Frankenstein

Fiction

“Critical editions that treat great books as though they were a living part of the great tradition. It’s a sad commentary on our times that this should seem an innovation. Still, at least it has allowed Ignatius Press to offer this important series. Students and scholars will be forever grateful.”

Living on Hope While Living in Babylon

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“'Tripp York's small defense of Christian Anarchism, Living on Hope While Living in Babylon...was interesting. I recommend it to anyone generally interested in the topic.'”

The Kingdom of Cain

Arts & Literature

“Andrew Klavan has spent a lifetime trying to read what is written on the heart. That’s a difficult thing to do, for the heart is wrapped in shadows that we mistake for substance: We are never better deceived than when we deceive ourselves. But in The Kingdom of Cain, Klavan forces himself to self-honesty by seeing the ways that art can explore evil, and the ways that evil—the real, deep genuine stuff—can show us the reality of good: the law written on the heart. As Klavan walks through artworks from Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment to Hitchcock’s Psycho, he tells us of the light that can be seen best in darkness.”

The Power of Gratitude

Christian Living

“We are not grateful enough for creation, not grateful enough to render unto God the gratitude he’s due for having made the world and all its creatures, but also not grateful enough to realize our own joy. In The Power of Gratitude, Patrick Garry tells the story of his parents’ lives as a lesson and a carol. ‘While they lived their lives, gratitude infused them with energy, hope and optimism,’ he observes. And joy was the result: the joy that ought to come for all of us in the morning and fill the days of those around us.”
