James Penrice A New Dad's Guide to Playing God: Reflections on the Vocation of Fatherhood
A
Each one of us is created in the image and likeness of God. As such, we are all called to act like him -- to be loving, forgiving, compassionate, to stand up for what is right, to actively pursue peace and justice. When we better understand God and our relationship with him, it becomes clear that our lives are to resemble the life of God as much as possible. We are to be his presence to everyone we meet -- we are all called to "play God." While the mandate to "play God" accompanies all human vocations, when it come to being an earthly father, this likeness to God takes on some very profound implications. When God calls a man to be a father, he charges him with the mission to be the one from whom his children will primarily experience the love of their heavenly Father. Being a father means being the arms, eyes, heart and voice ofGod to one's children. These pages were written to help young fathers discover their true identity and to do what it takes to nourish it.130 pp.

James Penrice Conscience: An Owner's Manual
A
Just as any appliance will work properly only when it is used and maintained according to the manufacturer's intent, so it is with our conscience. That little voice inside us, which tells us what is right and what is wrong, needs to be properly understood if we are to follow it with impunity. We all have many voices within us urging us to do various things. How do we discern between them? The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that "a human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience." Yet we know from experience that either out of ignorance or passion, we can make erroneous judgments for which we must pay the consequences. This manual is designed to help the reader avoid such pitfalls. 83 pp.

James Penrice God Could Be a Teen: No One Understands Him Either The Truth & Freedom of Catholic Morality
A
"You want to be loved, but not everybody loves you. There are people you want to have a relationship with who don't love you back -- and it hurts. People misunderstand you. You're a very complicated person, but others see only what's on the outside, and they jump to conclusions about you that aren't true. People tell false stories about you. You have ideas which you know are good, but others make fun of them as being weird. You get blamed for problems that aren't your fault. You know that if people would only make the effort to get to know you... they would understand you better and love you. But you're frustrated that this doesn't always happen.... Don't let it get you down, God -- it happens to me, too." With these words the author opens his discussion with teenagers about the moral problems all humans face. And he offers them some very down-to-earth, concrete suggestions for their consideration as he shows them why God expects certain things of us if we are to reach our full potential here and hereafter. 88 pp.
