George Weigel
History & Biography
“For the first time in two millennia, an entry in the liturgical books will now read, 'Saints Louis and Zélie Martin, Spouses'. A married couple, a man and a woman, who were the parents of a saint, the Little Flower, and in whose married life mutual sanctification took place by cooperation with God's grace.”
Apologetics
“Jim Barrett cares deeply about Western civilization and its Christian roots, and invites others to think and care as much as he does.”
A Short History of the Roman Mass
Preaching & Worship
“One of our greatest scholars of the liturgy gives the Church an excellent primer on the ongoing evolution of Catholic worship over two millennia while offering wise counsel on a further 'reform of the reform.' Highly recommended for everyone who understands the intimate linkage between worship and belief, captured in the ancient maxim lex orandi, lex credendi —and even more so for those who don't.”
Adam and Eve After the Pill, Revisited
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This brilliant and courageous book offers both a surgically precise dissection of the social, cultural, religious, and political effects of the sexual revolution and a powerful plea for a compassionate Christian response to the wreckage the revolution has wrought. Anyone who cares about the human future should read, mark, inwardly digest—and then act upon—Mary Eberstadt's summons to a nobler conception of our nature and destiny.”
History & Biography
“The new bull-in-the-china-shop of U.S. Catholic history, Russell Shaw upends pedestals, reimagines story-lines, and invites all of us to think again about the roots of the severe challenges -- and great opportunities -- facing the Church in the United States in the first decades of the third millennium.”
History & Biography
“Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko is the late-twentieth-century's heroic exemplar of a priest accompanying his people in their deepest struggles, ennobling them with his presence and his evangelically charged message, and pouring out his life for the truths he preached. His priestly witness will inspire many in the twenty-first century to give themselves without reservation to the truth of the Gospel and its liberating power.”

Christian Living
“Fr. Rutler is a man of parts: graduate of Dartmouth, Oxford, and Rome's Angelicum; linguist, painter, violinist, and boxer; preacher extraordinaire. He is also that contemporary clerical rarity—an accomplished man of letters who writes as gracefully as he speaks.”
Catholic Heroes of Civil and Human Rights
History & Biography
“The Catholic Human Rights Revolution has changed the world for the better while bearing a powerful witness to the truths taught by the Lord Jesus. Matt Daniels and Roxanne King introduce us here to some nonviolent Catholic revolutionaries well worth meeting and pondering.”
Philosophy
“Maritain was one of the pioneers of the Catholic human rights revolution, which changed the course of 20th century politics. While helping the Church through a genuine development of social doctrine, Maritain helped forge some of the tools that eventually broke through the Berlin Wall.”
History & Biography
“Fr. Paul Mankowski, S.J., combined a penetrating insight into follies ecclesiastical, political, and cultural with a biting wit and a pen that kept his readers eager for more—the ones who weren’t enraged by his musing, that is. Too bad for the latter, for Fr. Mankowski was an honest man afoot in an often dishonest world.”
Theology
“Father Barron's bracing, stimulating essays remind us that the 'Church in permanent mission' to which Pope Francis has called Catholics must be thoughtful as well as merciful, culture-challenging as well as culture-forming, intellectually sharp as well as pastorally sensitive.”
For Love of My People I Will Not Remain Silent
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Cardinal Joseph Zen is one of the great witnesses of the twenty-first-century Church. His thoughts on the future of Catholicism in China should be taken with the utmost seriousness by anyone who cares about the New Evangelization in the spiritual desert of the world's largest country.”
History & Biography
“Relentlessly honest, deeply moving, Sohrab Ahmari's story of his intellectual and spiritual journey from dismissive disbelief to vibrant Catholic faith—a journey propelled by some intriguing companions, including Nietzsche, Camus, and Koestler—is food for both mind and soul and an important testimony to the invigorating power of truth.”
History & Biography
“Cardinal George was courageous, brilliant, shrewd, holy, and 110% Catholic. Getting to know him through Michael Heinlein's book will be a privilege for any reader — and ought to inspire the present and future leaders of the Catholic Church in the United States.”
History of the Catholic Church
History & Biography
“A remarkable achievement that synthesizes a lifetime of learning, James Hitchcock's History of the Catholic Church is also a signal service to twenty-first century Catholicism, a religious community in which controversy and contention are often the by-products of severe amnesia. The Church of the New Evangelization has to know its own story, and that story is told here in full.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Want to know the real Cardinal Burke? Here he is in full, a good priest and an accomplished churchman, in love with the Lord Jesus and passionate about the Lord's flock.”
Theology
“Joseph Ratzinger was a world-class theologian long before he became the Roman Curia’s official defender of Catholic doctrine, and then the pope. In Jesus of Nazareth, Ratzinger reveals the core of his personality as he invites his readers into the classroom of a master teacher-one who has absorbed the best that modern biblical scholarship has to offer and has yet emerged from that encounter with his faith intact and enriched.”
Theology
“This story of Lauren Green’s spiritual journey, powerfully narrated and illustrated with moving stories of struggle and perseverance, will cast light up many blind alleys.”
