James Martin
Theology
“One of the hallmarks of Jesus’s public ministry was a call to metanoia or conversion. In this wide-ranging new book, Kathleen Bonnette looks at how our conversion of heart must always be at once directed towards God and directed out towards our fellow human beings. With stories from her own life as a Catholic woman (and scholar and mother and friend), she offers a book that is that rare combination of superb scholarship and warm personal stories. Highly recommended.”
History & Biography
“A warm and welcoming introduction to Gerard Manley Hopkins, which focuses not only on his poetry but also on his religion, thus filling in the blanks for all those who have wondered what inspired his groundbreaking artistry.”
Fiction
“J. F. Powers meets J. D. Salinger in A New World, Bob Keane's engrossing tale of a young man's coming of age in 1950s America.”
A Vision for the Aging Christian
Christian Living
“What a gift! James Houston and Michael Parker have given readers a clear, comprehensive, and thoughtful text addressing critical aspects of the aging process—all through the lens of Christian values. Their work provides the reader easily understood information as well as access to important resources to support successful aging. I recommend A Vision for the Aging Christian as a resource for individuals, families, as well as professionals in the medical and human services fields.”
History & Biography
“The beautifully written, often inspiring, and always fascinating obituaries in this volume are not about death, but about life, specifically, the lives of the men and women—holy, not so holy, and trying to be holy—who passed through the doors of the Catholic Worker Houses of Hospitality. Why not come to know some of the saints who are already praying for you from their posts in heaven?”
Christian Living
“The most human thing that Jesus did was to die. Death unites us all, even though we sometimes want to downplay or even ignore that fact. That is why this beautiful new book is for everyone. Insightful, touching, and, above all, real, At the Hour of Our Death is an invitation to gaze upon this quintessentially human part of our life with clear eyes, an open mind, and a trusting heart. It is an essential book about an essential part of everyone’s life.”
“Inviting, lively, accessible, provocative, and--dare I say--fun, Ann Kansfield's book is like sitting with your best friend, if your best friend is a faith-filled person who tells terrific stories and gives life-changing advice.”
Christian Living
“Luke Norsworthy’s inviting, accessible, and entirely enjoyable new book is an invitation to come to know God better. Or to come to know God for the first time. Highly recommended.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“A riveting story of God’s grace and healing in the face of the most profound loss and grief. Brian Cahill’s compassionate work with both prisoners and law-enforcement officers, after the suicide of his son, is a compelling testimony of faith, hope and love.”
History & Biography
“Eugene Kennedy lived a life that mirrored the great change in the Catholic church in the twentieth century: at various times a psychologist, author, and activist, sometimes all three. His rich and varied life is beautifully recounted in this new book—the first biography of Kennedy, and a worthy one, of this important and inspiring Catholic layman.”
Christian Living
“In this timely book, Eric Clayton, a gifted and talented writer, mines the five-hundred-year-old Ignatian tradition to meet the demanding needs of peace today. He takes us on a spiritual journey that both inspires and challenges readers to reimagine how we relate to ourselves, to our God, and to one another. Speaking to everything from inner calm to social justice, Clayton’s book offers practical tools for any peace seeker in a quest that touches all aspects of our lives.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Selah” is God reaching out to every woman’s heart with the pause we long for and somehow sense we’re missing, whether we know it or not. The invitation to rest and be still—to be guilt-free—is one that every mom needs to receive again and again in the midst of a world whose every refrain is “more more more, louder louder louder!” In Finding Selah, Kristen gently walks us through the process of being vulnerable with God through joy and heartache, allowing Him to sing over and refresh us with His love and approval.”
History & Biography
“Some say that love is the most powerful force in the world. I would suggest it’s forgiveness. And the astonishing and beautifully told story of two fathers drawn together by unimaginable tragedy shows how the process of forgiveness happens step by grace-filled step.”

Christian Living
“Just a couple of chapters into Hands Free Life, I learned not to sit down with the book unless I had a box of tissues at the ready. Rachel’s truthful style of storytelling brought me to grateful tears again and again, redirecting my gaze me back to the beauty found in my everyday, regular ordinary . . . and reminding me that perfectionism is not a prerequisite for a hands free journey. Such a freeing message!”
History & Biography
“A superbly researched, beautifully written and vividly presented portrait of an overlooked time in modern history. An important book about a key part of Catholic and American history that had to be written.”
Women
“Honey for a Child’s Heart fueled my desire to create a reading culture in our family, but it didn’t only do that. It also showed me how. I consulted it faithfully for years to point me toward the best books that would help my kids fall in love with reading—and it worked! I’m thrilled that an updated edition can do the same for a new generation of families!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Anyone who ministers in the name of Jesus needs to have a sense of humor. It not only enlivens one's ministry . . . , it also mirrors the joyful approach of Jesus of Nazareth. Olson's absolutely delightful new book will be a boon to any pastor, minister, elder, deacon, or priest seeking to incorporate joy into his or her ministry. And that should be everyone who ministers at all: the Good News, after all, should put a smile on people's faces!”
World Religions
“A brilliant collection of essays by one of the world's leading scholars on interreligious dialogue and learning. Let me just say that nothing I've ever read by Father Clooney is ever anything less than fascinating, provocative and beautifully written. These essays, a delight to read and ponder, are a kind of master class in which you will learn an enormous amount about a wide variety religious and spiritual traditions–including your own. Highly recommended.”
Children & Youth
“Made, Known, Loved is a rare and wonderful book that will help save lives. There are books on LGBTQ people; there are books on Christian ministry; there are even books on youth ministry. But this is the first book I know of that addresses the important topic of Christian ministry to LGBTQ youth, who often feel rejected by their families, shut out from their churches, and abandoned by God. Ross Murray reminds the readers, whom I hope will be not only ministers but also young people and their families, that LGBTQ people are, as Psalm 139 says, ‘wonderfully made.”
