Musings on a Starry Night

Arts & Literature

“I have counted myself a Howard groupie, good friend, and even semi-expert, but I had no idea he had written such a splendiferous plethora of gems. Howard loved and embodied great charm and grace, but he also embodied something of another order: great faith, hope, and charity.”

My Apologetics Dinner Party

Apologetics

“My Apologetics Dinner Party serves us two things even more delicious than the dinner: an extended Socratic dialogue and a popular but persuasive apologetic for the crucial and controversial claims of Mere Christianity à la C. S. Lewis. Rarely has profundity been so clear and so much fun.”

Narnia and Beyond

Arts & Literature

“AT LAST! A book about C.S. Lewis that doesn't sound like a term paper, a book that is a joy to read, a book written with Lewis's own passionate power with words. Mercurial magic. A feast for the spirit. Without question the best book yet written about the works of C.S. Lewis.”

No Turning Back

History & Biography

“An amazing, captivating story. The power of Jesus and Mary move through this story like the power of a 10-foot Pacific wave.”

On the Edge of Infinity

History & Biography

“Michael O'Brien is, I believe, the greatest living Catholic novelist, so it is high time someone wrote his biography. Fortunately, Clemens Cavallin is up to the task. The story is clear, comprehensive, compassionate, and character-driven. There are not many people in the world who are more worth meeting than Michael O'Brien.”

Pondering the Permanent Things

Arts & Literature

“Most of these essays are about the rich and paradoxical relationship between the two things Tom loved most: Christ and culture, holiness and art. Howard loved and embodied great charm and grace and gentlemanliness, but he also embodied something of another order: great faith, hope, and charity.”

Prayer Primer

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Of the many books written on prayer, Prayer Primer is unique. Father Dubay is a master on this subject. It is a rare gift to have a simple primer written by such a man. It is utterly sound, trustworthy and practical.”

Reason and Imagination in C. S. Lewis

Arts & Literature

“This book is what Lewis scholarship ought to be. It is the most thoughtful, careful Lewis study yet.”

Rome Sweet Home

Apologetics

“One of the beautiful and bright-shining stars in the firmament of hope for our desperate days is this couple, the Hahns, and this story of their life and their conversion.”

Sophia House

Fiction

“Michael O'Brien is a superior spiritual story teller worthy to join the ranks of Flannery O'Connor, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and C. S. Lewis.”

Subverted

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Here are two books, two stories in one. The first opens your heart, the second opens your eyes.”

The Apologetics of Joy

Apologetics

“This is a unique piece of scholarship, the only book I know of that is wholly devoted to the most interesting argument in the world. It's clear and persuasive, and I strongly recommend it.”

The Appalling Strangeness of the Mercy of God

History & Biography

“I have never read a more beautiful and touching book - a book about a joyous life and overpowering death, and grief and joy. Michael and Ruth Pakaluk's account of love and grief towers head and shoulders above the justly acclaimed accounts of C.S. Lewis in A Grief Observed and Sheldon van Auken in A Severe Mercy. Throughout, I felt in my heart that Ruth is a marvelous saint for our times. " - Michael Novak, Philosopher, Author, and Diplomat p> "In this book you will meet a truly wonderful person. There are few things in life more precious than that. I invite you to meet a warrior for life whose pen is truly mightier than death's sword.”

The Death of a Pope

Fiction

“If you love the Catholic Church, you will probably love this book whether or not you love a good story. If you love a good story, you will probably love this book whether or not you love the Catholic Church. But if you love both the Church and a good story, you will certainly love this book.”

The Evidential Power of Beauty

Science & Faith

“This is as complete a theology of beauty in one simple volume as I know, uniting Christian theology, modern science, and daily experience—a sort of von Balthasar for the masses. It vastly expands our understanding beyond 'aesthetics', and shows us how nearly right Keats was in saying 'Beauty is truth, truth is beauty.'”

The Face of God

History & Biography

“The Face of God is an exciting, incredible detective story spanning twenty centuries. The suspect is nothing less than the greatest art treasure in the universe, but not made by human hands: the literal face of Jesus Christ. The Manoppello cloth is a standing miracle, equal to the Shroud of Turin and the tilma of Guadalupe, and equally open to scientific investigation and unrefuted by it. If I were an atheist, I would not be able to sleep until I had exposed everything in this book as a scam.”

The Fool of New York City

Fiction

“Michael O'Brien is a superior spiritual story teller worthy to join the ranks of Flannery O'Connor, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and C.S. Lewis.”

The Immortal in You

Philosophy

“A fascinating journey of intelligent exploration into the greatest and most mysterious thing in the universe: yourself, your nature, and your destiny. This is far and away the best book I have ever read about the nature of mankind as far as natural reason can know it. On a scale of 1 to 10, I have to give it a 12.”

The Lighthouse

Fiction

“Michael O'Brien is a superior spiritual storyteller worthy to join the ranks of Flannery O'Connor, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and C. S. Lewis.”

The Mind and the Machine

Apologetics

“Whether human minds are machines is a central question not only for philosophers and scientists but also for the future of our culture and of the human race itself. This book is clearer, fairer, more helpful, and more reliable than 99 out of 100 others on the subject. Its author knows both halves of his book's title very well.”
