The New Peace Treaty (Between God and Humanity) is a new translation of the New Testament. The purpose of this translation is to make the meaning of New Testament documents accessible to the average reader. The language is basic and often employs common slang. Highly theological or often misunderstood religious terms are broken down to their core meaning. Chapter and verse have been removed because they were added much later during the Middle Ages. The New Peace Treaty (Between God and Humanity) is designed for those who want the power and the clear meaning of the New Testament to come alive. It is the perfect translation for personal reflection and personal devotion. It is the first translation to look and read like what first century Christians would have heard if they lived in the twenty-first century.

What if we really believed that God is love? What if we really believed that God is patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting? What if we really believed that God asks us to be patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting toward God and toward the people in our lives? How would the world look if all of us who claim to be Christian just took that one, simple idea and made it the foundation of our lives? Would the world be a different place? Would the Church look the same? These are a few of the many questions Father R. Joseph Owles asks himself and his readers.A SHEEP AMONG WOLVES: One Man's Stubborn Commitment to the Idea That GOD IS LOVE is a collection of meditations (called "Blessays") centered on that one, simple idea that God is love. Some of these Blessays are meditations on daily lectionary readings, some are the result of passing thoughts, and some are based on conversations and questions asked by others, as well as questions posited by Father R. Joseph Owles himself. Father Owles asserts .that if God is love, then love is not what God does, Love is what God is! If we really believe that God is really love, then whatever we do in the name of God must be done with love because if it is not done with love, then it is not done for God - who is love. If God is love, then Kingdom of God is really the Kingdom of Love; Jesus Christ is really the Son of Love; and we are all the People of Love.This is theology at its best - down to earth, accessible, practical, and applicable. It is a must read for all who strive to live as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ regardless of church affiliation or tradition.

The Didache means “The Teaching” – Christian traditions has claimed that “The Teaching” is nothing less than the teaching of the Twelve Apostles to the early-Church. The Didache was considered by many in the early-Church as part of the New Testament. It fell out of the New Testament as time passed, but continued to serve as a Christian manual. The Didache was lost for centuries until 1873, when a Greek manuscript was rediscovered. The Didache serves as an important historical document in the early-Church, as well as providing solutions to practical Church questions such as does a person have to be dunked during baptism, or can water simply be poured over the head? This copy has been translated by R. Joseph Owles from the Greek into every day, contemporary language, and is formatted in a way that makes it easy to both read and understand.

 THE NEW PEACE TREATY is in fact the Bible, but it does not look or read like most Bibles. This does not detract from the texts. For many, this allows the text to come alive for the first time! It is the perfect translation allowing reflection and personal devotion. It is also the first translation to look and read like what 1st-century Christians would have heard if they lived in the 21st century. THE NEW PEACE TREATY not only helps Christians read and understand the Bible, it is the perfect translation for those who are not Christian. It is hoped that this translation is a type of “Pentecost in print,” allowing readers to understand in their own language what Jesus and the Apostles preached and taught. God does not speak to us in some archaic tongue and then holds accountable for what we do not understand. God wants us to understand the Word – the same Word who came to us as one of us and speaks to us in our own language. God is speaking to you in your own language! Will you listen to what God is saying?

The Rule of Saint Benedict expresses a discipline and wisdom for living in this world of sin and distraction and suffering and death. Saint Benedict shares the belief of James, who expressed the idea that faith is not so much a mental agreement with some idea. Instead, it is more of a commitment to live and be a certain way, regardless of the challenges one faces. It is a faith that does, and by doing, understands what it believes. A Rule is not only a set of rules serving as a constitution for monastics living cloistered lives behind the walls of a monastery. It is also the minimum standard and expression of Christian living and activity for those of us living in a busy, chaotic, and dangerous world outside the monastery walls. The Rule of Saint Benedict is an attempt at ordering life, but it does so by ordering the self so that genuine monastery is possible. The monastery is not merely a group of individuals who dwell in close proximity. It is a group of individuals who develop a sense of “oneness” who live together “with unity.” The fostering of such unity is Saint Benedict’s goal. The Rule of Saint Benedict is the minimum standard of individual Christian life so that we may live together in maximum monastery and relationship with others and with God.
