False Mercy : Recent Heresies Distorting Catholic Truth
$19.95For most of his teaching life, Dr. Christopher Malloy has been correcting common, often widely accepted falsehoods, misunderstandings, and half-truths spread inside the confines of the Catholic world. Distinguishing between what Catholics must believe to be saved, what they can accept as unsettled, and what they must reject, he makes clear that both Catholic tradition and Sacred Scripture are under continuous assault. Therefore, it’s imperative to develop in yourself the traditional habits of mind.
In this brilliant exposition of doctrine, rivaling those of Chesterton and Belloc, Dr. Malloy uses a rich variety of Catholic documents and catechisms to explain specific modern heresies, how they cropped up, and the actual Church teachings they seek to undermine. In the process, he shows:
*How Catholic teaching has been indirectly undermined and eroded by modernists
*How to hone your defenses against any opponent ? no matter how officially “Catholic” ? who denies, distorts or dilutes Catholic teaching
*How to identify real development of doctrine so that smooth-talking theologians can’t so easily palm off heresy as “development”
*Why the heresy of “doctrinal evolutionism” is the key to understanding the current Church crisis
*Why Hell is not just an empty threat, as some modern heretics suggest
*How you can respond to the leading intellectual wolves without getting lost in the weeds
*Why the Church has been hemorrhaging believers for decades

Prayer : The Great Means Of Salvation And Perfection
$15.95Proclaimed a Doctor of the Church and justly revered for his efforts and achievements as a pastor and bishop, St. Alphonsus offers here one of the most powerful and accessible primers on the art of prayer ever written.
The graces necessary for salvation cannot be obtained from God except by prayer, explains the legendary eighteenth-century saint and scholar. Indeed, the damned have been lost precisely through their failure to pray, and all the blessed have been saved by their perseverance in prayer.
Unbeknownst to many, mental prayer is the only weapon sufficient to overcome every assault of the devil. Prayer is a port where we are safe in every storm, and a treasure that provides us with every good. It is only through the reflection and meditation of mental prayer that we come to know eternal truth, identify the hidden sins that keep us from salvation, and gain the inspiration of holy thoughts, desires, and resolutions.
With St. Alphonsus’s wise and holy advice, you’ll learn not only how to master the art of mental prayer, but also:
*How to becomes docile and tender to the influence of grace
*Why God permits you to be assaulted by your enemies
*Why the grace of salvation is not a single grace but a chain of graces linked with that of final perseverance
*The key to developing confidence in your prayers
*The three reasons God delays granting you perseverance
*How prayer overcomes worries about being saved
*How souls in Purgatory can serve as spiritual aides for you
*The critical differences between mental prayer and devotional prayer
*Key prayers Alphonsus himself offered and his specific recommended daily aspirations
*What the ancient Church Fathers determined was the single most useful prayer exercise
*The ideal place, time, duration, and posture for prayer

Diary Of An American Exorcist
$21.95Exorcist Msgr. Stephen Rossetti has a very active caseload of demonic possessions, and in each case two vivid lessons consistently emerge: demons possess or harass people in a myriad of ways (even when they do not enter a body), and they are defeated decisively by the power of Christ and His Church-and especially by invocations to the Blessed Mother.
In these pages, Msgr. Rossetti gives us an inside look at the intense experiences of an exorcist. He shares, without hype or varnish, what it is like, on a daily basis, to face demons who revile, threaten, and sometimes spiritually “wound” him. He describes the healing power of Christ for the possessed and for the exorcist, and reveals amazing moments when Christ and His Church visibly triumph over Satan. The reader is afforded a unique glimpse into the world of angels and demons, and the struggles of the possessed and those who minister to them. In this stunning, edifying, true diary of an American exorcist, you’ll learn:
*What demonic possession is, and is not
*Common tactics of Satan and his typical lies
*How God protects exorcists
*The difference between strong and weak possessions
*The hierarchy of demons (not all are equal)
*What it’s like for an exorcist to face Lucifer himself
*Why demons choke people
*How demons fear and hate one another tooAdd to cartOnly 1 left in stock

