"For us, Fatima is a sign of the presence of father, of the fact that it is precisely from the little ones that faith gains new strength, one which is not limited to the little ones but has a message for the entire world and touches history here and now, and sheds light on this history." - Pope Benedict XVI..

What is going on in the world from a Catholic perspective? Do the Catholic saints, Church Fathers, modern Popes and approved apparitions have anything to say about things? In this book, author Mark Mallet would say they certainly do. In his view, the Catholic Church of today is facing what he calls "the final confrontation" between the forces of Jesus Christ and those of Satan. One of the most popular books available on this subject today...

Life is hard. And there are all sorts of pitfalls along the way. Nowhere do we find a more overwhelming chronicle of hard times than in the Bible itself. The Old Testament is a long record of the disappointments and disasters that came upon the people of Israel. And therein lies the real story... Within every Scripture story of God's discipline, we find God's unceasing redemption. Within every story of man's stubbornness or selfishness that leads to strife, we find God's loving grace that leads us back to safety. God doesn't just take pity take on us; he empowers us. But only when we cease to rely on our own strength can we discover that God's strength is always there for us. Theologian and TV host Scott Hahn shows us how we can use the Bible to deal with hard times, to get over hard times, and yes, even to rejoice in hard times. About the Author Best-selling author Dr. Scott Hahn is one of the foremost Scripture scholars as the Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology and Lit..

One day, philosopher Peter Kreeft reads an open letter published by a friend, Nat Whilk. He's Catholic, but he sees the Church as unsteady, outdated, obsessive. As a challenge to the "True Believers", Nat pens a twenty-point manifesto for "cafeteria Catholics", who pass up certain Church teachings and scoop up others like a diner in a buffet line."I find in [Catholicism] both much to accept and even love and also much to refuse and even despise", he asserts. "If you insist on tying God to the Church, you will make me an atheist."..

Why would Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, say that the world, especially Catholics, need to read this story of redemption? Why would he claim that Transfigured is one of the most powerful conversion stories ever written?Because Patricia Sandoval's life story is an unusually gripping, hard-to-put-down ride along a journey that leads to an extraordinary triumph of God's mercy--the mercy that waits patiently for all of us. Patricia came from a broken home, good and bad boyfriends, three abortions, a job at Planned Parenthood (where she was told never to reveal what she saw), followed by methamphetamine addiction and homelessness. The way that Jesus came to her in the streets will leave you breathless, as will the heights to which God has since carried her. If you know of someone who believes they cannot be forgiven or return to Church, this is the book to give them. Read Transfigured. Be Transfigured. Patricia now travels the world as a pro life speaker, sharing her story with millions in packe..

The Return of the Gods is the most explosive book Jonathan Cahn has ever written. It is so explosive and so revealing that no description here could do it justice. Jonathan Cahn is known for revealing the stunning mysteries, many from ancient times, that lie behind and are playing out in the events of our times. But with The Return of the Gods, Cahn takes this to an entirely new level and dimension. The Return of the Gods, Cahn takes the reader on a journey from an ancient parable, the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in our world to this day, specifically in America. The mystery involves the gods. Who are they? What are they? And is it possible that these beings, whose origins are from ancient times, are the unseen catalysts of modern culture? Is it possible that these gods lie behind the most pivotal events, forces, and movements taking place in our nation and around the world at this very moment? Are t..

“STAR OF THE STORMY SEA” In the 1600’s, Our Lady appeared to a Conceptionist sister, Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres in Quito, Ecuador. Our Lady greeted her saying: “I am Mary of Good Success, the one whom you have invoked with such tender affection. Your prayer has greatly pleased. Your faith has brought me here. Your love invited me to visit you.” Our Lady stated that it was Her wish to be made known to the Conceptionist Convent in Quito and the rest of the world as “Our Lady of Good Success”. She foretold that the church would be in a state of crisis in the Twentieth Century. Our Lady asked Mother Mariana to be a victim soul for this particular time. The Blessed Mother specifically asked to be invoked as “Our Lady of Good Success” during this ungodly era. She promised to grant all requests, spiritual and temporal, asked for during this tragic period in the Church’s history. Let us all beseech the Holy Virgin under this most optimistic of all titles to end these terrible times..

"In the twentieth century, the O my Jesus prayer became almost an essential part of the Rosary for Catholics around the world. And yet, what does the prayer mean? Over the centuries, countless commentaries on the Our Father and Hail Mary have been written. But what about the Fatima prayer? In O my Jesus, theologians Luke Arredondo and Stephen Bullivant take the reader on a guided tour of this important (and even controversial) prayer. The result is a thought-provoking window into the history and theology of the Fatima prayer and its place in the Rosary for today." --Brant Pitre, author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist Despite its brevity, the Fatima prayer is one of remarkable theological depth - not to mention, daring. In the space of just twenty-nine words,it broaches some of the great themes of Christianity: sin, forgiveness, mercy, heaven, and hell. it also touches on two hot topics within contemporary Catholic discussion - having a personal relationship with "my J..
