Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Chesterton once a day? Well, that's a start. It is good to see that someone is finally recognizing the need for a daily minimum requirement of mirth and meditation from GKC.”
Arts & Literature
“Pearce has woven a fascinating tapestry of literary criticism, history and ancient faith. It is very good to see the Catholic literary giants emerge from the shadows.”
Classic Literature Made Simple
Arts & Literature
“G.K. Chesterton says, ‘Thinking means connecting things.’ In a classical education, everything is connected to everything else. Literature is a history lesson. It’s also a lesson in art, morality, philosophy, and theology. Pearce’s inviting overview of fifty great books is a master class in connecting things.”
History & Biography
“As one who has traveled the seemingly impossible journey from Baptist to Catholic, I could feel the fear and trembling that Ian Murphy experienced on his adventure. And his dramatic story is indeed an adventure, which he tells with great wit and poignancy.”
History & Biography
“Like any account of a life, Faith of Our Fathers is full of surprises. But the biggest surprise is that the Catholic Church has been the main character in the two thousand years of stories that have come from this storied island.”
Father Brown and the Ten Commandments
Fiction
“John Peterson is the world's greatest expert on Chesterton's famous priest-detective. His presentation of these particular Father Brown stories only adds to their craftiness and profundity.”
Fiction
“How about we take some of the great creators of fantasy fiction and make them characters in a work of fantasy fiction, and naturally make it all intersect with historical events? That's exactly what David Pinault has done in this eye-squinting, goosebump-raising, brain-twisting page turner.”
Arts & Literature
“When Chesterton writes poetry, he excels like no other modern writer. The rhyme, rhythm, alliteration and imagery are a complete joy to the ear. But The Ballad of the White Horse is not just a poem. It is a prophecy.”
Men
“Sam Guzman has given us something we desperately need: a valuable, readable guide to help make our young men into true men.”
Arts & Literature
“A marvelous mix of scintillating literary criticism and probing theological reflection, Sue Sorensen has provided insight into why funny stories are funnier and tragic stories more tragic when a clergyman is the principal character. But she also explores the deeper question, 'Have these artists, as outsiders looking in, captured that mysterious soul of the one who has that special call from Christ?'”
Arts & Literature
“In one of the most unexpected and original explorations of G. K. Chesterton's rich ideas, Matthew Milliner has opened an entirely new territory of scholarship and social studies. Chesterton's endless creativity has somehow gotten even more creative!”
Fiction
“Chesterton said The Flying Inn was one of the books he most enjoyed writing, and indeed it is a joyous romp of mirth and mayhem. But it has turned out to be shockingly prophetic as it portrays the modern world turning its back on Christian civilization, giving way to a blur of barbarism, bureaucracy, and Islam. The rich irony is that a story filled with drinking songs and a barrel of rum should be so sobering.”
Fiction
“Bacchelli has chosen one of the least likely figures from the Gospels: the wild Gerasene after Jesus has cast the demons out of him. From this intriguing premise, he weaves a tapestry into the familiar narrative that is unexpected and deeply satisfying.”
The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful
History & Biography
“Intricately woven together, superbly informative, and fascinating to read, Joseph Pearce’s book provides a fresh look at the history of the Catholic Church. Unique and Ratzingerian!”
Fiction
“In his epic poem, Lepanto, Chesterton called Don Juan the ‘the last knight of Europe.’ This thrilling tale is about things that really happened!”
Fiction
“Dorothy L. Sayers brings all her creative imagination and intellectual brilliance together in this script to make the gospel story come alive. It is hard to believe that this production was once considered controversial. Christ, of course, is always controversial, but Sayers brought Christ too close for comfort.”
Philosophy
“Obvious to popular readers, but strangely imperceptible to scholars, is the prescient quality of G. K. Chesterton’s writings. Here at last is a thorough treatment of Chesterton the Prophet—and not as foreteller of doom, but a giver of hope. Duncan Reyburn has produced an accurate picture of Chesterton’s far-seeing vision, and an insight into the Insightful One himself.”
History & Biography
“The best thing about this book is how uncategorizable it is. Within the first few pages we are transported from the Arctic to Africa and across two centuries. With his poetic prose, Tom Hiney weaves in his own adventure story with an unlikely cast of characters from history, as he describes his unlikely destination: Rome.”
History & Biography
“Oscar Wilde has been used by the pagans and abused by the puritans, but both have dealt dishonestly with him. Joseph Pearce not only reveals Wilde as we have never seen him, but reveals himself as a master of biography.”
Arts & Literature
“The great literature of the world is the telling and retelling of the human story. Joseph Pearce has proven himself to be one of the outstanding men of letters of our time. There could be no better Virgil to our Dante to guide us through the heights and depths of the great works.”
