$19.95Add to cartIt’s no secret that there is an abundance of so-called Christian sects populating a wide range of churches, with different worship services and teachings regarding the salvation of your soul.

They will help you answer questions such as:
*What is a “church,” and does man define the term differently from how God defines it?
*Did God intend to create an unlimited number of churches with differing beliefs and practices?
*If Jesus Himself created the Church, by what authority does man invent his own churches?
By what process did so many and varying churches develop?

Cultural Meltdown : The Secular Roots Of Our Moral Crisis
$24.95Add to cartIn this incisive work, Bill Donohue pulls no punches as he contends that our moral crisis is a reflection of two competing visions of morality – one religious and the other secular. The former is grounded in our Judeo-Christian tradition, the latter in radical notions of liberty and equality that are tearing us asunder.
Donohue explains how the religious vision acknowledges belief in God, truth, human nature, natural law, moral absolutes, and Original Sin. It understands the limits of the human condition and thus rejects the notion that human perfectibility can be realized on earth. The secular vision believes none of this, and its adherents are bent on destroying the last vestiges of our religious heritage.
Weaving together examples from the earliest centuries to the Enlightenment to modern times, Donohue seamlessly lays out how to restore our moral code so that the mainstreaming of madness is terminated and rolled back. You will find answers about:
*The immorality of legal decisions and their after-effects
*The connection between freedom and truth – and the secret to their restoration
*Whether all cultures and civilizations are morally equal
*The balance between individual rights and the common good
*The importance of natural law and reason in guiding society
*What is filling the void of secularization (You will be shocked!)Additionally, Donohue exposes religious bigotry toward Christians in America and sounds the alarm for governmental accountability since free speech is no longer tolerated when it opposes the approved narrative. The secular vision, he further attests, embraces and promotes radical ideas about sexuality that work to the detriment of individuals and society. Donohue explains how accepting the postmodern, sexually decadent views of “intellectual visionaries” has historically led to violent chaos in other cultures – and may well do so again.
Donohue probes the deep-seated animus that secular intellectuals hold against Western civilization -the United States in particular – and concludes that many have simply given up on their utopian dreams and turned to anarchism and nihilism. He stirringly reveals how their deeply flawed vision of man and society is the source of what ails us and how we will have to recapture our religious roots to restore normalcy. There is no third way.

Power Of Reparation
$18.95Add to cart“The world will be saved when we have a sufficient number of souls devoted to reparation and not before.” – Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J
The great Jesuit Fr. Raoul Plus lived and wrote in an era of immense suffering – war, early death, religious indifference – that coexisted, not surprisingly, with robust Catholic faith and practice. He called for spiritual maturity before greater scientific advancements.
In this spiritual masterpiece, Fr. Plus explains every facet of reparation for individual penitents and offers simple, practical ways you can help repair what is falling into ruins in our Church and in our world. You will find inspiring answers to all the key questions about reparation, including:
*What reparation is and why it matters
*Why everyone should make reparation
*How reparation should be made (and what to avoid!)
*Why devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Holy Eucharist are vital to reparation
*Why our Lord wants reparation to be the foundation of Christian livingFr. Plus’s work is replete with compelling anecdotes that illustrate how developing a spirit of reparation is critical to advancing spiritually. Fr. Plus provides rich insights and examples from our Lady and saints who lived lives of sacrifice, including John the Evangelist, John Vianney, Mary Magdalene, Margaret Mary, and several modern saints.
Through a dozen scriptural passages that Fr. Plus unpacks, you will learn the theology behind reparation and how to teach it to others. You will also learn how to develop a spirit of reparation according to the circumstances of your life, how to compensate for the sins of others, and why spiritual direction is advised for discerning the types of reparation most suitable for you.
Above all, you will experience the Call of the King to discover the path that leads to the ultimate goal – joy with the Lord in the afterlife. Each page invites you to enter into Christ’s Heart by sharing in His work of redemption, even in the most seemingly insignificant ways.

