Faith of Our Fathers

History & Biography

“The history of the Catholic Church in England is as rich and inspiring as the island she has called home for nearly two millennia. Joseph Pearce does a masterful job of tracing this journey of faith, from the first proclamation of the Gospel on her shores all the way to our present day. May the reading of this book inspire many through the unwavering faith and witness of England's sons and daughters in Christ.”

Holy Is His Name

Theology

“God has called each one of us by name in a particular and concrete way, to be holy as he is holy. As Scott Hahn demonstrates so beautifully in his book Holy Is His Name, this is not a general idea but rather a particular invitation that our Lord makes to each one of us. The good news is, we don't make ourselves holy. We simply learn to dispose ourselves to his transforming grace. May the reading of this book help us discover the holiness of God so as to find our perfect path to the amazing transformation our Lord desires to effect in each one of us.”

Ignatius Catholic Study Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Obeying the first and greatest commandment, Jesus said, includes loving God with all our mind. This means, among other things, that we learn how to view life, the world, and everything through the lens of Sacred Scripture. But, like the Ethiopian eunuch or the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, all of us need a trusted guide to help us grasp what the Bible means, what God is actually saying. The ICSB offers such a guide. The completion of the ICSB is the product of many years of faithful labor, and the contributors and editors and Ignatius Press are to be congratulated for offering this splendid gift to the Church. I recommend this wonderful resource as a regular go-to in every personal, parish, pastoral, and school library.”

In the Eye of the Storm

History & Biography

“Saint John Henry Newman wrote famously: 'to be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.' In the Eye of the Storm: A Biography of Gregory the Great by Sigrid Grabner, takes the reader deep into the turbulent years of 6th century AD Rome. Grabner has done her homework well, as she describes in captivating images and stunning detail, what remains of Rome in the 6th century. The great empire has already been sacked several times by time Gregory is elected to the Chair of Peter in 590, a position he will hold until his death in 604. A skilled administrator, gifted leader, pious monk, brilliant writer and fearless defender of the imperial city, Gregory easily earned the title 'Great.' I highly encourage you to travel back in time 15 centuries and allow Sigrid Grabner to show you the unbroken links of the apostolic tradition.”

The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful

History & Biography

“A wonderful account of Christian history from a very unique and compelling lens. Pearce doesn’t gloss over the dark side of Christianity. And yet, this mysterious threefold garland of the good, the bad, and the beautiful withstands the test of time and continues to endure in spite of its own disease, which can only be healed by a divine and human savior: Christ, who leads us into the light and wonder of a new world redeemed in grace.”

“In the highly technocratic world of medicine today, it is refreshing to read a book by a professor at a top-tier university medical school, who sees medicine as a vocation to share in the mission of the Divine Physician.”