Millennial In Paradise
$17.95In each generation, heroes of the Faith, whom the Church recognizes as saints, emerge. There are many characteristics that they have in common, but none thus far have used cell phones, played PlayStation video games, or searched for information on Google.
That is about to change.
A young “computer geek” named Carlo Acutis, who created a website cataloguing every reported Eucharistic miracle in the world and died of leukemia a year later at age fifteen, was beatified in November 2019, after a healing miracle in Brazil was attributed to his intercession. Since the beatification ceremony one year later, solemn crowds have been filing past the exposed relics of the blessed youth in Assisi’s Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
Carlo is a sign of contradiction in the modern world who serves as a heroic model for today’s young people-a teenager who programmed computers and enjoyed films and comics yet lived as an authentic and sincere disciple of Christ. In these pages, you’ll discover how he embraced the Faith as a boy and developed the virtues necessary to live a Christ-centered life in a secular society, how he overcame the vices that plagued him, and how he gracefully dealt with heartaches he could not divulge even to his parents.
When he developed leukemia, he offered his suffering both for Pope Benedict XVI and for the Catholic Church, saying: “I offer all the suffering I will have to undergo for the Lord, for the Pope, and the Church.” In this surprising and inspiring book, you’ll also learn:
*How Carlo became holy, in only a few short years
*The young man’s unusual loneliness and how he dealt with it
*His strategy for resisting peer pressure
*How he had fun without losing control and learned to resist gluttony
*How he interacted with teen girls who became his friends
*Why his explanations about the Mass are used in today’s catechism classes in Italy
*How he dealt with friends who were sexually promiscuous and what he told them
*How he responded to the shocking news that he was dying (which happened two weeks later)
*His remarkable Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition-made possible by his computer skills-that is now touring churches all over Europe

Contagious Faith : Why The Church Must Spread Hope, Not Fear, In A Pandemic
$19.95Even by the most unrestrained estimates, the Covid pandemic never approached the lethality of the Spanish flu of 1918. Yet the effect that our fears, amplified by the mass media, had on society were infinitely more debilitating.
In times such as these, our Christian faith has always offered hope and strength. But this past year was different. The reservoir of Christian belief was drained to dangerously low levels, and many Christians succumbed to the epidemic of fear.
In this clear-eyed book about the real Covid crisis, Philip Lawler dissects how Church leaders and the faithful responded to this health emergency. He explains the devastating effects on society when Church leaders tell their people not to attend Sunday Mass, and when they ban Confession, marriages, and baptisms. He tackles the dangerous consequences of treating schoolchildren like lepers and explores the ethics of vaccines and the plight of parish priests caught in the middle.Best of all, Lawler reveals how faithful Catholics responded to major crises in previous centuries and calls on today’s Christians to display the same courageous faith that once offered hope to a fearful world – one that radiates inner peace, confidence, and hope in times such as these.
Epidemics may come, wars may rage, and governments may teeter and fall, but when our eyes remain fixed on the Lord, we will know serenity and draw souls to Christ. Our hope and courage will be contagious, and our society will be saved from the death spiral into fear, hatred, and despair that we are witnessing.

Libertys Lions : The Catholic Revolutionaries Who Established America
$19.95Without Catholics, there would have been no Revolution – and no America.
This is the fascinating story of Catholic heroes who, despite discrimination and persecution, saw the promise of America and sought to fight for its independence.
Some of these Catholic heroes were Americans, like the three Carroll brothersmof Maryland who included Charles, the longest-lived signer of the Declaration of Independence, John, America’s first bishop, and John Barry, one of the founders of the U.S. Navy.
Other heroes were foreign-born: Frenchmen like legendary generals the Marquis de Lafayette and the Comte de Rochambeau, as well as Polish soldiers such as Casimir Pulaski, the founder of the U.S. Calvary, and the daring Thaddeus Kosciuszko. All were inspired by their Catholic faith to join the Revolution and its call for human freedom and dignity.
Yet despite the prohibitions on Catholic worship, the forced loyalty oaths, and “Pope’s Night” demonstrations, George Washington played a pivotal role in allowing these Catholic contributors to shine during an era of intolerance.
For all who are passionate about the Catholic Faith and the American experiment, Dan LeRoy’s Liberty’s Lions is a book you won’t be able to put down.

Under Siege : No Finer Time To Be A Faithful Catholic
$21.95Decades as a Christian leader – most notably at the U.N. as president of the Center for Family & Human Rights – have earned writer Austin Ruse, once a Washington liberal with little faith, his share of defeats and triumphs. Perhaps most valuably, he has intuited keen tactical insights from his confrontations with the dark side of human nature. You come away from this groundbreaking book with the sense that Ruse knows the enemy better than the enemy knows himself.
Ruse carefully examines how the anti-Christian forces gained power over every elite institution in America. He exposes their most deviant plans for the future. He then issues his authoritative call to arms, brilliantly arguing that there is no finer time to be a faithful Catholic. God Himself called each of us to live in this time and place, to contribute to the renewal society and the Church, and to vanquish the enemies of civilization.
Ruse argues that each of us is called specifically to this battle and he provides a roadmap for fighting the major challenges American Christians now face. He identifies the vulnerabilities of the Leftists who appear so dominant today, and he pinpoints Catholicism’s most potent sources of resistance.
More than anything, Ruse argues that, as dark as these days seem to be, future generations will look upon this generation with envy that they could not have been here with us in these dangerous times when everything seems so lost.
Ruse lays it all out in these simple, balanced pages. The best days could be ahead for us, but only if we accept – and stick to – this plan to rebuild Christendom.