After Christendom
$18.95Add to cartWe are living through the greatest catastrophe since the fall of the Roman Empire. Western civilization isn’t dying: it’s already dead. Christendom is no more. What we see around us now isn’t Christian. It’s not even a civilization. It’s a walking corpse.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that the West can be reborn someday. We know this because it died once before. Who brought it back? The mystics, the martyrs, and the missionaries. Now they must save the West once again.
In this prescient work, Michael Warren Davis examines just how bad the situation is and how much worse it’s going to get. He weaves together examples from history and literature to illustrate how societies fell and how various saints helped them rise again. Throughout, he reflects on the transformative power and benefits of persecution and suffering to show how Christians can survive and indeed flourish in the new Dark Age that’s descending.
These penetrating pages will help you move from a “Culture War” mindset to one of answering the Great Commission. You will learn how to form intentional Christian communities to ward off spiritual isolation and come to understand what St. Augustine, the chief architect of Christendom’s first renaissance, taught about why God allows the City of Man to fall in the first place.

*The only weapon in your arsenal (can you guess?)
*What role laughter played in the early Church’s victory
*How to attain xenitia, the first stage of spiritual development

*How drawing from Eastern Christianity can help renew our culture againAbove all, you will find out how you can respond to the crisis of the early twenty-first century with the wisdom of the ages – to testify to your Faith, help restore beauty, and cultivate authentic love in the modern world. For, according to Davis, every Christian has a role to play. All are called to share their faith person-to-person to help rebuild the Church, and once again the tears of mystics, the sweat of missionaries, and the blood of martyrs will become the seed of the Church. Despite the darkness, by imitating their witness, you will find unshakable peace and joy in the face of what is to come.

Great Campaign : Against The Great Reset
$21.95Add to cart“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo,” says Samwise Gamgee. “Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”
Many have likened the past few years to a dystopian novel or a thriller movie due to unprecedented oppression, violence, loss of rights, and weaponization of science and technology at the hands of powerful people with dark intentions. It’s coming into ever-clearer focus that the unified, global pandemic response – the forced lockdowns, vaccine and mask mandates, fear-filled media coverage, and restrictions on public worship – stripped citizens of their civil liberties and transformed our society.
Leaving no stone unturned, award-winning film producer and human rights activist Jason Jones incisively lays out a full-scale campaign against this “Great Reset” to help equip you with the armor to protect and defend yourself, your loved ones, and all those vulnerable to the antihuman designs of global elites who have demonstrated a propensity for trampling basic human rights to achieve their one-world vision. Jones exposes the stealth tactics of the Great Reset leaders and reveals what they really mean by their “build back better” and “you’ll own nothing and like it” slogans. Reflecting on historical precedents dating back to biblical times, Jones sounds a red alert and offers a plan for pushing back against the political, Church, and corporate apostasy still unfolding around us.
The incessant fear-mongering and propagandizing by the radical reformers, Jones explains, is undermining the health of the nation and robbing young people of their ability to reason and experience authentic love. But we can reverse course, he argues, and the time to do so is now.
In this prescient work, you will find examples of people – past and present – who heroically model ways to overcome the mightiest walls of resistance. You will learn:
*The five “ideologies of evil” that constitute a genuine pandemic (You will be shocked!)
*Three forgotten aspects of piety that need restoration
*How victimization has made victims of us all
*The secret to living the gospel and avoiding cooperating with evil
*Practical ways to strengthen families and communities through subsidiarity
*Why the right to private property is essential to preserving human dignityThrough the lens of the Gospels and classical thin

