The Shock of Holiness

Christian Living

“Holiness is indeed shocking. Pakaluk’s essays provide the shock therapy needed to rouse our hearts to the possibility and raise our minds to the eternal. His pleasing prose and winsome style make holiness so attractive that we feel we’ve been made for it. Which we have. He beautifully conveys both the grandeur and the simplicity of sanctity.”

True Confessions

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Francis X. Maier has brought together authentic voices of those striving to live the Catholic faith. Together, they rise above mere chatter to become a genuine conversation that reveals a deep love for the Church, a sorrow for her sufferings, and a frustration with her leadership. The book provides wise and at times sharp insight into where we are, how we got here, and—most importantly—how to make our way forward.”
