Thomas Howard

Fiction

“Written with beautiful prose, a great pleasure to read. The prose is in the service of immense themes -but always in the context of a skillfully handled and greatly moving human drama. A gigantic, and splendid, piece of work.”

Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic

Theology

“David Currie has written what may turn out to be the work on this nettlesome topic of Evangelicals being received into the Catholic Church. With great charity and lucidity, he pursues every conceivable topic - biblical, ecclesiological, theological, and historical - that arises in the discussions on this matter.”

Branches to Heaven

History & Biography

“Professor Como is an enormously astute critic, and a scholar of immense integrity. This is a different book on Lewis. It has a substantial thesis, which is worked out with a dexterity that is a sheer pleasure to read. It is not another panegyric by a votary. It belongs on the shelf of serious twentieth-century literary criticism and scholarship.”

Catholic Christianity

Theology

“Peter Kreeft's work is: 1) unfailingly brilliant 2) intellectually agile 3) astonishingly perspicacious 4) gloriously orthodox 5) Chestertonian-ly aphoristic. Buy and read this book, and be instructed and delighted.”

Catholic Literary Giants

Arts & Literature

“One is agog at the sheer 'achieve of the thing', as G.M. Hopkins would put it. Mr. Pearce covers the entire waterfront and more here. We have come to expect vastly astute, fair, generous and perspicacious work from Pearce, and this book crowns everything that he has written thus far.”

Crossing the Tiber

Apologetics

“A very moving and astute story. I am enormously impressed with Ray's candor, courage and theological literacy.”

Do No Harm

Fiction

“This is serious fiction with prose that is clean, strong, and worthy.”

El regreso a casa el regreso a Roma (Spanish Rome Sweet Home)

History & Biography

“Me impresionan profundamente la integridad, el valor y la inteligencia que marcan el peregrinaje de estos do cristianos a medida que van respondiendo con generosidad a todo cuanto reivindica la antigua perenne Iglesia.”

Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word, Vol. 1

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“These reflections on Matthew open out onto such staggering vistas of radiance - or shall I say rather, penetrate to such mother lodes of treasure - that one is brought to a halt, over and over: rebuked, instructed, illuminated, and searched.”

Heart of the Christian Life

Preaching & Worship

“In these collected talks we find, one might say, the quintessential Benedict. Those who have read his Jesus of Nazareth, The Spirit of the Liturgy, or other of his works, will recognize here that amazing concord which he always achieves by bringing effortlessly together sound biblical scholarship (he ranges easily over Law, prophets, Gospels, and Epistles), deep love for the Eucharist, and an unflagging pastoral tone which addresses us laity in language that we can grasp. The selections are brief, hence the volume offers readers very accessible "devotional" reading.”

Heaven's Calling

Christian Living

““What we have here is the courageous, candid, and intense witness of a woman whose experience of God has asked, quite simply, everything from her. In chapter after chapter, readers will see what wholehearted obedience to God may cost His servant. It is an extraordinary tale.”

How to Go from Being a Good Evangelical to a Committed Catholic in Ninety-Five Difficult Steps

Theology

“I expect that this book may turn out to be the definitive text (short of the Fathers only!) for evangelicals who are prepared to address themselves courageously to the ecclesiological question. Smith's writing is brisk, starkly clear, challenging, and exhaustive (not exhausting!); he leaves no stone unturned. This is the best book I've seen on the topic.”

Into the Region of Awe

“One does not commonly think of finding C. S. Lewis in the ranks of 'mystical' writers--Evelyn Underhill, Baron von Hügel, Meister Eckhart and company. But David Downing has probed, with great skill (and fidelity to Lewis's own vision) the works which we all know, and has opened up to us a fresh appreciation of this component in Lewis's writings. . . . Downing's prose style is worthy of his topic.”

Literary Converts

History & Biography

“In Literary Converts, Joseph Pearce has scrutinized this roster of converts and found in it such names as Ronald Knox, R.H. Benson, G.K. Chesterton, Christopher Dawson, and many more. Catholic believers will be immensely heartened, and Christians (or others) who are not Catholic, are bound to find the whole thing vastly intriguing, if not positively convincing. Highly recommended.”

Looking For The King

Fiction

“The subtitle of this book is "An Inklings Novel." That claim might seem presumptuous at first. But lo--it is an Inklings novel. My own guess is that Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams would all be mightily pleased with it. All three of them, as it happens, figure as characters in the story, which is Arthurian, but set in the contemporary world--very much in the vein of That Hideous Strength and War in Heaven. The Inklings themselves are flawlessly depicted, as are the two protagonists, a very appealing young man and woman. All Inklings lovers will be highly delighted.”

Nacido Fundamentalista, Nacido De Nuevo Catolico

Apologetics

“David Currie ha escrito lo que puede llegar a ser la obra sobre este tema espinoso de los evangélicos que son recibidos en la Iglesia Católica. Con gran caridad y lucidez él toca toda cuestión imaginable—bíblica, eclesiológica, teológica e histórica—en cuanto a todo lo relacionado con este tema. Los lectores encontrarán lo que ha escrito, creo yo, como ineludible.”

Reason and Imagination in C. S. Lewis

Arts & Literature

“Peter Schakel brings to C. S. Lewis scholarship what has often been lacking, namely rigorous scholarly method and real critical detachment. His study of Till We Have Faces' is a major contribution to Lewis studies.'”
