The Spirit and Beauty of the Christian Religion
by Viscount de Chateaubriand
François-René de Chateaubriand was a French writer, diplomat, and romantic whose work greatly influenced the French literary world of the early 19th century. Born in 1768 to a wealthy family, Chateaubriand joined the royalist army in 1793 as the French Revolution reached its apex. After being wounded at the siege of Thionville, he was forced to exile himself to London until 1800, when he finally returned to Paris. It was there that Chateaubriand, disturbed by the nihilistic and anti-Christian sentiments brought on by the revolution, penned The Genius of Christianity. In this prodigious work of apologetics, Chateaubriand defends Christianity against Enlightenment attacks, focusing particularly on the ways in which it nurtures and enriches art, literature, architecture, and culture.

by Brother Maria Cassianus Versteeg
This beautifully illustrated book, with its companion, My Picture Book of First Communion, was originally written by a Dutch religious, Brother Maria Cassianus Versteeg, as one among a series of books for children printed by their Orphanage Printing House.
The original Dutch needed a good deal of adaptation during the translation process, so in reconstructing the text, we borrowed heavily from the work of Mother Mary Loyola, who would have been a rough contemporary.
The result is a brief yet comprehensive preparation for these important Sacraments which pairs nicely with the more thorough presentation of the same in the books of Mother Mary Loyola, which were long considered the "gold standard" in Catechesis.

The Theological Notion of the Paschal Mystery
by Fr. Alvaro Calderon
Before the Second Vatican Council, neo-Modernists developed a new theology on Redemption. It characterized Redemption as a paschal mystery centered on Easter rather than as a payment of sin on the Cross. In this critical volume, Fr. Calderon masterfully distills the problems of post-Vatican II ecclesiastical and liturgical theology into four key questions. By doing so, he guides readers through the necessarily dense but important issues concerning the Mass while correcting and refuting modernist errors. His use of Thomistic reasoning demonstrates powerfully how philosophically and theologically flawed the contemporary Catholic Church’s ecclesiastical worldview remains and why its tenets cannot stand up to serious scrutiny.
“The fundamental question of the reform of the Mass is discussed here under three aspects: theological, liturgical, and pastoral. Combining rigorous thought with forceful expression, these essays propose a lucid vision of the current crisis.”—Fr. Álvaro Calderón

A Companion to the Summa
by Fr. Walter Farrell, O. P.
Order the 4 Volume set This magnificent set of four books is an exposition and guide to the entire Summa of Saint Thomas Aquinas. It was written by one of the premier Dominican Thomistic scholars who were active in the scholastic revival of the 1930s and 40s. These books contain the entire Summa transposed into modern English prose, thereby making accessible, for those who are not trained philosophers, the complete theology of Saint Thomas’s Summa.
The composition of these four books matches up perfectly with each of the 614 questions of the Summa. This book is meant to be read alongside the actual Summa in order to make it more easily understood by the average reader.
Volume One - The Architect of the Universe - 408 pages
Volume Two - The Pursuit of Happiness - 412 pages
Volume Three - The Fullness of Life - 462 pages
Volume Four - The Way of Life - 430 Pages
The Author
Father Farrell’s four-part Companion to the Summa has been responsible for much of the renewed interest in Thomism in the United States. It is required reading for many Catholic college students and “unrequired reading” for thousands of other lovers of St. Thomas.
Its author was born in Chicago in 1902. He attended Dominican schools and was ordained in the Dominican order in 1927, then going to the University of Fribourg for his S.T.D. degree. In 1940 he was awarded the seldom given Dominican honor of the Master of Sacred Theology degree. He served as a Navy chaplain during World War II and was then stationed at the Dominican Houses of Studies in Washington, D. C. and River Forest, Illinois until his death in 1951.
Hardcover with dust jacket, size 8.75" x 5.9"
by Rev. Vincent Holden, C.S.P.
Father Holden explains that we have units of standard in weights and measure and without these standards there would be chaos in the market place; he goes on to explain that in a similar way we must have standards of morality - and who will set those standards. “Against that eternal code of Almighty God we measure our actions. Explains why mankind cannot change the moral standard to fit changing times. Thought provoking!

The Reality of The Body And Blood of Christ In The Eucharist
by St John Fisher
Protestants deny the Real Presence, but we as Catholics possess the truth and can present an unassailable defense of it.
Did Jesus Christ, the God-man, truly bestow upon humanity the gift of His Real Presence under the form of bread and wine?
This was the question raised by the Protestants of the early 16th century. Johannes Oecolampadius, a well-known and respected Swiss reformer, was not the first to challenge this fundamental and sacred Catholic doctrine, but he was the first to widely disseminate his views through print.
This book, now available in English for the first time, is Bishop John Fisher's counterargument against Oecolampadius. It offers a compelling refutation of errors and passionately defends the Holy Eucharist based on scripture and 1500 years of Catholic theology.
St. John Fisher's book is even more pertinent today than it was during the Protestant Reformation, as many Catholics are now experiencing doubts regarding Transubstantiation. There is no stronger defense of the Holy Eucharist than St. John Fisher's "De Veritate" when addressing the concerns of Protestants and Catholics in the post-Vatican II era.
This beautiful cloth-covered edition spans over 425 pages and will make a lasting and stunning addition to any Catholic library.
SET SAIL FOR THE GOLDEN CITY TO MEET THE KING!
Now the whole family can join the wise Captain and the young Mariners of the good ship Pax on their perilous journey to the Golden City. By employing the dangers of a long sea voyage as a powerful allegory for the way of salvation, English Benedictine dom. Bede Camm (1864-1942) created an exciting way to introduce young hearts to the joys and challenges of the religious life. It was the author's hope that, "Perhaps indeed [The Voyage of the Pax] may help to develop in some young heart the germ of a nascent vocation."
Originally written to be read aloud, this new audio presentation of The Voyage of the Pax features music, sound effects, and a talented cast of young voice actors to bring dom. Bede's classic tale to life as never before. This presentation is sure to join Mother Mary Loyola’s beloved The King of the Golden City as another family favourite.
