Aquinas On The Four Last Things
$17.95We think of an end as something that comes last, which is certainly the case with the Four Last Things – Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. They certainly do come last, at the end of our lives and at the end of the world. The Church’s great “Angelic Doctor,” St. Thomas Aquinas, reminds us that proper actions are determined by their ends, their ultimate goals or final endpoints. In this sense, an end is an organizing and motivating principle. Becoming increasingly mindful of the death, judgment, and heaven or hell that await us all at the end, should provide for us a new beginning, a beginning of good choices, choices that abhor and reject sin while helping us grown in virtue and closeness to Christ during our brief time on earth. Indeed, there is absolutely nothing of greater importance to each and every one of us than how and where we will spend eternity, enrapt in the unspeakable bliss of the beatific vision of God in heaven, or suffering unspeakable torments within the depths of hell. In these pages, under the guidance of the Angelic Doctor, the hundreds of Scriptural passages and writings of earlier Church Fathers he pulls from, and with current teachings from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we will ask – and answer – questions like these, and dozens more:
* Where is purgatory in the Bible?
* Why should we pray for the dead and to the saints?
* What four special gifts will perfect our glorified bodies in heaven?
* How could eternal punishment for sins committed in our brief time on earth be just?Add to cartOnly 1 left in stock

This Present Paradise
$15.95Decades before Vatican II called for the sanctification of the laity, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity prophetically claimed that holiness is not exclusively the domain of priests and nuns but is truly for everyone.
God created the human soul to be a special channel of His grace on earth and to serve as a unique image of His love. Few saints have spoken to hearts as acutely as St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, who has helped even the busiest, weariest, and most distracted of us create an inner chamber within our souls where we can rest in God s peace and love.
In this tender yet powerful book, author Claire Dwyer takes you on a spiritual journey with this little-known but fast-ascending saint. She shows you how to overcome aridity in prayer and discover ways to bring peace to familial relationships. You will learn how to identify and fulfill the specific mission God has for you and how to draw courage and meaning from the inevitable sufferings you will face.
Best of all, you will learn how to encounter and live in union with God, which opens up a sanctuary of peace within your soul.
The purpose of your life is not something to discover in the remote future. You can begin to live your ultimate end union with the Trinity right now in the secret center of your heart, where the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit already dwell. St. Elizabeth of the Trinity has revealed the way. Read this book, and you will see with new eyes that your eternal destiny is already living within you, in this present paradise.

Church And The Middle Ages 1000 1378
$17.95Few periods of history are more maligned and misunderstood than the Middle Ages-three-hundred years of division, shifting centers of power, and tensions both within the Church and also between the Church and the secular rulers of the time.
In an engaging and easy-to-understand style, historian and author Steve Weidenkopf highlights some of our greatest saints-Francis, Dominic, Anselm, Aquinas, and Catherine of Siena-and dispels nine commonly accepted misconceptions about the era, which was an exciting period of enduring faith, reform, cultural achievement, as well as defeat and division.
With vibrant accounts of pivotal events and inspiring stories of the people who shaped the Church during the eleventh through fourteenth centuries, Steve Weidenkopf provides a clearer picture of an era where critics used events such as the Crusades and the relocation of the papacy to France to undermine the Church. The period also provided the hallmarks of Christian civilization-universities, cathedrals, castles, and various religious orders.
Weidenkopf also chronicles the development of Christian civilization in Europe and explores the contributions of St. Bruno, St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Bridget of Sweden.
In The Church and the Middle Ages, you will learn that:
*Most Crusaders were motivated by piety and service, not greed.
*Heresy was both a church and civil issue and medieval inquisitors were focused on the eternal salvation of the accused.
*The Church preached against the mistreatment of Jews.
*Priestly celibacy was practiced long before the twelfth century.
*Serfs were never kept as slaves.Books in the Reclaiming Catholic History series, edited by Mike Aquilina and written by leading authors and historians, bring Church history to life, debunking the myths one era at a time.

Grumpy Old Ox
$16.95This new children’s Christmas book by bestselling author Anthony DeStefano tells the story of a mean-spirited, prideful old ox who has lost his sight-both physically and spiritually-but who nevertheless experiences the transformative power of God’s grace after he witnesses the birth of Jesus Christ in a humble stable in Bethlehem.
Illustrated by New York Times bestselling artist Richard Cowdrey, this new holiday book teaches children the true meaning of Christmas while also explaining the central message of Christianity: that faith in Jesus leads us to resurrection and new life.
Moreover, it shows the profound connection between spiritual pride and blindness. Like the main character in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, this Scrooge of an ox is a slave to his own anger and crippled by his own coldness. He seems destined to live out his days frustrated, unhappy and alone-until he makes a life-altering decision of faith that brings him the miraculous gift of healing and joy.
This uplifting, inspiring book will delight all Christians, though Catholics especially will appreciate its powerful Eucharistic message. Connecting the manger in the stable, from which the ox eats his food, to birth of the Son of God, the story shows that Jesus is the Bread of Life; that he came into the world to feed the hungry, to restore sight to the blind, and to set free those who are captive to sin.
All of this is contained in a 32-page picture book that is sure to entertain and enthrall children with its adorable rhymes and beautiful illustrations for years to come.

