In a time of immense persecution and widespread misunderstanding, one man stood fearlessly to defend the truth of the Christian faith. "The First and Second Apologies" by St. Justin Martyr represents one of the most significant and courageous acts of Christian witness from the second century. Written as direct appeals to the Roman Emperor and the Senate, these powerful documents offer an unparalleled glimpse into the beliefs, practices, and intellectual arguments of the early Church.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.’ And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness . . . but we have neglected the world within. This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self. In it, he takes up the mantle of Dietrich von Hildebrand and plumbs the depths of that most misunderstood (by the world) and overlooked (by philosophers and theologians) part of the human being.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the highest act of worship on earth, the unbloody renewal of Calvary, and the source and summit of the Christian life. Yet for many Catholics today, the liturgy feels familiar but not fully understood. Something essential has been obscured. In Ad Orientem: The Direction that Changes Everything, Peter Kwasniewski addresses one of the most overlooked but revealing elements of Catholic worship: the direction in which the Church prays. This is not a question of preference or aesthetics. It is a theological reality. The way we stand reveals whom we worship.

Even self-described Christians question whether God would consign anyone to hell. Msgr. Pope explains this false perception: “If it exists at all, it is largely empty, except perhaps for a few serial killers or genocidal maniacs like Hitler.” People who adopt this belief are ignoring Jesus’s teachings that instruct the exact opposite.

From the early church fathers, three foundational texts of faith and practice endure: the Didache, the Didascalia Apostolorum, and the Apostolic Tradition. Written to guide believers in worship, morality, and community life, these manuals reveal how the early Church understood the sacraments, prayer, charity, episcopal authority, and more. In these pages, Dear Reader, you will encounter the living heartbeat of apostolic Christianity—simple, disciplined, and aflame with reverence.

On the third day, God planted the garden in the east of the earth, on the border of the world eastward, beyond which, towards the sunrising, one finds nothing but water, that encompasses the whole world, and reaches to the borders of heaven.

Do you want to go to heaven? Of course, you do! But do you know the way? Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a map that shows the way to heaven? There is! In this remarkable book, Father Ed Broom shows that the key to getting to heaven is to have a plan of life.

This work guides the serious soul through devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus by drawing on the classical stages of the spiritual life, the purgative, illuminative, and unitive ways, and shows how living this devotion fosters peace and unity with God. Rooted in the wisdom of the Church’s spiritual masters and the revelations given to Sr. Marie de SaintPierre, it includes schedules for concluding the consecration on feast days and invites deeper intimacy with Christ through traditional consecration practice.

The six life testimonies contained within it are miraculous, heroic, and truly inspiring.” Certain books as this come along that have the power “to transform lives, to free people from darkness,” claims Br. Daniel Maria Klimek, T.O.R. “I plan to share this tremendous work with many through the years.”
