Art and Sacrificial Love

Arts & Literature

“Michael O'Brien's images arrest viewers in the here and now before propelling them into the depths of spirituality. His story recalls that of Fra Angelico—living Truth while painting Truth.”

In the Stars the Glory of His Eyes

“Captivating. A behind-the-scenes look at the faith, providence, and hard work in leading pilgrimages, divulging surprising tidbits of history unknown to even the most assiduous travelers. Amid Troy's humorous tales of human frailty, he reveals moving glimpses of the extraordinary graces of pilgrimage, signs of divine favor poured upon those who undertake these journeys of love.”

Saints

Children & Youth

“Saints: A Family Story breathes new life into hagiography, making it a golden legend for our times. John and Catherine Cavadini recount the grace-filled lives of thirty-four men and women ranging from apostolic times to the present, from Chicago to Nagasaki, from martyrs to contemplatives, forming an extraordinary community of holy friendships for young and old. Each biography in S aints is unique, like the path to sanctity it sketches, and written in an engaging style sure to captivate the modern reader. Anastassia Cassady's illustrations, drawing on the rich traditions of Christian art for each distinctive and compelling portrait, are magnificent.”