Discovering The Camino De Santiago
$14.95Add to cartAfter the Holy Land and Rome, Santiago de Compostela draws more pilgrims than any other place in the world. For the first time for English-speaking readers, a priest-pastor chronicles the month-long life and times of a pilgrim on this storied walk. In an account both profound and delightful, Fr. Greg Markey relates the challenges he endured and the consolations he enjoyed along the much-celebrated Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James).
Fr. Markey’s peaceful journey along the five-hundred-mile trail – Web-free, phone-free, and television-free – generated an astonishing array of brief but potent spiritual reflections. Then forty-one years old, Father did not conceal his priesthood, choosing on the contrary to wear the traditional Roman collar. And, unsurprisingly, the fruitful conversations that resulted with pilgrims were reflective, sometimes serious, comforting, and practical.
Throughout his arduous trek, as recounted in this book, Fr. Markey displayed both a keen mind and a pastoral heart. His mission was successful but not without incident, as he encountered a wide variety of Christians and unbelievers struggling or lost in personal crises, some reflecting upon great loss or rediscovering Christ as the focus of their lives.
There was plenty of private time along the trail as well. Fr. Markey gleaned spiritual lessons for himself and his flock, to whom he wrote, and he chronicled them in a journal. Through his life-changing witness, you will discover:
*Stories of searching souls who were touched by a word of faith or a small gift
*Life lessons from the physical difficulties and temptations he endured on the Way
*How God unexpectedly speaks to us in our need through His Word and through others
*Why the Camino is a metaphor for life and the ways in which it attunes the soul to Divine Providence
*The encouraging bond that exists between Catholics from all places, ages, and walks of life
You will also learn about the fascinating life of St. James the Greater and miracles of his intercession – including more than twenty interventions on the battlefield – as well as the discovery and authentication of his relics. Pope Benedict XVI’s 2010 homily at Santiago Cathedral is also featured.
“If there is a powerful lesson on the Camino, it is that I am no longer in control; and just when I have no more strength and no more options, He catches me, reminding me He is ultimately in control.” – Fr. Greg Markey

Hidden Power Of Silence In The Mass
$18.95Add to cartIn this game-changing book, Fr. Boniface Hicks, O.S.B., reveals how you can actively listen and open yourself to receive God’s personal love for you in the Mass, where our Lord waits to quench your deepest longing and heal your wounds. Drawing from the wisdom of the saints, modern-day spiritual giants, and his own penetrating reflections, you will learn how to quiet your mind, stretch your heart, and become childlike in the sense of experiencing the sacred mysteries with wonder and awe.
The Mass, as most Catholics are aware, consists of words and gestures through which the Church worships the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit. But as far fewer Catholics know, the periods of silence are more than pauses or empty spaces, as Fr. Hicks explains. They are beautifully textured with prescribed prayers spoken quietly by the priest, meaningful images such as incense and chalice veils, and expectant faith ready to surrender or receive from God in particular ways. Learning how to attune our hearts to these silences can greatly increase the fruitfulness of our reception of grace at Mass.
In these soul-enriching pages, you will explore the various textures of silence in general, the ways in which silence affects your interior life, and how silence can draw you into more intimate prayer. You will also find:
*How our Lady is the supreme model on how to cultivate active and receptive silence
*The secret to settling slowly into silence, relaxing, and entering into an inner dialogue with God
*Tips on how to commune with God in your heart and on practicing lectio divina
*What St. Benedict teaches on developing silence in prayer, speech, activities, and thoughts
Fr. Hicks further guides you through each of the nine silent (secreto) prayers of the priest, the silent gestures in the Mass, such as the use of incense and the unveiling of the chalice, and the intentional periods of silence, including during the Liturgy of the Word and after receiving Holy Communion.
You will discover the pattern through which divine life came to earth and how the fire of Christ’s merciful love comes to the soul. Moreover, you will come to understand how your physical silence at Mass fosters your spiritual silence and becomes an “act of love” through self-offering, adoration, communion, and resting in the inexpressible mystery.
Each chapter includes reflection questions designed to foster group discussions so parish members can reflect on and grow together in

