Great Gifts Are you really called to die for her? Marry Her and Die for Her COSTANZA MIRIANO
Man up, because Costanza Miriano is back in Marry Her and Die for Her. Guys, if you thought you were off the hook after Costanza’s first book Marry Him and Be Submissive, you’ve got another thing coming. Now, she’s here to challenge you and give it to you straight about the many ways in which you must die for the woman you love. (But don’t worry… she has plenty of reminders for the women as well.) Inside, Miriano provides insight into what women want from men, and how husbands can “die” for them and their families every day, including: • Remember how much your wife liked flowers, compliments, chocolates and romantic dates when she was your girlfriend? Guess what? She still does. • The old saying goes: “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” Never mind that…just lead! The other two are not options. Democracies are fine for countries—some of them— for families, not so much. • You know how tired you feel sometimes (all the time)? Get some rest. You need it! (We thought you would like that one.) • Be there. Turns out the old saying is true…showing up IS half the battle. • Oh, and lest we forget…if you haven’t done so already, Marry Her! Miriano doesn’t just dole out advice; she comes bearing gifts as well. Chief among them are the gifts of sword and shield—the shield to defend your wife, children, even your free time once in a while; and the sword to cut away all that is unhealthy and destructive in your most important human relationship. And, oh yes, she encourages men to return to, or start anew, a life of prayer. A man who knows Christ knows true sacrifice and so will be better able to truly “marry her and die for her.” Hardcover • 5.5 x 8.5 • 280 pgs • March 2017 ISBN: 978-1-61890-694-6 • SKU: 2645 • $24.95

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.

New From Anthony Esolen
It’s hard not to like our only word that rhymes with Cupid… Angels, Barbarians and Nincompoops…and a lot of other words you thought you knew ANTHONY ESOLEN
Similarly, it’s hard not to love this book, which employs a diverse cast of characters ranging from C.S. Lewis and Emily Dickinson to Lily Munster and the Great Pumpkin to reveal the historical, hilarious, and even holy origins of the words we use, even though many of us have forgotten what they mean. Join Professor Esolen on this fun yet educational romp through 98 of your soon to be favorite words. • Learn how and why (to say nothing of when and where) to properly use the word “drunken.” (Hint: not to relay the fact that…“The bridegroom’s mother has drunken a whole bottle of champagne, and is now drawing flowers on the floor with her lipstick.”) • Appreciate why you don’t want Lily Munster to dust your furniture…at least not in the King’s English. • And seethe, along with Esolen and other lovers of beauty in language and liturgy, when you see how a mighty angel of God is reduced to the status of a mere messenger boy through bad word choices. Again and again, you’ll find yourself agreeing with Esolen, who, channeling his inner Boris Badunov (Bullwinkle the Moose’s nemesis, for the philistines and millennials among you), reminds us that “ Eees good to know grammar. Eees delight, to play with style. Eees, no?” Yes, it is! And it also edifying to see just how rooted our language is in the Christian faith, as rooted as once was our culture. Esolen’s delightful tour of the English language and its roots gives us a window into our shared heritage that sadly we’ve largely forgotten. We won’t tell you what the word referenced in the first sentence above is… but don’t be it. Buy this book. You’ll be glad you did.

“Meditate continually on the passion of Jesus.” —St. Bonaventure The Passion PAUL THIGPEN, PHD
In this devotional treasure, you’ll find forty daily reflections on the passion and death of Our Lord. Each day’s reflection—suitable for Lent or for any time of the year—includes a scriptural text, a meditation, a brief prayer, and an excerpt from the visions of two celebrated Catholic mystics: Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824) and Venerable Maria de Agreda (1602–1665). In these reflections, you’ll watch with Jesus as He prays in the Garden of Gethsemane… grieve beside Him as He stands trial…climb with Him on the way to Calvary…mourn with His Blessed Mother at the foot of the Cross. You’ll also ponder the roles of other figures in this sorrowful drama: not only Mary, but also Peter and Judas, Herod and Pilate, Simon the Cyrene and Dismas the Good Thief… and, of course, Satan, whose hope of victory over Jesus is dashed in the end. Do you want to advance from virtue to virtue, from grace to grace? Are you seeking the entire sanctification of your soul? These are the rewards, insists St. Bonaventure, of those who meditate frequently on the sufferings of Christ. “The holy suffering of Jesus is a sea of sorrows, but it is also a sea of love. Ask the Lord to teach you to fish in this sea. Immerse yourself in it and, no matter how deeply you go, you will never reach the bottom. Allow yourself to be penetrated with love and sorrow. In this way you will make the sufferings of the gentle Jesus your own. Fish for the pearls of the virtues of Jesus.” —St. Paul of the Cross “A single tear shed at the remembrance of the Passion of Jesus is worth more than a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or a year of fasting on bread and water.” —St. Augustine.

