A FAMILY OF SAINTS

Meet the family where the Little Flower took root FR. STEPHANE-JOSEPH PIAT, O.F.M.

n her Story of a Soul, St. Therese relates how influential her family life was in forming her spiritual life. Now, the canonization of her parents Louis and Zelie and the cause for the beatification of her sister Léonie speak volumes for the robust sanctity of the Martin family.

The Martins took no smooth path to sanctity. They endured the loss of four children, financial troubles, and the cancer that caused Zelie’s death. The key to their success was simply this: love. With love, they endured both great sorrows and the countless little troubles of everyday life. This is the story of a husband, wife, and five daughters who formed a close-knit, thoroughly Catholic family. Their lives set an example for anyone who seeks to raise a family in love, and to live the Faith in daily life. SKU: 1248 • ISBN: 978-0-89555-502-1 • PAPERBOUND • 5.5 X 8.5 • 464 PGS • $28.95

Dear Friends, In light of the atrocious Supreme Court ruling legalizing so-called gay marriage, we at TAN want to combat this absurdity by giving you the stories of two great marriages, filled with laughter, joy, prayers, and ultimately eternal happiness. The Supreme Court needs to read these books. I am grateful to our Holy Father for canonizing Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux. This is the first married couple to be canonized together. Our official biography The Story of a Family on page 7 gives an indepth look at a family of saints. We can, if we only willed it, create such a family at home. There is no better model in the modern world for living a joyful life in the face of evil than the great G.K. Chesterton. I want TAN to take on the spirit of this giant man, filled with piercing insight and deep holiness, but overflowing with joy. TAN Books is now the exclusive book publisher of the American Chesterton Society, founded by my friend, Dale Ahlquist. One of the first fruits of this partnership is The Woman Who Was Chesterton, a biography of Gilbert’s wife, Francis. Chesterton famously said, “Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline.” Read this book and find out why. Also check out the many other Chesterton Society books on pages 66-67, such as Jousting with the Devil: Chesterton’s Battle with the Father of Lies. As Christians we have no excuse to walk about with gloomy spirits. Let the Martins and the Chestertons be your guide to a more joyful family. God bless you and your families.

Discover the woman behind the man! NANCY CARPENTIER BROWN

his is a love story. But it is also a detective story. And best of all, it is a true story, told here for the the first time. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a romantic, a writer of detective tales, and a teller of the truth. His own story and the stories he told are becoming better and better known. But what has remained unknown is the story of the most important person in his life: his wife Frances.

Nancy Carpentier Brown has done incredible detective work to uncover the mystery of Frances, tracking a figure who managed to leave very few traces of herself. It is quite likely that as more is discovered about Frances, more biographies will be written of her, and they will be even more complete. But they will all come back to this one. - Dale Ahlquist, from the Foreword “This vivid and splendidly researched study of Frances has long been needed, but it is also of major importance for the light it throws on her grateful husband in the warm domestic setting which significantly extended his life.” —Aidan Mackey, Senior Fellow, Chesterton Library, Oxford “Nancy Brown has shown us the great woman who was Chesterton, and she is someone you’ll find yourself both delighted and intrigued by. Brown introduces us to a woman who’s amazing in her own right, but who also played a large part in who G.K. Chesterton was.” —Sarah Reignard, author and blogger, SnoringScholar.com, Patheos.com SKU: AC4783 • ISBN: 978-1-505104-783-4 • PAPERBOUND • 5.25 X 8.25 266 PGS • SEPT 2015 • $16.95