Restoring The Lords Day
$18.95Add to cartModern society has forgotten that the joie de vivre and the liturgical life are intertwined. Drawing from his experiences growing up in the Catholic culture of New Orleans, author Daniel Fitzpatrick juxtaposes the beauty of taking time to celebrate the Faith with the ongoing cultural drift toward eliminating the Sabbath. The result is a book that will awaken Christians from their spiritual sloth and enable them to appreciate the Lord’s Day more deeply as a means of attaining happiness – in the here and in the hereafter.
Fitzpatrick masterfully breaks open Scripture, philosophy, psychology, and literature – from Homer to Dante, from St. John Cassian to Evelyn Waugh – positing that we have become Pharaohs within, consumed as we are with anxiety and work. The lines for commerce on Sundays, he points out, stretch out further than those for Holy Communion, while inertia blankets us and idleness saps us of our vitality and zeal.
Through his fresh insights and contemporary examples, you will discover:
*How to honor the Lord’s Day and reclaim the freedom to truly worship God
*Three aspects of the noonday devil’s approach, and how to recognize and defeat them
*Five ways to reorder your Sunday activities to restore Sabbath festivity and holiness
*How the Holy Eucharist strengthens and enlightens us on our journey to Heaven
*Techniques for cultivating the silence of contemplationAdditionally, you will see why Aquinas, Augustine, and the Desert Fathers identified acedia as an obstacle to advancement in the spiritual life – a sin against the Lord’s Day that often leads people to experience Sunday as a day of anxiety. You will also see how one comes to neglect the dignity of the human person and risks falling prey to immorality when one loses sight of what is holy. Conversely, you will see how living a holy family life, particularly on Sunday, trains us for the heavenly banquet.
Fitzpatrick also explains how the liturgy is meant to be celebrated in light of the writings of Pope Benedict XVI and other spiritual authors, and how it invites us to partake of the true “heavenly festivity” here on earth while preparing us for everlasting joy with God in Heaven.

Satan : The Tempter’s Existence In The World And Nature
$19.95Add to cartOne of the most diabolical lies of all time is that the devil doesn’t exist. When we lose sight of the reality of the devil’s existence, our souls are in peril because we become defenseless in a battle we don’t even realize is being fought. The opposite view can also be insidious, as is increasingly clear in our age of rising obsession with the allurements of evil and the occult.
In this preeminent collection of more than thirty historical, literary, philosophical, and
psychological essays from esteemed authors, the nature and role of Satan are exposed, and the highest card he has to play against the world is revealed. This classic compendium is divided into five sections: “Satan’s Existence and Nature,” “The Place of the Devil outside Christianity,” “Possession and Diabolism,” “The Devil in Art and Literature,” and “Deicide.” Through these themes, you will learn how to discern when and where the devil is lurking, and ways to avoid his snares. You will also discover:*How precisely the evil one leads us into temptation and sin
*Three remedies against the devil’s tactics according to St. John of the Cross
*Ways St. Teresa of Avila was victorious over the enemy’s lies and “flies”
*How pagan religions view evil and demonic influence in the world
*How the greatest deceptions and evils enter the soulIn addition, you will see what the Scriptures, Church Fathers and other spiritual writers –
including many saints – said about the devil’s existence and ploys. You’ll be absorbed by fascinating true stories from those who were possessed and delivered from evil spirits and by mysterious phenomena from dream demons, to pseudo-possession, to the Church’s view of witchcraft throughout history.Moreover, you will discover the connection between body, mind, and spirit in cases of possession and oppression, as well as the role of medicine in determining whether a person is authentically possessed. You will also observe how even in situations where an individual is not possessed, Satan may be working to hinder that person’s health and happiness. Above all, you will see that amid the darkness, there is hope. While we must always be on guard against the enemy’s snares, victory is ensured when we take refuge in Christ’s Precious Blood.

