All Christians know his name. Few truly know the man. Saint Francis of Assisi: Passion, Poverty & the Man Who Transformed the Church BRET THOMAN, OFS
Francis of Assisi was not even five feet tall. He was not well educated. And yet he is the one saint commonly recognized as Alter Christus, the “other Christ.” Francis is not just any saint—he’s a saint for everyone, whatever your place or position in life. But do we really know him? Who was this man at his core? What was it that thrust this little man from a little town to the heights of sanctity, into a place of high honor among the celestial court? In this riveting biography, author Bret Thoman accomplishes what few biographers have. He pierces the inner life of Francis, revealing his deepest passions, his unquenchable love for poverty, and his unshakable grip on the core of the Gospel. The life of Francis, so often festooned with spectacle and miracle, is in reality the story of a soul yearning for God in every moment and glimpsing His presence in all creation. If you want to see the hidden life of the greatest saint, if you want to hear his thoughts, if you want to feel the fervor that blazed within his soul, you must read St. Francis of Assisi: Passion, Poverty, and the Man who Transformed the Catholic Church.

A Family Of Saints
Meet the family where the Little Flower took root The Story of a Family FR. STEPHANE-JOSEPH PIAT, O.F.M.
In 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. Paperbound • 5.5 x 8.5 • 464 pgs • 2009 • ISBN: 978-0-89555-502-1 • SKU: 1248 • $28.95

Perfect gift for music lovers! Encounter Christ in the majestic hymns of the Church Real Music ANTHONY ESOLEN
Real Music by Anthony Esolen—and the accompanying CD of 18 hymns recorded by the St. Cecilia Choir of St. John Cantius Church in Chicago—is a comprehensive and fascinating guide, in print and song, to the great hymns of the Church. It shows that, unlike much of what is sung in too many Catholic churches today, good music, “Real Music”, combines great poetry with doctrinally sound lyrics and beautiful melody. Whether at home in your favorite easy chair, or among friends in an informal class at your parish, Real Music will bring you deep into the lyrics and melodies of the great hymns that so magnificently offer praise and honor to God. Real Music is meant to be savored; first by reading Esolen’s masterful explication of the poetic, melodic, and doctrinal elements of a hymn and then listening to the hymn itself on the accompanying CD.

Publisher’s Message Dear Friends, The wisest priest I ever knew told me (and my father before me) that we Catholics must remember to have a personal love for the person of Christ. The Advent and Christmas season is the perfect time to refocus on this. Set aside the craziness of politics, of commercialism, of modern life. Focus, and help others focus, on a personal love for the person of Christ. This is the surest way to Become a Saint. TAN exists for the purpose of helping you become a saint. We do this by making prayer books and resources in beautiful, durable bindings.

New & Popular “...a call to true heroism for the generations to come...” —David Daleiden, The Center for Medical Progress
Racketeer for Life JOSEPH M. SCHEIDLER WITH PETER M. SCHEIDLER
Joseph M. Scheidler has fought for the unborn since the Supreme Court allowed abortion on demand with its 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton rulings. He was the target of a lawsuit brought by the National Organization for Women under federal racketeering laws. Found guilty in 1998, Scheidler triumphed twice in appeals before the Supreme Court in 2003 and again in 2006. Racketeer for Life explains how a former Benedictine monk and journalism professor was drawn into pro-life activism and describes his part in the history of the pro-life movement in the United States. Conversations, protests, and battles with clinic directors, doctors, politicians, judges, media personalities, and even other pro-lifers are woven together in this engaging account of the efforts of Scheidler and other activists to publicize the horrors of abortion, influence legislation, and, ultimately, to save lives. Pro-life work has taken Scheidler around the globe. He’s crossed paths with some of the most famous leaders in recent decades, from President Ronald Reagan to St. John Paul II. Join sit-ins at abortion clinics, take part in rallies, listen to heated debates, and sit in a federal courtroom with one of the most dedicated warriors in the fight for the unborn as he shares his energy, wit, and faith in this engaging memoir.

Read the International Best-seller that European Feminists Tried to Ban! Marry Him and Be Submissive COSTANZA MIRIANO
Wives, be submissive? Really? Well, yeah…and here’s why: It will lead to a more fulfilling marriage and life! In Marry Him and Be Submissive, Costanza Miriano dishes on all the hurdles and difficulties that real women face in dating, marriage, and motherhood. In a series of letters to her closest friends, Miriano offers sage, frank, and hilarious advice on: • Whether to keep waiting to get married (No! Dive in! You’ll never be 100% “ready.”) • How to stop worrying about all the cushy “first world problems” and embrace the true joys of family life (even if it means cutting back on Facebook a little) • What it means—really means—when your husband doesn’t seem to be listening (he’s probably thinking about soccer, but he still loves you) • How to maintain your life after pregnancy (you can’t! It’s over! But your new life will be so much better) • How to get through the day after you realize your kids went out with dirty underwear, or worse, no underwear (hint: wine helps) Miriano boldly, playfully, and profoundly takes the lives and loves of modern women head on, and shows how true marital happiness and holiness is found in submission. And she shows how submission—real, true submission, which is about love, humility, and support—will lead you to salvation. Far from belittling women, it empowers them (and their families) in ways that secular feminism can only dream of.
