The Journey to Inner Peace by Fr. Paul Feider (DBX0114): Peace is my farewell to you, my peace is my gift to you (John 14:27). With these words, Jesus established his legacy to humankind. Yet the journey to peace is not an easy one. Father Feider presents a step-by-step understanding of inner peace, its importance as a gift from God and as a means for discovering the real meaning of life. Writing in a simple, experiential manner, he gathers together and explains the primary healing themes, and makes accessible to the reader the experiences of reconciliation, courage, inner healing, and listening to the Lord. He develops and explains six principles, and follows each with a reflective section composed of a prayer and several selections from Scripture.

The Father is Very Fond of Me: Experiences in the Love of God by Edward J. Farrell (DBX0137): This title focuses on the concept of experiencing a deep and personal love from God, often referred to as the "Father" in Christian faith, emphasizing the idea that God has a profound affection for each individual believer. Christians, Father Farrell shows, have a tendency to hide from the God of Love. But the new spirit of Evangelization and reconciliation in the Church today can bring us closer to God and each other.
Father Baker by Floyd Anderson (DBX0136): The life story of Father Baker - a Catholic priest and church administrator in the Buffalo, NY area.

It consisted of a minor basilica, an infant home, a home for unwed mothers, a boys' orphanage, a boys' protectory, a hospital, a nurses' house, and a grade and high school.
