Theology
“C. S. Lewis and Tolkien were not theologians as such, but look what they did for the Christian imagination! In that spirit we have a book of Christian speculative theology by John Pearring, a journalist and fiction writer. What a treat! Read this book and allow your mind to expand with visions of how God might save the animal kingdom in eternity.”
History & Biography
“This book is a stunner. The film Cabrini gave us some images, but here we have the spiritual thoughts of one of the greatest women saints ever. The account in her letters of the dangers she faced with holy abandonment are so inspiring. More surprising, her business acumen and humor. For your own benefit and as a gift to others I highly recommend it.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This sensitive and profound book may become the book that can help you most in your own sufferings or that you can give to others when your own words fail.”
History & Biography
“If you struggle for accomplishment on the road to holiness, Celine is the book for you. We learn from her how to embrace holy childhood. A beautiful book.”
Theology
“Thrilling insights from top leaders of Hebrew Catholics on how a believer can be simultaneously Jewish and Catholic in theory and in practice and how Old Testament concepts greatly influenced Catholic belief. This book will facilitate Catholic-Jewish dialogue, bring about conversions, and promote greater unity.”
Theology
“A beautiful book, beautifully received by the author in prayer. The reader is plunged into the mystery of Mary's co-redemption in an individual manner as our Mother wishes for us. Avoiding the extremes of sentimental devotion or a radical feminist usurpation of Mary, von Speyr's account brings us right into the center of truth. It offers us a bridge between the warm intuitions of our hearts and theological formulations that might sometimes seem cold. Infused mystical theology at the height. Alleluia.”
History & Biography
“How we wish all nuns after Vatican II would have traditional virtues and perennial Catholic wisdom but also be wise, creative, and free spirited. If you are such a reader you will want to read Mother Benedict: Foundress of Regina Laudis to see how these virtues grew amidst the struggles of World War II and how they followed her into the difficult vocation of founding a contemplative Benedictine monastery for women. Antoinette Bosco's account is fast-moving and inspiring.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Written in engaging dialogue form, Prayer the Great Conversation by Peter Kreeft takes you right along with all your doubts and hesitations into the place of freedom, love, beauty, and fulfillment, even in the midst of suffering, where God has always wanted you to be.”
Women
“A terrific group of stories. A must not only for younger people who have lost faith in their childhood Catholic Faith, but also for older Catholics to understand the reasoning both behind the defection of the young and also their intense yearning to find their way back. Thank you Donna Steichen for this gem.”
History & Biography
“This book is a splendid way to get to know better this wonderful model for all people of how to mingle prayer and activity. Her warm, intimate, courageous spirituality will inspire readers on how to be saints in the midst of problems of society and church. Fr. Dirvin's insights help us see the perennial relevance of Saint Elizabeth's wisdom for our own times.”
Fiction
“Snarl is fascinating, imaginative, thought-provoking. Read it yourself and give to others.”
Fiction
“If you, like me, rate Michael O'Brien the best contemporary Catholic novelist of the North American Continent, then you will very likelyalso think that Sophia House is his masterpiece.”
Theology
“Truth and Politics by Fr. Joseph Kucer is a brilliant work. The scholarly acumen of the author succeeds in offering a provocative opening of new avenues of exploration in theology and philosophy concerning issues of the relationship of the church and politics. This book is to be recommended to intellectual Christians as a path to the overcoming of stale polarizations of the past.”
History & Biography
“Two Jerusalems is a ground-breaking book that could change the lives of traditional Jews, Messianic Jews, Protestant Christians, and wavering Catholics. Because it is a narrative from his life vs. an apologetics text, it will reach many who prefer the autobiographical genre. His vivid, rhetorical style renders complicated theological issues understandable. Highly recommended!”
History & Biography
“Bouyer's scholarly mastery of the field of spirituality provides an entrée to a world as enriching to Catholic men as to women. Fascinating and rewarding!”
