Christopher Check
History & Biography
“Highest praise to Joseph Pearce for giving all the English-speaking peoples a true understanding of who they are by showing them from whence they came. If there is another book that makes so clear and with so much eloquence the Catholic heart and soul of Shakespeare's 'sceptered isle', I don't know it.”
Fiction
“The real battle for America’s soul is not waged in legislative halls but in lecture halls. Congratulations to the courageous souls at Ignatius Press for firing off what is nothing less than a direct hit in the culture war. For too long, the Western Canon has been co-opted by those who, in fact, hate the West and the three things for which she stands: the good, the beautiful, and the true. These magnificent editions, edited by a scholar who loves all three, belong on the shelves of every campus bookstore, every high-school classroom, and every home school.”
Men
“Catholic men who truly desire to be Catholic men should pick up and, with all due reflection, make their way through Joseph Pearce’s masterfully curated collection of the best poetry and literature for men. Those who do answer Pearce’s challenge will come to understand—as the Master taught and showed—that manliness has nothing to do with self-indulgence. Manliness is about total self-giving.”
History & Biography
“There’s nothing Chesterton of which Dale Ahlquist has not kept track, and this volume, the fruit of a frankly mind-boggling amount of careful and loving research, gives the reader not only the chronology and context but also the insight into and understanding of the life and thought of the man who may be the twentieth century’s most expansive mind and heart. It fills a giant void in Chesterton scholarship. It certainly is the most complete account of Chesterton to date, and one rendered by its painstaking notes altogether accessible to Chesterton veterans and novices alike.”

History & Biography
“Mike Aquilina invites us to consider more deeply the ancient cities we hear so often about in Scripture but would be hard-pressed to locate on a map. He provides a living map, as it were, of the first four centuries of Christianity. Special thanks to him for remembering our Armenian brothers and sisters, ancient preservers of Christian scholarship and tradition, who suffer to this day.”
History & Biography
“Intellectual biography takes a mind that is a match for the subject, but more than that, a sympathetic heart. Father Aidan Nichols delivers a portrait of Sigrid Undset without rival. A wise librarian in Rome told me, 'All of moral theology is contained in Kristen Lavransdatter.' Read Father Nichols' book, and you will know what he meant.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“If bishops, priests, and laymen implement the Cardinal's clear plan from this book, the New Evangelization will catch fire all over the globe!”
The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful
History & Biography
“Today’s historians imagine history as an account through time of persons, nations, races, classes, and religions jockeying for advantage on a vast playing field—the Catholic Church a mere one of many competing political interests. Joseph Pearce provides the corrective: a history that locates the Incarnation and the Church in time, and moves through time into eternity. There are other readings of history, but this is the only correct one.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Mankind's future depends on whether we embrace or reject the wisdom of this book. Read this book before doing so becomes a criminal act.”
Fiction
“Historians have struggled to give an account of the Thirty Years’ War, this tangled, fratricidal, barbaric conflict that claimed the lives of some eight million Europeans in the seventeenth century. Its impact on the continent continues to this day. Better than any historian, Catholic storyteller Gertrud von Le Fort brings her unique genius for laying bare the human heart in making sense of and finding redemption amid the horror of human suffering. She stands with Gironella and Manzoni in this regard—and ahead of Dickens!”