Unveiling The Sixth Station Of The Cross
$18.95Add to cart“Convert us, O God; and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:3).
Although many are familiar with the Holy Face Devotion, key fruits and wonders remain untold, and various of its most important spiritual treasures have yet to be discovered – until now.
In these extraordinary pages, Mary Jane Zuzolo unveils for you how this devotion is prefigured in the book of Job, complements Fatima and other Marian apparitions, encompasses the spirituality of St. Therese, crowns the insights of the great Carmelite mystics, affirms the Mariology of St. Louis de Montfort, and has generated more miracles than the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Words of Christ from approved private revelations describe the Holy Face Devotion as “the most beautiful work under the sun” and “the greatest source of grace second to the sacraments.” Zuzolo further reveals:
*The Miracle of the Vatican, in which the Holy Face image became enlivened, serving as catalyst for the related wonder-working at the hands of Ven. Leo Dupont.
*The woman in the Gospel who was designated by Christ in private revelations as the model of reparation to His wounded Countenance – and whose “reward” prefigured that which He promises for devotees of the Holy Face Devotion.
*How reparation to the Holy Face relates to the Holy Sacrament of the Altar and is complementary to the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy devotions.
*How St. Joan of Arc was the forebearer of the Holy Face Devotion in her dramatic assistance of the preservation of Catholicism in France.
*How the Holy Face Devotion serves as an antidote to communism and modernism.
The Holy Face Devotion, Zuzolo explains, was bestowed by Christ “as a new pledge of mercy.” Its graces flowing though “Our Lady of the Holy Name of God” and its preference by God to all other devotions together give the affectionate title “Mother of All Devotions” dual significance.
In our time of heightened sin and darkness, the Holy Face Devotion is a means of imploring the Countenance of Christ to “turn toward us” and restore life and light to the world through conversion of the masses. Unlike any other, the Holy Face Devotion is centered on reparation to the Godhead Itself. In recompense, Our Lord promises to imprint His Image, the very “seal of the Divinity,” upon the soul of the devotee. Practicing this devotion is therefore an invaluable aid to our individual salvation, as well as that of our brethren. It is spiritual armament

Interior Life Of Saint Ghomas Aquinas
$14.95Add to cartMany are well aware of St. Thomas Aquinas’s intellectual prowess – his genius in metaphysics and supernatural theology that pierced the depths of truth. However, few know about the private spiritual life of this illustrious Doctor of the Church. This work, written by Msgr. Martin Grabmann, a foremost authority on Aquinas, is unique in its telling of the holiness of St. Thomas’s priestly soul.
Neither a purely devotional nor a strictly scientific treatment of the interior life of St. Thomas, this book combines the two to help you appreciate the character of the Angelic Doctor. Through St. Thomas’s own words, you will come to understand how and why he learned more at the feet of the Crucified One than from the innumerable books he read.
In this revealing book, you will gain insights into Aquinas’s heart through his works and the acts of his canonization process. Msgr. Grabmann highlights three areas in the saint’s interior life: wisdom, charity, and peace. St. Thomas asked God that he might think like Christ, love like Christ, and be at peace like Christ, so his soul and actions were ordered after those of Jesus Christ, and his writings on intimacy with God flowed from his own experience of this communion.
St. Thomas spent his life in contemplative prayer, study, writing, and preaching. It is said that he began his writings with prayer and was often moved to tears. Through testimonies about the Angelic Doctor, you will learn about his untold mysticism and discover:
*The secret to developing fervent charity and attaining spiritual delight
*The threefold wisdom in which St. Thomas found the meaning and happiness of life
*Thomas’s exemplary purity and temperance and how he ordered his whole life toward God
*His self-sacrifice, kindness, and charity and why he was called the Cherubim of the Eucharistic mysteryRevered as one of the greatest thinkers of all time, St. Thomas also possessed the faith of a child. You will be astounded by the true stories of his humility and patience in instructing beginners in the spiritual life and the mercy and compassion he extended to others.

Detransition Diaries
$18.95Add to cartWe live in unprecedented times, when what was known for thousands of years, that we are created male and female, is now up for debate. It is now controversial to see that sex is binary, that a man can never become a woman, nor a woman a man, and that men should not enter women’s sports, women’s bathrooms, and women’s prisons, merely for saying that they are a woman. We are witnessing a rapid rise in gender confusion among young people, especially among young women and girls.
The Detransition Diaries is both personal and historical. It is personal in that it recounts the stories of five women and two men who felt they were born in the wrong body and believed the lie they were told by peers, teachers, and medical professionals that they could be their “true” selves by medically and surgically altering their bodies to match the opposite sex. Their stories describe the short- and long-term harm that so-called gender-affirmative medicine did to their mental and physical health. The book is historical because it outlines the history of the “gender-affirmation” movement, including the various individuals and organizations who have peddled the idea that the sexual binary is arbitrary.
The book closes with an analysis on how this dark chapter in medical abuse might end and what is needed for medicine to regain its obligation to do no harm.

