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 He's Catholic, but he sees the Church as unsteady, outdated, obsessive.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."..

Recognized as a modern spiritual classic and perhaps Dietrich von Hildebrand's greatest work, this sublime and practical study gives a penetrating analysis of the true path to holiness for those who love Christ. The first requisite is the person's desire for change, and with that fundamental attitude in mind, von Hildebrand devotes a chapter to each of the successive spiritual attitudes necessary for those who strive for Christian perfection. The Beatitudes are treated with beauty and depth in an uncompromising challenge to every serious Christian to put into practice these teachings of Christ. "A magnificent treatise by a distinguished philosopher on the pursuit of spiritual perfection." -Publishers Weekly "A major contribution to the only important question: the transformation of our soul in Christ." -Archbishop Fulton Sheen "A masterpiece of modern spirituality: eminently practical and highly recommended." -Fr. John Hardon, S.J. "A solid and penetrating analysis of the Christian..

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.

After a terrible mistake in the delivery room, an OB/GYN resident goes on a soul-seeking journey halfway across the world that challenges everything he knows about the medical status quo―and changes the future of pro-life healthcare. Two Patients is a story of radical forgiveness and unimaginable love that leads a formerly pro-choice physician to pioneer a new frontier in the pro-life movement today: merciful medicine. That new frontier is one in which physicians respect women’s fertility, treat children with compassion at each moment of biological growth, grieve alongside mothers and fathers when a pregnancy is lost, and see patients regardless of their financial situation. Dr. Bruchalski gives us a glimpse of just how merciful and extraordinary the relationship between a doctor and his two patients―mother and child―is truly meant to be...

The stories of these men and women exemplify a variety of starting points for considering the Catholic Church. Agnosticism, Secularism, New Age thought, and various stripes of Christianity are all considered in light of the Catholic alternative. The theological vocation specially prompts these authors to question their theological presuppositions as they encounter a Catholic alternative that increasingly gains intellectual credibility the more they study it. Although the theological truth of the Catholic faith captured the attention of these theologians and cleared a space into which the seed of supernatural faith could be planted, each of these essays tells a fully human story. The contributions are not merely collections of arguments; they are stories of grace. Among the ten converts here are well-known professors and writers including Scott Hahn, Lawrence Feingold, Melanie Barrett, Petroc Willey and Jeff Morrow. Each story is unique, and details the various perceptible ways God dre..

This work offers a unique, first-hand, and intimate account of growing up and living as a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, popularly known as the Mormon Church. But as he grew into manhood, Jeremy Christiansen began experiencing the deep and painful disillusionment of a loss of faith. He tells about his journey of a search for God and the truth that he eventually found in the Roman Catholic Church. Through a vivid memoir based on detailed personal journals, this book explores the highly unique approach to religious epistemology found in Mormonism. Although in theory the faith encourages the use of reason, in practice, Mormons’ beliefs in the truth claims of their church are highly dependent on emotional self-confirmation. Christiansen offers singular insight into the life of a faithful Mormon within this system, growing up in a small Mormon town, serving as a Mormon missionary for two years in Argentina, raising a family and serving in Mormon leadersh..
