Bert Ghezzi<\/p><\/div>\n

Phrases such as \u201cculture of anger\u201d have come to describe much of our world today. Both Press and author suspect that Ghezzi\u2019s book is much needed. Early endorsers for the new edition include Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap, Archbishop of Philadelphia; Dr. Ray Guarendi; and\u00a0Fr. Dwight Longenecker, who\u00a0writes,\u00a0\u201cIn this practical and pastoral little book, Bert Ghezzi walks us through a guidebook on anger, showing how anger is God\u2019s blessing not his curse. When the energy of anger is directed properly, God\u2019s power to heal and transform ourselves and our world is unleashed.\u201d Says\u00a0Ghezzi, \u201cI placed\u00a0The Angry Christian<\/em>\u00a0with Paraclete because I knew that they would get it into the hands of many readers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paraclete has also inked a deal with\u00a0Henry L. Carrigan, Jr.<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0Fifteen Spirituals that Will Change Your Life<\/em><\/strong>. Carrigan has worked in publishing for more than twenty years, including at\u00a0Publishers Weekly<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and Continuum, before his current work as a music journalist. As Carrigan says, \u201cMusic touches people’s hearts in deep and enduring ways that words often fail to do.\u201d Paraclete saw in this title an antidote to the uncertainty and anxieties that many face today.\u00a0The\u00a0faith, hope, and love that these songs evoke will carry readers to a place beyond themselves where they connect with others and with God. Carrigan says, \u201cI am excited to be working with Paraclete again: I am grateful for the vision they have of publishing thoughtful books.\u201d\u00a0Fifteen Spirituals<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will publish in September 2018.<\/p>\n