Be inspired by faithful heroism of the littlest souls Littlest Suffering Souls AUSTIN RUSE
It is said that children learn what they live. But children also teach the adults in their lives lessons on subjects such as unconditional love, self-sacrifice, self-forgetfulness, patience and more. The ordinary way an adult learns these things from his or her children is by caring for them. Every parent knows that. But some extraordinary children seem sent by God to teach us about the “big questions” such as life, death, suffering, and the existence of God. The children in this book, all of whom suffered terribly during their short lives, bore witness to God’s love and an understanding of the meaning of suffering and “what to do with it” that belied their years. And their teaching was not limited to their immediate family: Everyone with whom they came into contact, from doctors and nurses, to major political figures and popes to family friends and other children, was profoundly affected by the encounter. This book will make you cry, yes, but the tears will be mixed with something akin to joy at the beauty of the short lives of Brendan, Margaret, and Audrey, and awe at the grace and dignity with which they bore their crosses, lived and enjoyed this life, and ultimately left it to be with the God they all loved. In this time in which there is so much despair and sadness, and in this world in which we are so frequently reminded that it can truly be a “vale of tears,” let the Littlest Suffering Souls remind you that this present life is not all there is; let the Littlest Suffering Souls point you to heaven and to Christ.

Publisher’s Message Dear Friends, As Lent begins we enter yet again into a time of preparation and sacrifice. We know that Jesus suffered for us, eventually giving His life. We know that we owe Him everything. Despite this knowledge we often find ourselves struggling to accept and sanctify the suffering in our own life. I invite you to discover The Littlest Suffering Souls (p. 26) and to learn from these holy children the immense grace and even joy that flows out of suffering. This new book by Austin Ruse chronicles the powerful lives and witness of children who suffered intensely for Christ. I am also excited to announce a new, full-size edition of the classic prayerbook My Daily Bread (p. 12). This modern jewel has brought countless people closer to Our Lord. Just in time for Lent, this beautiful new edition will help you encounter the person of Jesus Christ.

For further Lenten reflection, I recommend The Passion (p. 10) by my friend Paul Thigpen, newly in print for the first time in many years. Prepare for Easter by meditating on the Passion of Our Lord. Finally, as we enter into this centenary year of Fatima and as bishops around the world have called for a renewed devotion to Our Lady, I want to call your attention to the beautiful new and classic books, prayer cards, and booklets designed to improve your relationship with Our Mother. (pp. 28-31).The fastest way to Jesus is through Mary, the woman who was by his side throughout his Passion and death.

Fatima & Mary
Available May 2017
Uncover the Secrets of Fatima Fatima: The Apparition that Changed the World JEAN M. HEIMANN
Fatima. Few place-names in the Christian world conjure up such powerful images and associations than this humble town in Portugal. For it was there that Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children beginning in 1917—where even non-believers attest the miracles there as the “day the sun danced.” The Virgin’s message, as it always is, was penance. But she also predicted the rise and fall of communism, the Second World War, and the attempted assassination of Pope St. John Paul II. Yet amid these tragedies, she promised refuge in her Immaculate Heart to all who approach her—a promise extended, and urgently needed, today. This beautiful volume—filled with more than 50 full-color images—is a treasure for longtime devotees of Our Lady of Fatima, as well as a gripping history for those who seek to learn more about the dramatic events related to the apparition that have unfolded over the course of the last century. In Fatima, noted Catholic author and Blue Army member Jean M. Heimann traces the events of the apparitions at Cova da Iria and guides the reader through the hundred tumultuous years since the Mother of God appeared to three little children in a small town in Portugal.

Read the book two Popes recommend Lord of the World MSGR. ROBERT HUGH BENSON
It is a world seemingly without conflict. There are no battles, no religion. Imagine! And yet, all is not well. There is a war going on. The Godlessness of the world, disguised in comfortable Humanism, gnaws at the minds and souls of the people. Euthanasia is rampant, a way to escape a sterile and meaningless world. Only the ghettoized, underground Catholic Church and its few remaining adherents struggle to keep Christianity alive. Pushed to edges of society, their biggest and most important conflict comes in the form of Julian Felsenburgh, the leader of the new world order…and an Anti-Christ. It is left to Father Percy Franklin and the small band of remaining Catholics to fight this, perhaps, final battle of Good vs. Evil; Christ vs. Anti-Christ. Written more than 100 years ago, Lord of the World remains just as profound today as it did when it was first published. “I have often said that this novel and C. S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength are the most frightening books that I have ever read.” —James V.