Biblical Way Of Praying The Mass
$15.95We love the Mass. We know it to be, as Vatican II teaches, the “source and center” of our Christian life. But we also wish we prayed it more fully, more from the heart, that we benefitted more from it, that it blessed our day more deeply. At times, its prayers, hymns, readings, even the Consecration and Communion, seem, more than we wish, to pass us by without touching our hearts in the way we desire. Two hundred years ago, a dedicated priest, Venerable Bruno Lanteri, shaped a biblical way of praying the Mass that transforms presence at Mass into a true prayer of the heart. For each part of the Mass, Venerable Bruno chooses a biblical person and invites us to live that part of the Mass with his or her sentiments. In this book, Father Gallagher shares this rich approach to praying the Mass. Chapter by chapter, he explores each biblical figure and how his or her heart reveals a way to pray the corresponding part of the Mass. Each chapter includes spiritual exercises that prepare the reader to pray that part of the Mass. Images from classic Catholic art provide a visual accompaniment to these exercises of prayer. This book help you pray the Mass from your heart-and no greater gift can be given in the spiritual life.

Our Ladys Picture Book
$16.95In this charming book, DeStefano introduces Catholic children to well-known images of the Blessed Virgin Mary by giving children a peek into her own personal “picture book.” Over the centuries, Our Lady has been the subject of thousands of works of art that depict her as an advocate of sinners, a protector from harm, and a powerful intercessor with her Son. Our Lady’s Picture Book highlights Mary’s unique role in salvation history by explaining some of her most famous titles of honor, including: Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our Lady of Loreto, Our Lady of the Assumption, Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady, Mother of Mercy, Our Lady, Queen of Peace, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. When children read this book, they will not only be captivated by its exquisite images, but will also learn to ask Our Lady to intercede for them with Jesus at all times and in all circumstances. Indeed, Our Lady’s Picture Book is actually a beautiful, book-length prayer to the Mother of God. Together with Our Lady’s Wardrobe, it will give children a magnificent yet simple introduction to the main purpose of Mary’s life-to love and serve Jesus Christ and to lead others to do the same.

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.

$17.95The Spider That Saved Christmas tells the tale of what happened to the Holy Family on their way to Egypt after receiving the message of the angel. When Joseph, Mary, and Jesus are in danger of being discovered and harmed by Herod’s murderous soldiers, a cave-dwelling spider named Nephila risks her and her children’s safety to help her hallowed visitors.
Majestically illustrated by artist Randy Gallegos, EWTN host Raymond Arroyo’s moving story sheds new light on a family of Golden Silk Orb Weavers, whose silk is considered the most precious of all and is displayed at Christmastime in the sparkling tinsel that glints from evergreen trees the world over. After reading this book, you’ll always remember Nephila in the twinkling tinsel. Though small and feared, she met divinity and reflected His light as only she could.
Like each of us … she was there for a reason.

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?

Family Examine
$4.00The Family Examine is a beautifully illustrated story book. Full color.
This short story book is actually a prayer, not a story. Based on the Ignatian Examine, The Family Examine will take our family through this powerful mediation, together. Along with prompts for the examine, each day also features the incredible art of Jen Olson, which depicts an image of the Holy Family. Therefore, the Holy Family is your real guide through this powerful exercise.
As we worked on this book, here is how I dreamt this book would be used:
A parent grabs the book and sits down on the couch. Kids snuggle in. The family makes the sign of the cross and then the parent open the book and reads the opening prayer. Now the family begins the Examine together. On the first page they pause and silently become aware that God is present. Next, the family recalls and shares one beautiful thing they experienced. Next, each person shares a way that they felt love today, and then sorrow and finally grace. Maybe not everyone will share for each topic, but together the family will recall the way God worked in their life that day.
The book concludes with a prayer for your family.
It’s simple and beautiful. And the art on each page will inspire you as you recall they way God was present in your day.

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.

You’ll find out what his exorcism room looked like, and how various devils responded to his bold practice.

Among the many questions Father Amorth answers here are:
-How can we recognize the action of the Evil One?
-Can a person in the afterlife enter spiritually into a living person?
-Which prayers of liberation are the most successful?
-What are the four methods a demon uses to enter souls?