Our Ladys Prophecies
$17.95Add to cartWhen Servant of God Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres received her famous apparitions – the Quito apparitions – from Our Lady, she was so appalled that she died. A doctor confirmed her shocking death. But thankfully, when her sisters prayed, she was raised to life again.
Here James Valois masterfully recounts the stunning prophecies of Our Lady of Good Success of the Purification, which, though they occurred four hundred years ago in the capital city of Ecuador, concern the current crisis in the Church and the world. Approved by Bishop Salvador Ribera Avalos in 1611 and by every bishop in Ecuador since that time, these apparitions are for our era.
The relevance of many of these prophecies to today’s events, spoken, as they were, about what would begin in the twentieth century and spill over into the twenty-first, is remarkable. Their gripping messages foretell the radical changes in customs and the disturbing state of our modern world that we are facing.
Our Blessed Mother’s enlightening words to Mother Mariana de Jesus – a humble nun renowned for her holiness – bear similarities to the prophecies of Our Lady of Fatima. Although some of the portents are alarming, the promises of hope shine through the darkness of our current crisis.
Our Lady’s revelatory words pierce to the heart of our present state of affairs: the attacks on the Church from without and within, targeting the sacraments, the priesthood, and the family. You will be enthralled by:
*A heart-pounding apparition of Our Lady and the Infant Jesus, amid a storm at sea
*The reasons why three swords of punishment would be unleashed in the twentieth century
*Five mysterious meanings of “the apparition of the extinguishing of the sanctuary lamp”
*Revelations of God the Father’s love and encouragement for His children
*The “ineffable joy” of the Blessed Mother’s care and intercession
*Details of the Great Crisis and profanations foretold – some fulfilled and others yet to occurAt such a dark hour, it may appear that all is lost and Christian civilization has ended forever – but this is not the case. Mother Mariana de Jesus offered her life as a victim soul; the miracles and mystical graces won through her heroic life, and the spiritual phenomena she experienced, continue to result in marvelous transformations of holiness today. Above all, Mother Mary’s messages are a call for conversion and renewal and for defenders of the Faith to arise in the face of cultural opposition, join

Guidance In Spiritual Direction
$19.95Add to cartSpiritual direction is a vital aspect of the priestly ministry. It launches souls on the road to Heaven and keeps them oriented as the pathway becomes narrow and steep. Everyone – from the pope to the most innocent of children – needs spiritual direction.
In these rich pages, Msgr. Charles Hugo Doyle shares wisdom and practical advice on the process that holds rewards not only for priests but for lay faithful as well.
As Fr. Edward J. Hogan of St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore observed when the book was first published in 1958, “There are countless souls ripe for sanctity, full of generosity and desire, and needing only the expert advice of a divinely ordained doctor of souls to advance toward sainthood. Yet how often they remain unattended!”
Fr. Hogan observed that some Catholic priests hesitate to engage in spiritual direction and to reap the harvest of saints it can produce because they suffer from “a feeling of inadequacy and of lack of the requisite knowledge for so sensitive an undertaking.”
This is why the famed Msgr. Doyle wrote this book. He guided a generation of priests in the time-tested methods of spiritual direction and even today serves as a guide for lay Catholics who want to progress in holiness but have yet to find a spiritual director of their own.
In one timeless volume, Msgr. Doyle lays out the classic principles of Catholic spirituality and distills advice from saints who were commonly regarded as the greatest spiritual directors of their time. You will discover:
*The art of maintaining a devotional spirit all day long
*How to advance through the “spiritual stages”
*The stumbling blocks to genuine meditation
*Seven brief prayers that can increase your devotion at Mass
*Eight indicators that you are growing in holiness
*Ten proven methods to advance in virtueYou will also find ways the devil tries to disrupt you on the path to holiness and how to effectively battle the seven deadly sins. Additionally, you will learn about the danger of scruples, how to overcome them, and how to replace fear with a childlike trust and confidence in God.
St. Vincent Ferrer, the great Dominican saint, said about spiritual direction, “A person who has a director by whom he allows himself to be guided . . . will more easily and quickly arrive at perfection than he ever could by himself.”
This book is a must for every serious Christian’s spiritual library.