Discover a family of Saints 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

How Tom Monaghan used a pizza empire to help build the Kingdom of God Monaghan: A Life JOSEPH PEARCE
Pizza mogul, sports owner, billionaire, devout Catholic, university founder, philanthropist. These are just a few of the many words that describe Tom Monaghan. The man who built Domino’s Pizza into an empire, owned the Detroit Tigers, built a Catholic college, then moved it halfway across the country and turned it into a university surrounded by a growing city…is all of those things and more. Much more as both his admirers and detractors would say. In short, like all humans, he is complex. But at his core is an unwavering Catholicism that has strengthened him amidst adversity and grounded him amidst prosperity. In this volume, Joseph Pearce, the preeminent Catholic biographer of our time, traces Monaghan’s life story from “the gutter to the stars” and, with his own deep knowledge of and devotion to Catholicism, is able to tell it in such a way that the reader will realize and appreciate that, despite missteps along the way, the subject is a man whose greatest desire is not to be among “the stars,” but rather among the saints in heaven at the end of his earthly pilgrimage. And that, ultimately, should be the desire of us all, flawed as we all are. The life of Tom Monaghan is an inspiring story of success in the face of what, for many, may have been insurmountable odds, of determination to succeed when it would have been easy to quit, and of a childhood faith rediscovered that changed his life and the lives of so many others.

A “New” book from a modern titan of the faith Justice & Charity BY MONSIGNOR FULTON J. SHEEN / INTRODUCTION BY PETER HOWARD, S.T.D. / AFTERWORD BY RICHARD ALEMAN
The dominating influence of Capitalism and Communism over modern societies has eclipsed the Catholic Church’s communication of her social and economic principles. Campaigns to win the affections of the faithful have persuaded many that Capitalism— with its promise of unlimited freedom and praise for the accumulation of wealth—is an authentic expression of Catholic social teaching and that the richness of the social tradition with its preferential option for the poor is driven by class-hatred, envy, and egalitarianism. Grounded in his expertise of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church, in Justice and Charity, Fulton J. Sheen explores how Capitalism’s failure to submit to justice and Communism’s rejection of Christian Charity can be corrected only by a revolution in the heart of men by means of encountering Jesus Christ. In print for the first time since it was delivered as a series of radio addresses. Justice and Charity is a thought-provoking exploration into the social tradition of the Catholic Church led by one of her finest voices.

Can you be a good lawyer and still be a good Catholic? Seeking More C.T. ROSSI
The short answer is “yes.” But you can’t do it without understanding that being a lawyer is a special vocation — one that calls upon you to know how your Catholic faith intersects your professional life. In these times when developments in the civil law run contrary to traditional Catholic moral teaching, how is a lawyer expected to properly render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s? Seeking More is a guide designed to help you discover the Church’s perennial teachings on the nature and purpose of law, the balance required in Church and State relations, and the duty of all Christians to work for the common good. However, like any good lawyer, author C.T. Rossi goes further than merely providing those teachings in the abstract and applies the rules to the facts through an in-depth study of the life of St. Thomas More. Unlike other popular works about the patron saint of lawyers, here St. Thomas struggle in our own morally confusing times. For the legal professional, this guide’s St. Thomas More is more than an object of saintly veneration. Instead, he proves to be a beloved legal colleague and guide worthy of imitation. “Blessed Thomas More is more important at this moment that at any moment since his death, even perhaps the great moment of his dying; but he is not quite as important as he will be in about a hundred years’ time.” — G.K.

“Bishop von Galen knows full well that after the war I shall extract retribution to the last farthing.” —Adolf Hitler, as quoted in Hitler’s Table Talk, Oxford University Press
The inspiring true story of the bishop on Hitler’s “Hit List” The Lion of Münster: The Bishop Who Roared Against Nazis FR. DANIEL UTRECHT
“The dear God placed me in a position in which I had a duty to call black ‘black’ and white ‘white’.” These words were spoken by Cardinal Clemens August von Galen, the bishop of the diocese of Münster in Germany from 1933 to 1946. In so doing, he risked death at the hands of the Nazis, one Gestapo leader even urging that he be publicly hanged. Joseph Goebbels and others in the Nazi leadership, knowing the bishop’s popularity, advised waiting, subscribing to the adage that “revenge is a dish best served cold.” In this, the definitive English language biography of the great Lion of Münster, readers will encounter the young von Galen as he learns the Catholic faith and love of the fatherland from his family, members of the German aristocracy. A nobleman, a “prince” of his people and of his Church, the boy grew into a man, a six-and-a-half-foot tall giant of a man, who, though he loved his homeland, loved God, His Church and His law even more; for he knew that calling his homeland back to the ways of God is the one way in which a bishop can best demonstrate that love for the people under his spiritual care. And so, in three magnificent sermons and countless other speeches, communiques and gestures, the Lion roared. This story of his life and his stirring words provides readers with an indispensable glimpse into the confrontation between Church and State in Hitler’s Germany and will serve as a reminder to all men and women of good will of the duty to call black ‘black’ and white ‘white.

“...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.
