sports heroes, but one person stood out to him in terms of his strength of character, modest grace and simple decency—Russert's dad, Big Russ. In this warm, engaging memoir, a #1 New York Times bestseller, Russert casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of his youth. In the close-knit Irish-Catholic community where grew up, doors were left unlocked at night; backyard ponds became makeshift ice hockey rinks in winter; and streets were commandeered as touch football fields in the fall. And he recalls the extraordinary example of his father, a WWII veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends. These deep roots stayed with Russert as he forged a remarkable career, first in government and then in media, and finally in his 16 years at Meet the Press as one of the most recognized and trusted face in television news. As Russert explains, his fundamental values sprung from that small house on Woodside Avenue and the special bond he shared with his father—values he passed down to his own son, Luke. <a data-cke-saved-href="https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1&target=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2fQrlFVmu006k" href="https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyu3qMEoPo2t3yBMYNi7EgAxPohoZVhlf08jMyE7H6-HKbOPDMuB1LNncyb8zEpbKocL0_DxMu7KzX3IdknU1dSwDCc_arg6tEyQnNtqod_dBuSKtcxLtoGbk5GZh63pD4E1&target=https%3a%2f%2fapp.donorview.com%2fCommunication%2fClick%3fprm%3doAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1%26target%3dhttps%253a%252f%252fyoutu.be%252fQrlFVmu006k" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm%3DoAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1%26target%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fyoutu.be%252fQrlFVmu006k&source=gmail&ust=1713266505100000&usg=AOvVaw0Me-uJ0NxhLcQk4HgLQlH6" style="text-decoration-color: none;"><b>Click here to listen to a preview.</b></a></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;">- <em>The Open Door</em> by Helen Keller (DBX0316): Helen Keller is thought of as a phenomenon, a miracle, a humanitarian, and educator.

With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father Martin explains why Jesus' crucifixion and death on the cross are an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus' final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply. <strong>Also available in braille and BRF.</strong> <a data-cke-saved-href="https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1&target=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2fFtAM3Ur6DaM" href="https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyu3qMEoPo2t3yBMYNi7EgAxPohoZVhlf08jMyE7H6-HKbOPDMuB1LNncyb8zEpbKocL0_DxMu7KzX3IdknU1dSwDCc_arg6tEyQnNtqod_dBuSKtcxLtoGbk5GZh63pD4E1&target=https%3a%2f%2fapp.donorview.com%2fCommunication%2fClick%3fprm%3doAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1%26target%3dhttps%253a%252f%252fyoutu.be%252fFtAM3Ur6DaM" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm%3DoAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1%26target%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fyoutu.be%252fFtAM3Ur6DaM&source=gmail&ust=1713266505100000&usg=AOvVaw0aX-Ca8_mSMb1nttlCvXdt" style="text-decoration-color: none;"><b>Click here to listen to a clip.</b></a></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin: 0;">- <em>Miracles of Lourdes: A Protestant Looks at Lourdes </em>by Ruth Cranston (DBX0967): The cures of Lourdes - cures of the hopelessly sick and disabled by forces unknown to modern science - have made that small French town the most visited shrine in the world. They have also been a source of endless controversy and wonder among doctors and laymen alike. <em>The Miracle of Lourdes</em> is an exhaustive firsthand study of the famous Catholic shrine and its cures. To prepare it, Ruth Cranston lived in Lourdes, talked with doctors, nurses, stretcher-bearers, patients. A Protestant herself, her approach was that of the reporter and impartial investigator. She has verified and documented the facts she presents. No reader will finish her report without feeling that, whatever the explanation, the experience of Lourdes reveals something profoundly significant to men and women everywhere. <strong>Also available in braille and BRF.</strong> <b><a data-cke-saved-href="https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1&target=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2f5v3wZi-Y3vI" href="https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyu3qMEoPo2t3yBMYNi7EgAxPohoZVhlf08jMyE7H6-HKbOPDMuB1LNncyb8zEpbKocL0_DxMu7KzX3IdknU1dSwDCc_arg6tEyQnNtqod_dBuSKtcxLtoGbk5GZh63pD4E1&target=https%3a%2f%2fapp.donorview.com%2fCommunication%2fClick%3fprm%3doAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1%26target%3dhttps%253a%252f%252fyoutu.be%252f5v3wZi-Y3vI" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.donorview.com/Communication/Click?prm%3DoAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyvcy-EMe7rgynZsWHhmBMGLFn3uVDtTzKZc76NicvETUu6HxmEzJQbwEIbsAoDNkey_e15BmDm0o0u7Wwr-CU9OnaElfU2SkLezO4i5j9v4I9qBngXysznCe3BGj2uEgeQ1%26target%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fyoutu.be%252f5v3wZi-Y3vI&source=gmail&ust=1713266505100000&usg=AOvVaw1cUa7u0heMqhKY4-siGR8k" style="text-decoration-color: none;">Click here to listen to a preview.</a></b></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><!--[if mso | IE]>
