Publikazzjonijiet Agostinjani - Frisk bħal Ħassa

Wieħed mill-mezzi ta’ mistrieħ l-aktar ħafif hu r-rakkuntar, rakkuntar ta’ ġrajjiet u ta’ ħsibijiet. Xi rakkonti huma tqal iżda oħrajn huma ħfief u mexxejja, bħal ġabra li qiegħed joffrilna P. Henry Schembri f’dan il-ktieb “Frisk bħal Ħassa”. F’dan il-ktieb insibu ġabra ta’ rakkonti qosra, aktarx ħfief iżda bla ma huma superfiċjali. Hi x-xewqa tal-awtur li jaqsam miegħek dawn ir-rakkonti li ġew f’moħħu, bil-għan li jkun ta’ serħan għalik int u taqra. Propju għalhekk l-isem “Frisk bħal Ħassa”. Il-ktieb hu imżewwaq b’numru ta’ tpinġijiet oriġinali.

Publikazzjonijiet Agostinjani - Warajk Biss Irrid Nimxi, Mulej!

Fis-sena 1986 ippubblikajna ktieb bl-isem "Lilek Biss Inħobb, Mulej" li kien jiġbor fih numru konsiderevoli ta' talbiet magħmulin minn Santu Wistin lil Alla. B'dan il-ktieb il-ġdid, "Warajk Biss Irrid Nimxi, Mulej!" ħsibna li nagħtu lill-qarrejja tagħna aktar talb sabiħ ta' missierna Santu Wistin. Din il-pubblikazzjoni hija kompletament differenti mill-ktieb stampat fis-sittax-il Ċentenarju tal-konverżjoni ta' Santu Wistin.
