mericans are losing what are supposed to be constitutionally promised rights at an alarming pace. Both a chilling wake-up call and a clear call to action to Christians everywhere, The Liberty Threat illustrates how the rigid separation of Church and state has created a world is hostile to true faith. While the Founding Fathers understood the essentiality of religious practice unimpeded by governmental authority, time and vast cultural change has eroded this from the consciences of modern politicians.

Are Science and Faith really at odds? STEVEN R. HEMLER
A
re we no more than meaningless collisions of molecules? Or do we owe our existence to a Creator, who has willed us (and everything else) into being, and who has a plan and purpose for our lives? The Reality of God addresses these all-important questions by providing an introductory overview of key scientific evidence, philosophical reasons, and insights drawn from human nature demonstrating God’s existence. In simple, accessible language, and well-supported by scientific experts, author Steven Hemler guides the reader through the most compelling evidence for the existence of God. Hemler shows how natural sciences such as biology, chemistry and physics— far from disproving religious belief— suggest and reveal the existence of a Creator at every turn.
“a clear, helpful introduction that is simple without being simplistic.” — Brandon Vogt
Those seeking sound reasons and credible science supporting belief in God will cherish this easy-to-read book. The Reality of God provides: • An opportunity to address doubts about God’s existence • Persuasive reasons for belief • Arguments showing the compatibility of faith and reason • Answers to the evolution vs. creation debate The Reality of God puts forth in layman’s terms how science and the natural world point to God’s existence. Anyone seeking answers to life’s deepest question will find in author Steven Hemler an indispensable guide. SKU: SB2184 • ISBN: 978-1-61890-218-4 • HARDCOVER • 5.5 X 8.5 • 192 PGS 2015 • $22.95

Journey through a treasury of well-known fables and folk tales and discover the wisdom hiding within them. In an age that rejects the moral absolutes and repudiates the whole idea of intrinsic evils, children’s literature restores the meaning of good and evil.

The ultimate Baptism gift!
F
irst Steps is a baby journal with a unique, refreshing spiritual focus. It encourages families to cultivate and record a child’s “journey of faith and parish life,” from birth and Baptism all the way to First Reconciliation.
Parents fill the book with photos and answers to questions about the significant events and developments in a child’s first seven years. As they do, they are prompted to consider the child’s significance as the fruit of their love; the meaning of Baptism as the child’s “spiritual birthday”; signs of the child’s spiritual growth, year by year; and the critical role of parish life in raising the child in the Faith. Beautifully designed and illustrated, First Steps makes a perfect gift for the birth or Baptism of a child. Its emphasis on parish life makes it especially attractive as a pastoral gift on those occasions. It provides Catholic parents a thoughtful, faithdeepening way to tell the story of how a child came to grow, not just in age, but in grace.

n 1976 when Fr. Jorge Bergoglio was just 39 years old, the military overthrew the government in a coup. The dictatorship went to work against subversives and communist adversaries through abductions, tortures, and even murders resulting in the disappearance of about 30,000 people. Scavo uncovers how Bergoglio built an elaborate network consisting of clandestine passageways, secret hideouts, and covert automobile rides, all in attempt to save what has been estimated at more than 100 people.

JOSEPH PEARCE
JOSEPH PEARCE
Hilaire Belloc is one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. At turns reviled or revered, depending on the audience, he was a razor sharp social commenter and a master of both poetry and prose, who continues to captivate readers. In Old Thunder, Joseph Pearce examines Belloc’s enduring impact on British intellectual life. Updated with a new introduction by Dale Alhquist.
J. R. R. Tolkien’s magnum opus, The Lord of the Rings has been beloved for generations. The immense cultural impact of this epic is undeniable, but the deeper meaning of the story often goes unnoticed. Here, Joseph Pearce uncovers the rich—and distinctly Christian—meaning just beneath the surface. Make the perilous journey from the Shire to Mordor with Frodo, while Pearce expertly reveals the deeper, spiritual significance.

The Book of Judges records the Israelites’ descent into sin and the terrible consequences. The 12 heroes of the book seem larger than life but they were imperfect, just as we are, which makes this book just as relevant today. Judges is a stern reminder that God punishes sin but is always ready to forgive the repentant sinner back.

Enter the mystery of the Mystical Body of Christ Ephesians Short Study 10 Lessons Many say that there is no other New Testament epistle that expresses Christian truths in such a majestic way. The instructions to husbands and wives in Ephesians 5:21-33 is a topic of much confusion and consternation in modern times. Find out how this challenging teaching is not only liberating, but is a portrait of the Church’s participation in the life of the Blessed Trinity.
Study Book.......... Item No. SS0285................ $19.95 3 DVD Set............ Item No. SS0284................ $49.95 Excerpt: Christology, Cosmology, and Eschatology The Letter of Paul to the Ephesians has, as its theme, the mystery of Jesus Christ. It focuses upon his Incarnation and its effects. This means that the “mystery of Christ” as it’s expounded by St. Paul in Ephesians, refers not merely to the mystery of the person of Jesus Christ, but even more to the mystical body of Christ, the Church. In this study, we are going to see how the Church relates to Christ, to the entire universe that the Father has redeemed through the Son, and to the glorious plan of God that will be consummated at the end of time. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is a meditation upon the mystery of Jesus Christ as it’s lived out in the body of Christ, and readers are led into the most profound depths of Christology (the study of Jesus Christ himself), cosmology (the study of the cosmos), and eschatology (the study of Last Things).

BIBLE STUDIES Discover the gospel of the Old Testament The Book of Isaiah Program Study 26 Lessons St. Jerome likened the book of Isaiah as the gospel of the Old Testament because Isaiah prophesied more about the Messiah than any other book in the Old Testament. He also described in great detail the blessings of the future kingdom of the Messiah. His coming would be as a lion bringing the day of God’s wrath, but first He would come as a Savior who would die for the sins of the people. Isaiah focuses on the salvation that will come through the Messiah. Some examples include Isaiah, chapter 9, where we’re told that the Messiah will one day rule in justice and righteousness; the eleventh chapter states that during the reign of the Messiah there will be peace and safety for Israel and according to Isaiah 42:6 and 55:4, through the Messiah, Israel will be a beacon of light to all the nations. The Messiah’s kingdom on earth (Isaiah chapter 65-66) is the goal towards which all of the Book of Isaiah points. Leader Package..... Item No. SS0053...............$139.95 4 DVD Set............

Excerpt: God’s Forgiveness Isaiah prophesized during one of the worst times in the history of Israel. The Israelites had become extremely corrupt. Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. In verse 18 the Lord invites the people to “reason together,” as in a dialogue or even a courtroom setting. First, the people need to recognize that their sins are like scarlet or crimson. These red colors are chosen to imply that the sins are like shedding blood and discolor the clothing of the perpetrator. However, the Lord can transform their sins into a whiteness like snow or wool. Such a promise shows the power of the Lord’s forgiveness in the soul of the sinner.
