Philosophy
“It may be said that the defining fault line of 20th-century Catholic thought is the conflict between the advocates of the Nouvelle Theologie and its critics. Regardless of which side the reader may place himself in relation to that fault line, intellectual integrity demands that both sides be properly understood. Maurice Blondel is the bridge that one must cross in order to understand the Nouvelle Theologie. Father Nichols gives the reader a careful, guided tour of Blondel’s work, a philosophical precursor to the Nouvelle Theologie. Scholars seeking to be prepared for a rigorous assessment of this theological movement would do well to start with this book.”
History & Biography
“Fr. Martinson’s autobiography is not just a window into a distant time and a different world. It is much more. It is an account of a life so charged with the gift of knowledge and love of Christ that the first, only, and constant choice is to spend that life helping Christ to be known and loved by others.”

Exploring the World’s Foundations in Christ
Theology
“Being unfamiliar with the work of Jesuit Father Donald Keefe is a kind of poverty, from which one ought to be relieved. Yet finding one's way into the rich and complex work of this theologian can be daunting, even overwhelming. A guide is needed. Kevin McMahon is that guide, providing the reader with context, insight, and explanation. This is a valuable introduction to the work of Father Keefe—work that is clearly the result of study, prayer, and worship. It’s a rewarding and enriching read.”
How to Destroy Western Civilization and Other Ideas from the Cultural Abyss
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Diagnosis and prescription in one volume! Dr. Kreeft shows that the diseases destroying Western civilization are indeed deadly, but need not be fatal. While there is still time, we can remember, reclaim and discover the treasures of Western civilization that are both so divine and so thoroughly humane.”
Fiction
“In this unsettling novel, we meet characters very much like ourselves. The wisdom of this book aligns with that of the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius, who teaches that it's not enough to admire Jesus or even imitate Him. We're called to union with Him suffering and crucified, as the only means of liberation from despair and Hell. Read this novel and then go to prayer.”
The Greatest Philosopher Who Ever Lived
Philosophy
“Sadly, this book is a rarity among contemporary philosophical works—for it is at once logical and lyrical. What makes it even more rare is that this book of philosophy can move you to both prayer and love. You'll want to read this book more than once. Thank you, Dr. Kreeft!”
The Moral Wisdom of the Catholic Church
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Fr. Spitzer has done the seemingly impossible. He has taken the sprawling array of moral controversies and synthesized them into a coherent whole. He has taken matters besotted by rage and sobered them with reason. He taken matters distorted by passions and conformed them to the heart of Christ. If you are looking for sanity and sanctity, then you need to read—and live—this book.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Wise, thorough, careful, and sound. This timely book is essential for medical professionals, priests, patients, lawyers, and families. Highly recommended.”