What Catholics Need To Know About Islam
$19.95It is no longer permissible to have an honest conversation about Islam. Those who warn about Islam’s threat to our way of life are dismissed as racists and xenophobes by social elites and even by many in the Catholic hierarchy.
For centuries, the Catholic Church served as a bulwark against Islamic expansion. Today the Church is an enabler of Islam, encouraging mass migration into the West and portraying Islam as a peace-loving religion that has nothing to do with terrorism.
In this highly informative, hard-hitting book, Catholic author William Kilpatrick pulls no punches in courageously confronting the threats posed by Islam. He shows how Muslim activists are employing the same tactics that led to the meteoric rise of the LGBT movement and how they have systematically infiltrated the government, media, business, schools, and even churches.
He explains how Western self-hatred and political correctness makes jihad possible, and he reveals how the media conceals and covers up for atrocities committed in the name of Islam.
In many European countries, you can be arrested for criticizing Islam. Meanwhile, desecration of churches is on the rise, police fear to enter Muslim zones, and London has become the acid-attack capital of the world. Europe is slowly capitulating to Islam, writes Kilpatrick, and the same can happen here if we don’t wake up in time.
Among the many urgent topics covered in this compelling book are:
*Why stealth jihad is more dangerous than armed jihad
*Why you should worry about virgins in paradise
*Why the rise of gender confusion has led to the rise of Islam
*Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?
*Is the face of the migrant the face of Jesus?
*Are Islamic family values the same as Christian family values?

Reed Of God (Revised)
$18.95First published in 1944 and now a spiritual classic for Catholics across the globe, The Reed of God contains meditations on the humanity of Mary, Mother of God. British Catholic writer and artist Caryll Houselander lovingly explores Mary’s intimately human side, depicting Our Lady as a musical instrument who makes divine love known to the world. This refreshed edition is rich and rewarding reading for all Christians who wonder what Mary was really like.
While the Second Vatican Council led to a renewed interest in the theology and person of Mary, Caryll Houselander offered a simple yet profound reflection on the Mother of God almost fifteen years before the council began.
Confronting the static, surreal “Madonna of the Christmas card,” Houselander provides instead an intuitive, warmly human, and approachable image of the Mother of God. Through the central image of a reed that is played for music, Houselander demonstrates how Mary chose to make herself an instrument for the divine plan, giving her inmost being to the proclamation of God’s greatness. In sharing her distinctive vision of Mary, Houselander offers the Mother of God as a model for all people seeking to be instruments of the Divine.
The essays and poems in The Reed of God also reflect on the mysteries of Mary’s life and her impact on salvation history. In the book’s four parts, Houselander explores key events of Mary’s life, including her fiat, finding Jesus in the Temple, and the Assumption, as well as the themes of fruitful emptiness and the eternal search for union with God.

Storybook Of Saints
$18.95Written for children five to eight years old — but a delight for all readers — My Favorite Saint Stories tells about the world’s greatest heroes: the saints.
Focusing not so much on historical details about the saints but on a few memorable events in the lives of each, it is not so much a collection of biographies as a storybook.
As such, the 40+ brief tales in it are not written to catechize children or inform them of the many details we know about the saints; rather, they are intended to awaken in children a deep admiration for those good souls — the kind of admiration children have for King Peter of Narnia or Frodo or Robin Hood; the kind of admiration that sends young children off in a flurry to find a costume; the kind that begins a relationship today that extends into tomorrow, the next day, the day after that, and ever on into heaven, with the saints in eternity.
Here are delightful stories that will spark the imagination of children, move their hearts, and inspire their souls — in a word, lead them to fall in love with the saints.

Our Ladys Wardrobe
$16.95Over the centuries, Our Lady has appeared at many different times and in many different places, but few realize that she almost always appears in quite diverse and dazzling styles of dress.
In these stunningly beautiful pages, best-selling children’s author Anthony DeStefano considers Mary’s distinctive raiment in the various apparitions and elucidates the message she bears in each. By means of these wise pages and their delightful images, children come to understand the main lesson of Mary’s whole life — the need to do whatever her son Jesus tells us to do.
First, children meet Our Lady in Nazareth, poor and therefore not robed in splendor. Next, they encounter her in Heaven, dwelling in an enormous mansion (as is promised by Jesus to all who live there) with an exquisitely beautiful wardrobe. DeStefano engages young readers in consideration of fifteen exterior garments of Our Lady, thereby leading young souls directly into the interior messages of her Immaculate Heart.
Here children will explore the wardrobe and messages of:
–The Blessed Virgin Mary in Nazareth
–Our Lady of Mount Carmel
–Our Lady of Perpetual Help
–Our Lady of Czestochowa
–Our Lady of Grace
–Our Lady of Lourdes
–Our Lady of Fatima

Devil Is Afraid Of Me
$17.95“We can do nothing against you because you are too protected!”
So declared a frustrated host of devils to Father Gabriele Amorth, the priest exorcist in Rome who spent thirty years battling the Devil and his minions by performing more than sixty thousand exorcisms.

