All Things Are Possible

History & Biography

“Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, a truly modern saint in every sense, is remarkably alive and captivating in this abundant collection of her letters and private journals. What an extraordinary mix of qualities she possessed in her deep prayerfulness and faith, her sacrificial discipline, her inspired leadership of religious women, her shrewd pragmatism in dealing with worldly and ecclesial figures, her radiant courage as a woman in backing down to nothing and seeing all things as possible with God’s help. Her great love for the poor, for children, and for the Heart of Jesus shines very brightly in these beautiful pages!”

Bread Grows in Winter

“Timely prophetic insightfulness for the present day. Ida Görres combines a wonderful style of writing, a piercing lucidity in her religious sense, and a unique capacity to diagnose aberrant trends in the Church and propose spiritual solutions. This book is highly recommended to all who seek clarity in their Catholic commitment in a time of confusion and ambiguity, and who would like a great read as well.”

Charles de Foucauld, Second Edition

History & Biography

“Charles de Foucauld is an extraordinary figure, and still too little known. His life reads like a dramatic contemporary masterpiece written in God's own handwriting. This biography captures beautifully the essence of a man who, once he found God, was never satisfied except to give all to God.”

Desire and Unity

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“A marvelous point of entry into the life, teaching, and spiritual impact of the great Saint Augustine. Succinct and focused, it captures the wonder of the man—not just the theologian who has had enormous influence on Catholic thought, but the man of searching prayer and love for God, the Eucharist, and the Church.”

He Gave Us So Much

History & Biography

“I have rarely, if ever, read a work of thoughtful spirituality brimming over with this kind of vibrant insight and spiritual depth. It is fascinating, a gaze into the core of truth and religious thirst that animated the intense love of Joseph Ratzinger for the mystery of God and his Church.”

Hope for the World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The bedrock solidity of Cardinal Burke's faith shines radiantly in this interview.”

Mary in the Bible and in Our Lives

Theology

“This wonderful book on the Virgin Mary by the esteemed Carmelite spiritual master offers both insightful doctrinal clarity and a stimulus to a renewed love for Our Lady. His chapter on Mary's experience of darkness as part of her maternal role in God's plan is of great value, a unique contribution to spirituality.”

On Obedience

“A concise but remarkably exhaustive explication of obedience, this preeminent virtue is at the heart of sanctity. A full range of mystical, theological, and practical insights will draw a reader to savor these pages. It is one of those rare books that cannot remain long on a bookshelf before being sought once again.”

Priests in Love with God and Eager to Witness to the Gospel

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is a wise, perceptive book, and much needed in our day. Archbishop Alfred Hughes understands keenly that a resurgence of fervent priestly dedication and holiness requires a recovery of profound insights from the great Fathers and spiritual figures of the Church and, equally, a realistic awareness of the difficulties that mark every historical period, including our own. In these pages priests and seminarians will find themselves invigorated and challenged to seek real holiness. The bracing hopefulness of this book is that serious spiritual commitment will lead soon to an era of holy young priests in our midst.”

Rekindle the Gift of God

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Rekindle the Gift of God covers a wide range of pertinent and controversial subjects related to the sacraments, doctrinal clarity, and personal spirituality. Every seminarian in the country should own a copy.”

Report from Calabria

History & Biography

“The Carthusian life, typically so unknown and hidden, has found another privileged account. The anonymous priest-author enjoyed four months of full participation in Carthusian life in Calabria. The letters written during his monastic stay and collected here display an observant eye and sensitive insights for both external detail and for the rich depth of dedicated silence, solitude, and prayer that marks the Carthusian life. Anyone moved some years back by the extraordinary film Into the Great Silence will find in this book another fascinating appreciation for the daily self-giving of these hidden monks who live all for God.”

The Power of Silence

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The jewel of contemplative life never hides for long. In this remarkable interview, Cardinal Sarah, the great contemplative prefect in Rome, provides a treasure trove of profound commentary on the sacredness of silence for the pursuit of a serious spiritual life in a world dominated by the dictatorship of noise.”

Wisdom from the Psalms

“Peter Kreeft has written a wonderful, wise book, clearly the fruit of his own deep spirituality and his love for prayer. Prayer demands no special talent nor training in techniques nor even so much time, but above all a very human heart capable of believing, loving, and suffering. God's immense desire is that we learn to love prayer; it is really an easy lesson if we plunge into the beauty of the ancient Psalms, these prayers that Jesus himself prayed and his saints loved.”
