Faith, Love, and Mercy

Christian Living

“Father Roach's Homilies for Catholic Life are much more than that. They are startlingly expressed, scripturally focused, doctrinally sound theological essays on the mysteries of the Catholic faith. They engage the mind and elicit wonder. I tried to read quickly but was quite simply unable, for I repeatedly found myself far too intrigued to skim. Profound but accessible, these reflections offer a signal service to priests searching for something substantive to help them prepare their own homilies.”

The Loser Letters

Apologetics

“This book is a gem. Through letters of advice from A.F. Christian, an enthusiastic convert to the cause of the new atheists, Mary Eberstadt deftly exposes the flaws in their views. Using the lingo of pop culture to hilarious effect, she offers a scathing satire of their question-begging arguments and shows with great wit that they are not just wrongheaded but downright laughable. Yet this spirited defense of Christian faith is also a poignant commentary on what it means to be human.”