Meeting The Protestant Challenge
$15.95Every Catholic has heard the challenge:
“How can you believe that? Don’t you know the Bible says…”
It’s a challenge we have to meet. If we can’t reconcile apparent contradictions between Scripture and Catholic teaching, how can our own faith survive? And if we can’t help our Protestant brothers and sisters overcome their preconceptions about “unbiblical” Catholic doctrines and practices, how will they ever come to embrace the fullness of the Faith?
In Meeting the Protestant Challenge, Karlo Broussard gives you the knowledge and tools you need to answer fifty of the most common Bible-based objections to Catholicism.
*How can the Mass be a sacrifice when the Bible says it’s just a memorial?
*Why do Catholics stress good works when the Bible says we’re saved by faith?
*Scripture says that all have sinned-so what Catholics believe about Mary being “immaculate” is plainly false.
*Jesus said to call no man father, yet that’s what Catholics call their priests! How much clearer could it be?For these challenges and many more, Karlo provides a step-by-step plan for understanding the roots of the objection, breaking down the context and full meaning of the Scripture passages, anticipating followup arguments, and offering your own friendly counter-challenge to help Protestants begin to see how the Bible and Catholic teaching actually coexist in harmony.
Don’t get caught off guard! When the next biblical challenge comes, be ready to meet it with confidence.

Bible Is A Catholic Book
$16.95In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the Church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation.
If you’re a Catholic who sometimes gets intimidated by the Bible (especially scriptural challenges from Protestants), The Bible Is a Catholic Book will help you better understand and take pride in this gift that God gave the world through the Church. We are the original “Bible Christians”!
And even non-Catholics will appreciate the clear and charitable way that Jimmy explains how the early Church gave us the Bible …and how the Church to this day reveres and obeys it.

Priests We Need To Save The Church
$17.95In The Priests We Need To Save the Church, Kevin Wells lays out a blueprint of priestly heroism, calling for today’s shepherds to take the narrow path of self-denial once tread by St. John Vianney, the priest-saint of old, and his own uncle, beloved Monsignor Thomas Wells, who, before his shocking murder, led more than a dozen men to the priesthood and affected the lives of thousands.
It is the day-to-day witness of the sacrificial parish priest that will rescue a Catholic Church in seemingly terminal disarray. Exploring the astounding impact that his Uncle Tommy – thought by many to be a martyr for the Faith – had on so many souls, Wells shows how only the sacrificial and steady work of the parish priest can steer the Church aright, forming it into the holy, fruitful institution Christ intended two thousand years ago.

Abandonment To God
$17.95“I will teach you how you must navigate the stormy seas of the world with the trust and the love of a child who knows that his Father cherishes him and will never abandon him to danger.”
So wrote St. Therese, the Little Flower whose weakness and frailty nevertheless led her to become one of the great lilies in the garden of God.
Few have known the depths of suffering as did Therese, yet even fewer have possessed the deep peace that filled her soul. Now Fr. Jol Guibert, himself steeped in the richness of the interior life, reveals Therese’s secret of serenity: total abandonment to God.
Far from a terrifying surrender to the unknown, this abandonment is rather a total acceptance of the providential love of God, who directs our hearts even in the darkest nights of our lives, without letting us so much as stumble.
Join Therese on this gentle road to sanctity, and turn over your fears, great and small, to the Lord.

Infiltration : The Plot To Destroy The Church From Within
$24.95It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith.
That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.
In this captivating and carefully documented book, Dr. Taylor Marshall pulls back the curtain on their nefarious plan, showing how these enemies of Christ strategically infiltrated the seminaries, then the priesthood, then the episcopacy, and eventually the cardinal-electors all with the eventual goal of electing one of their own as pope.
You’ll come to see that the seemingly endless scandals plaguing the Church are not the result, as so many think, of cultural changes, or of Vatican II, but rather the natural consequences of an orchestrated demonic plot to destroy the Church.
In these gripping pages, you’ll discover:
*How popes of the 1800s discovered a plot to infiltrate the Church
*How theologians suspected of being Modernists became Vatican powerbrokers.
*How modifications in Catholic canon law enabled predator priests like Theodore McCarrick to stay in positions of power.
*How Our Lady of La Salette gave a prophetic warning of the plot to infiltrate the Church.
*How the chief architect of liturgical reforms was discovered to be a Freemason.
*Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s role in exposing the Communist infiltration of the priesthood.
*How the confusing history of the Third Secret of Fatima relates to the infiltration of the Catholic Church.
*That Pope Paul VI explained that Vatican II was not infallible.
*How Pope Paul VI revoked the voting rights of cardinals over 80, thus guaranteeing that all voting cardinals were appointed by him.
*How the criteria for sainthood shifted from a person’s historical acts to his personal beliefs.
*The complex roots of the St. Gallen Mafia and how they plotted to modify Catholic doctrine and elect Pope FranAdd to cartOnly 1 left in stock