Many faithful Catholics greet God and give Him thanks and praise when they arise in the morning and retire at night. How they stay connected with Him and the Faith throughout the day, however, varies widely. Many forget that He is right there to call upon whenever the need or impulse arises.

Jozef Murgas patented a form of wireless telegraphy, made the first wireless voice transmission, and gave away his secrets to allow for the development of radio.

New Scientific Evidence For The Existence Of God
$18.95Add to cartHere is the book you need to challenge atheists and agnostics to defend their ideologies logically and rationally and to fortify your own beliefs. In this distinctive book, which draws from all fields of science, Jose Carlos Gonzalez-Hurtado presents a preponderance of empirical evidence for theism in a way that you can easily understand and explains how atheism twists reality to justify its view by “selective skepticism.”
This thoroughly documented incisive work will strengthen your view of the existence of God,
regardless of your beliefs about evolution or lack of religious affiliation. Gonzalez-Hurtado explains how the majority of mathematicians and scientists who are remembered for remarkable discoveries in mathematics, physics, quantum mechanics, chemistry, cosmology, biology, and more were theists – and he provides many of their accounts. In these enlightening pages, you will find:*How the Second Law of Thermodynamics, cited by Albert Einstein as the most important, points to God
*Answers about the Big Bang Theory, evolution, and other much-debated questions
*How NASA explorers confirmed the standard cosmological argument
*Ways in which mathematical theorems, statistics, and probabilities indicate God’s existence
*Twenty constants that allow us to exist, and seven aspects of St. Anselm’s ontological
*argument for God*How St. Augustine’s words were verified by science
In addition, Gonzalez-Hurtado illustrates why string theory and multiverses are best left for
Hollywood movies, how verified results in cosmic microwave background and other observations verify the creation of the universe, and how multiple attempts to support the “theory of the bouncing universe” are disproved.Although the science behind a Necessary Being is irrefutable, a small but vocal number of
scientists refuse to accept the evidence. Some oppressive regimes have gone so far as to persecute or kill those who espouse cosmology, but Hurtado exposes these crimes and debunks their illogical thinking.You will learn the difference between creationism and Intelligent Design and what it really means to live by Darwinian laws. As even Stephen Hawking admitted, “The universe has not always existed; on the contrary, the universe, and time itself, had a beginning with the Big Bang.”

Paths Of Evil
$18.95Add to cartConspiracies and secret societies exist because man, wounded by Original Sin, is inclined to evil and his social nature leads him to unite with other men in carrying out evil plans. With typical precision, historian Roberto de Mattei navigates us through this gloomy labyrinth of evil amid congiure, conspiracies, and plots – terms often used as synonyms but which, through their semantic and conceptual differences, can each assist us in understanding better the hidden dimension of the history of the past five centuries.
While the Italian term congiure indicates secret agreements limited to a few people and aimed at killing a sovereign or a political leader, often in the context of a power struggle, conspiracies are projects with a much broader scope that seek to overthrow the constituted order. The golden age of congiure and political assassinations runs from the poisons of the Renaissance to the 1700s. Then, with the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, an age opened in which the traditional congiure was bolstered by the development of conspiracies of an ideological and political character.
The plot, on the other hand, is an elusive, hidden agglomerate of which neither the identity of the protagonists nor the concrete operative means are revealed. Professor de Mattei posits that the contemporary plotting spirit we see today – from the Aquarius conspiracy, to the reptilians, to the Great Reset, to the virus pandemic – has nothing to do with the study of anti-Christian secret societies, which has always been part of historiography and Catholic apologetics but, in fact, plays into the hands of those intent on the psychological, intellectual, and moral destabilization of the West. In these fascinating pages, you will discover:
*Whether sociopsychological criteria are enough to formulate a conspiracy theory
*What famous political minds such as Niccolo Machiavelli believed about conspiracies
*How fabrications of plots by individuals such as Catherine de’ Medici led to bloodshed
*The cruelest epoch in history and its aftershocks in the schemes of secret societies
*The role of the occult in plots and conspiracies, and its relationship with revolution
*Solutions to avoid becoming lost in the matrix of evil and lies in modernityUltimately, you will find how to differentiate between true and false plots and to discern how some conspiracies lead to heresy and insidiously attempt to destroy Christianity. By reading this book, you will be equipping

