Fr. George Rutler

A Time to Die

Christian Living

“This is a work written with singular beauty that is not lost in translation. The serenity on each page is an elegant rebuke to a Culture of Death, whose chief irony is that it does not know how to die well.”

Continental Ambitions

History & Biography

“These accounts of a human drama heroic and villainous, saintly and sanguineous, are a feast for the historian and, more importantly, food for our generation starved of the story of its own past. The romantic whose knowledge is airbrushed and the cynic whose knowledge is cobbled together with clich‚s will jointly be challenged. For everyone, reading this book could be a transforming experience, and a delight as well.”

Conversion

Christian Living

“Abstractions are not the language of God, and that is why St. Francis de Sales said 'heart speaks to heart.' Fr. Haggerty uses a clear and direct style for which he is justly esteemed, to make the point that conversion is the daily heartfelt response of a disciple to the Master, whether we come to Him later in life or were brought to him as infants in parental arms. To be a 'cradle Catholic' is no license to remain in the cradle. This fine book encourages a conversion of souls to the true challenge of holiness..”

For Love of My People I Will Not Remain Silent

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Cardinal Zen's unadorned eloquence reveals a patient silence "like a lamb before its shearers" (Is 53:7) during many years of suffering. At the same time, as the prophet said, "For Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet " (Is 62:1), so does Cardinal Zen say for China.”

God or Nothing

History & Biography

“In a breathtaking way, Cardinal Sarah quotes and incarnates the wisdom of Pope Benedict: 'Ideologues will not save the world but rather, the saints and their great, gentle insights.'”

Hope for the World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Cardinal Burke provides a therapeutic analysis of the crisis affecting the Church since Vatican II, and he radiates the perennial hope that is the wellspring of evangelization.”

Lay Siege to Heaven

Fiction

“These pages positively glow with de Wohl's discovery of history's public secret: there is no life more human than the supernatural life of a saint and no romance greater than the struggle to love only what God loves.”

Mary and the Fathers of the Church

Theology

“Solid and majestic scholarship such as this lets the Fathers speak to our own age when Mary's glory is neglected by skeptics and pantomimed by the superstitious.”

Recovery of the Sacred

Preaching & Worship

“With typical clarity, Hitchcock indicts recent theological and liturgical attempts to suburbanize the Heavenly City. What was prophecy when it was first published, now is sober reflection. There is hope here for surviving the most tragic self-mutilation of Catholic culture since the Arian crisis of the fourth century.”

Women Mystics, Second Edition

History & Biography

“The Christian women who have enjoyed the mystical vision of God are clearly a voice of reason amidst all the foolishness said about women in today's confused world. Father Bouyer is a master teacher and unsurpassed in describing God's gift to these women.”
