History & Biography
“This book is fascinating not only for its portrayal of Venerable Fulton Sheen, but also for its cast of seemingly thousands of converts, so many of whom were celebrities in their day. These were interesting, accomplished men and women, and it’s a thrill to remember them in this way.”
History & Biography
“Carlo teaches us an important lesson. God has called us all to be saints wherever we are—online, on the ski slopes, in sneakers. His story is beautiful, and it should not be extraordinary. Through his example and his intercession—and through this book—may it become quite ordinary.”
History & Biography
“Paul Senz has given us a way to transcend our historical moment and appreciate all the general Church councils. He gives us the definitions we need to advance in understanding, and he answers the questions that arise when we're reading those great histories of the Church.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“To read this book is to know why we call Good Friday 'Good'—and to see the way to a far richer life, even amid tremendous sorrow.”
History & Biography
“This is a wild roller-coaster of a conversion story. It's a thrill to follow Murphy from principled agnosticism to evangelicalism to celebrity to a Baptist pastorate. But then comes the steepest hill of all, when he realizes he cannot deny the claims of the Catholic Church.”
History & Biography
“Bennett uses the words of the Fathers themselves, but recast so that they flow like the words of a modern novel—an adventure or a mystery. Hermas, Clement, Hippolytus, Origen: you'll think of them as friends forever after reading Four More Witnesses.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I’ve never seen a more complete and useful study Bible. The editors incorporate the riches of the tradition of the Fathers alongside the best of modern critical scholarship. From Genesis to Revelation, they manifest a rare sense of the Bible as a liturgical book and source of Catholic doctrine. From this day forward, I assure you, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible will be at my desk and open.”
Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“John Bergsma has provided the missing link between the assembly of the Old Testament and the Church of the New Testament. Read this book and you’ll see the Gospels and the sacraments more vividly than ever before. You’ll understand your place in history and in God’s people. If you read just one book about first-century Judaism, let it be this one.”
Arts & Literature
“For more than a century we've labored to build a city that's noisy and ugly — and boring us to death. If you suspect there's something better, follow that hunch through the pages of this book. You'll find not just something beautiful, but the Way of Beauty itself.”
Arts & Literature
“I love this book because there's not a hint of "Eat your spinach" about it. Pearce's reading program is pure pleasure. It can make the world a happier place.”
Christian Living
“Bishop Hying brings to mind the great bishops of the fourth century—Basil, Ambrose, Cyril, and the Gregorys—who had a great passion for doctrine and a facility for clear communication. This is a useful, complete, deeply personal handbook to Christian life.”
Preaching & Worship
“It’s shocking that the world has waited so long for a comprehensive, lavishly illustrated, beautiful guide to the Mass. The world holds nothing greater than the rite that was established by Jesus Christ. This book should be among every Catholic household’s prized possessions.”
Philippians, Colossians, Philemon
Theology
“I've had the privilege of visiting the sites associated with St. Paul's works, but the experience was not nearly as vivid for me as my reading of Father Dennis Hamm's commentary. This book lives up to the standard of a series whose volumes have been at once devout, beautiful, erudite, and useful--an extremely rare achievement.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“There's no shortage of good doctrinal material today. But, for the post-Boomer generations, the burning question remains: How do I begin to pray? Peter Kreeft answers that question in a simple, direct way that will reach ordinary unchurched Americans? as well as devout Catholics who have hit a dry spell. This book can be a powerful tool in the new evangelization.”
Apologetics
“So many great initiatives, apostolates, and conversions began with this book. When future historians try to understand the Church in the United States in our lifetime, they’ll return again and again to the pages of Rome Sweet Home. Like millions of other readers (and listeners), I experienced the Hahns’ story — way back when — as an answer to prayers.”
“I’ve been leading pilgrimages for a quarter-century, and I would never dream of going to Rome without this book. It’s rich in history, doctrine, and piety. Papandrea’s Rome is really the only book you need for your tour.”
History & Biography
“How rare it is to find a work of theology that’s both groundbreaking and readable. Guglielmi examines a neglected gift, spiritual motherhood, as practiced by an underappreciated figure of the last century, Catherine Doherty. He provides substantial historical context for understanding both, but the narrative never bogs down. This book will be rewarding for academic readers as well as those who wish to grow in the spiritual life, following the way of a holy and unusual American Catholic woman.”
The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch
World Religions
“David Pinault is fair-minded and charitable, and he draws from a wealth of scholarly expertise and personal experience. He intends to help Catholic readers appreciate the distinctiveness of their faith, especially in contrast with Islam, and he succeeds to a remarkable degree, communicating profound theological ideas with clarity and simplicity.”
History & Biography
“These are the men who taught the world to pray - really pray. They fled to the desert to avoid the crowds, yet drew disciples from everywhere. They still do. They're drawing you and me, right now, to join them in the greatest adventure. Our desert begins in these beautiful pages by Peter Görg.”
Theology
“This is simply the best, most elegant and most lucid account of orthodoxy and heresy in early Christianity.”