Why We Think What We Think
$19.95Add to cartWe’re all starting to hear people ask how the world has gotten to be the way it is. Grafted onto the usual complaints about why people are so greedy, self-absorbed, and callous toward one another are new expressions of frustration about even more fundamental concerns. Why can’t we agree on concepts that used to be basic common sense? Why does our very language now seem to be a minefield that only the most wily and tactical (or cynical) among us can navigate?
The only way to understand fully how we have arrived at this state – and what, if anything, we might be able to do about it – is to embark on a journey back in time to see where we went off the rails. With candor and occasional humor, Dan LeRoy tells the sweeping story of Western thought from its beginnings to the present, revealing the souls and idiosyncrasies of its greatest thinkers. Through stirring vignettes, he tells the real story of how our customs and thought patterns developed and then relates it to our current moment of rupture.
In pages that sometimes read like an Indiana Jones adventure, LeRoy explains the detour that philosophy took nearly a thousand years ago that has led Western society to its current, dire situation. With sharp pen and clear eye, he reveals:
*The roots of classical philosophy, including empiricism (Ready to wade into the water?)
*How views on ethics and morality began to take shape even before Christ
*The three ways to attain happiness, according to the Big Three philosophers
*Four splinter groups and how their philosophies impact us today
*The enduring teachings of Sts. Augustine and Aquinas, among many othersYou will find out about amazing discoveries during the early days of rationalism, from mathematical equations to intervals between music notes, and how this universal ratio applied to another scientific revelation. Along the way, you will see the relevance of famous (and infamous) beliefs, including the Realm of Forms, the Four Causes, and Pascal’s Wager as well as dualism, humanism, materialism, and pantheism. Additionally, you will learn about how these ideologies provided the basis for modern-day politics, education, and belief in the transcendent, and the bridge between ancient philosophy and Christianity.
LeRoy unveils the ways in which the beliefs our society has largely abandoned still affect our everyday lives. Knowing why we think what we think is the only way to recover the ideas – many of them Christian in origin – tha

Heavens Currency : A Study Of Love
$18.95Add to cartHeaven’s Currency: A Study of Love is the third book of Dr. Paul Chaloux’s best-selling trilogy on the great mysteries of life (along with Why All People Suffer and Dying without Fear). This eye-opening work explains how the mysteries of love, suffering, and death are synergistic and critically important in leading us to God and Heaven. Dr. Chaloux shows us that the Church’s teachings on the Four Last Things (death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell) and the last day gives us hope and the perspective that God has our best interests at heart and will extend His love and mercy to all those who seek to follow Him in good faith. With suffering as his principal focus, Dr. Chaloux dives deeply into the underlying reasons for painful times and debunks common misconceptions that often result in applying false attributes to God. Moreover, he presents the various ways people experience love in their lives, oftentimes in unexpected ways, and shows how they ultimately lead to salvation. He recounts real-life stories of those who experienced brokenness and found healing and joy through God’s love, even in moments of great distress.
This study of the mystery of divine love explains the nature of love and how it is manifested in seven relationships known to us since antiquity. It shows how all these ways that we love have their foundation in charity, divine love, and depend on God for the spark that we all see when a friendship turns to love. Heaven’s Currency explains that love is a capability to be grown, not a commodity to be accumulated – and, hence, it increases rather than diminishes with use, and it can be lost forever if we choose not to share it. Jesus used parables, the Beatitudes, and the Commandments, as well as His life, Passion, death, and Resurrection, to teach us how to love divinely with sufficient intensity to share in His eternal life. Through the teachings of St. Paul, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Therese of Lisieux, and other saints, you will discover how divine love (or charity) is the true currency of Heaven. It emanates from God and is indeed the only thing that can be shared by both the living and the dead and that endures even beyond death.
In Heaven’s Currency, you will discover:
*How all love in infused into us by God, to be shared as widely as possible
*How to recognize God’s love in our lives, even in times of distress
*How sharing God’s love with others is part of God’s plan for us and is the source of our happiness
*How St. Thomas d
