A Simple Commentary on the
Catechism of Christian Doctrine
A summary of Catholic doctrine and prayers. Taken from his own catechism courses, We Believe: A Simple Commentary on the Catechism of Christian Doctrine by Monsignor A. N.

But where the Penny Catechism excels in its simplicity, We Believe excels in its thoroughness and depth, and in its personal even conversational explanations. $19.95All for Jesus: The Easy Ways of
Divine Love
One of Fr. Faber's greatest books; and definitely his most encouraging; for it was written precisely to help us save our souls by "serving Jesus out of love;" for "everything comes easy to love." Gives us powerful motives for loving God. Says if we did; it would be with us as it was with Jacob working to earn the hand of Rachel: "Years would seem but days; for the greatness of our love." Makes a person feel rich to be a Catholic. This is Fr. Faber at his best! $19.95The Active Catholic
The active Catholic is unique in Catholic literature in that it points us inward, to a complete and thorough understanding of Catholic teaching and living—before we venture outward to help others in our work for Christ as an active Catholic. “How I must study the interior life in order to succeed with exterior,” the title of Chapter 17, aptly states the theme of the entire book. Written as Our Lord would speak to His disciples—in short, profound statements of almost biblical power—The Active Catholic is not a book one can just read casually. It is rather a book that must be ingested slowly, over a period of time. $9.95
Guidance to Heaven
This is the best book we have ever seen to show the shortness and uncertainty of life and why we should live in anticipation of and preparation for death. Says we should not live being afraid to die because we are not prepared; but realizing that death is one's grand entrance into true life; if one is well prepared; we will make it our life's work to get ready. A powerful book to help us get properly oriented spiritually in life. $9.95
Strengthening Your Family:
A Catholic Approach to Holiness
Turn on any sitcom, news hour program, reality TV show, or shock jock on the radio and modern family life is usually the butt of every joke — bumbling dads, overworked moms, sarcastic kids, shallow relationships, and misdirected priorities. Add in the real-life issues of money, time, technology, and peer pressure and it’s no wonder families are feeling under attack.The question is: How can we build a spiritual stronghold that can withstand the onslaught? Author, speaker, and experienced mother of four Marge Fenelon offers simple, practical ways to foster a holy atmosphere in your home — from which everything else can flow. $9.95
Theology of the Body for
Beginners .. by Christopher West
This description may be from another edition of this product. Divorce. Broken families. Sexual abuse. Addiction. Pornography. Same-sex "marriage." Gender issues. Everywhere we look, we find more and more confusion about the most fundamental truths of human life. As we lose our basic understanding of the meanings of man, woman, marriage, and sex, the question becomes ever more urgent: What does it mean to be a human being? Against this backdrop, St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body appears as a bright light in the darkness. His writings go straight to the heart of what it means. $9.95
The Holy Will of God
A book to help us determine what God's will really is; why we should conform our wills to His and see in this conformity our greatest good--for like it or not; we do have to live with God's holy will anyway. Brings great solace! $9.95
Saint Joseph Prayer Book
St. Joseph obtains favours of any kind, but particularly in family problems, financial needs, purity, dangers, work, housing and a happy death. He is the universal patron---whatever your petition is, you can pray to St. Joseph with confidence. He was the foster father of Jesus Christ on earth, and Jesus still obeys his requests in heaven! God chose St. Joseph over all other men to represent the fatherhood of God Himself in the Holy Family. $4.95
Mary: The Second Eve
A short booklet composed of excerpts from St. John Henry Newman's masterful writings on one of his favorite subjects: Our Lady. His erudition as a scholar, citing Church Fathers and Doctors, and his devotion to the Blessed Mother are unparalleled. The truth of devotion to Our Lady in the Catholic Faith is here most exquisitely upheld, in particular over and against Protestant accusations. No English Catholic pen is better than St. John Henry Newman's, and here he is at his finest. $3.95
A Brief Life of Christ
No biography in all of human history is more important than that of the God-Man, Jesus the Christ. A Brief Life of Christ details this perfect life succinctly, encapsulating all the most important events and sayings of the life of the Lord for easy review by both young students and adults. Also included in this volume are a Map of the Holy Land and a Chronological Outline. This is the perfect book for a quick refresher on the life of Christ, without knowledge of which we are at a loss to understand the meaning of His holy work for us. $2.95
