Men
“What boy doesn’t love stories about kings and kingdoms and doesn’t love crowns and swords and armor? What grown man doesn’t still find himself drawn into their gallant stories? Maybe this says something profound about the way God made us as men as well as the desires he placed in our hearts. You are holding a map revealing the ancient path to the fulfillment of those desires. If you want to make that heroic journey, don’t put it down. Read it.”

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“'Deep cries out to deep,' as the psalmist says. Julie Woodley knows that cry and has responded wholeheartedly. She speaks from that deep soul-place where Jesus has met her and she has experienced his healing presence. These devotions will help you enter into that same place where Jesus can bring hope and healing to your heart, soul, and mind. Enter in slowly, meditatively, and prayerfully, and you will experience how 'deep cries out to deep.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Naked Surrender helps us apply the simple truths of crucifixion unto resurrection into our sexual lives, inspiring us all to sexual wholeness in Christ. In the process, Comiskey demonstrates the vital connection between the truth of the gospel and a true understanding of sexuality; conversely, he shows how a false understanding of sexuality results in a distorted gospel.”
Christian Living
“Chad Thompson offers a unique examination of symbolism inscribed by God in our bodies, weaving a tapestry of insights on the spiritual, psychological, sociological, and anthropological implications of human embodiment. Drawing from an array of sources, including John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, Chad offers a timely exploration of how the way we perceive and esteem our bodies impacts our relationships with self, others, and God.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Every culture in history has taken for granted the God-given truth that human beings are created male or female – until now. If you want to understand how and why we got here so quickly and what to do about it, this is the book to read.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Bishop Elliott brilliantly illuminates the sexual revolution's roots and its harvest of horrors. But, above all, this is a book that offers hope of redemption and renewal, for Christ came into the world not as the savior from the body, but as the savior of the body. This book opens the way to that salvation!”
Through the Heart of St. Joseph
Christian Living
“This book flows from a faithful monk who has not only a sound theological grasp of St. Joseph, but also a deep experience in his own interior life of Joseph's fatherly care. Fr. Boniface portrays St. Joseph in his red-blooded humanity as a passionate spouse and tender father who is the vigorous head and strong protector of the Holy Family. If you read this book prayerfully, you will come to know St. Joseph as Fr. Boniface does: as a loving father and friend. You will also want to join the saints who chose the 'Joseph Option' to help others meet him as well.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Blake offers a compelling ‘apocalypse’—that is, unveiling—of the sexual revolution’s false promises. But that so-called freedom has come at the price of having lost the only freedom that truly matters: the freedom to love. He demonstrates that true sexual freedom is not the liberty to indulge one’s compulsions but liberation from the compulsion to indulge. Only such a person is free to put his or her sexual powers at the service of self-giving love.”
