 Desire & Deception
by Charles A. Coulombe |
|
In Desire and Deception, Charles A. Coulombe makes the case that the role Christ first envisaged for her - that of the sole means of Salvation for mankind - has been completely obscured in the minds of the vast majority of Catholics today. He gives the history of how this came about, explains that this obscurity is at the root of the Church’s current internal dilemmas, and shows that Catholics must regain their sense of mission if they are to fulfill Christ’s mandate.

The White Cockade
by Charles A. Coulombe |
|
The White Cockade is a collection of poetry and verse written by a young man of singular courage and honour, compassion and depth of feeling. The words found in the book, that is the poems themselves, lead to reader to feel an admiration for the writer as well as a form of sympathy. We are left with the impression that this is a man of bravery, but tender. A man of vallour, yet humanly flawed. A man no stranger to heartbreak, but determined to overcome everything which heartbreak and heartache leave in their aftermath.

Visionary
by Michael Hallford |
|
A new thriller! The questions were on the minds of the media and the public alike. Were Nigel Fox's mystical powers legitimate? Could he heal the sick as some had claimed? Did his dreams really predict the future? Was he, as some had begun to call him, a human television broadcasting information from realities unseen to the human eye? Or was it all a hoax like so many other hoaxes that had been exposed before?No one quite knew the final answer. Then Jim Jacobson, a skeptical reporter from the Hadleyburg Times, became the first to be granted exclusive access to the mystic. Little did he know that within days he would be thrust into a world of conspiracy, lies and murder, where he would be confronted with a horrible secret, buried in his past, which would force him to reconsider every assumption he held about himself, the world and ultimately God.

Puritan's Empire
by Charles A. Coulombe |
|
A Catholic Perspective on American History
History is the key to understanding men - whether
as nations, families, or individuals. For Catholics, history has an even higher purpose beside. For them, history is the unfolding of God's Will in time, and the attempts of men either to conform themselves to or resist that Will.
But American Catholic historians have generally refrained from exploring their own national history with these principles, preferring instead to adopt the analysis of their non-Catholic colleagues, save when looking at purely Catholic topics (and sometimes not then).

The Endless Knot
The Darkness Did Not
The Search for Saint Valeria
Out of the Depths |
Look out Father Brown! In this rollicking mystery series cop-turned-priest Fr. John Baptists get into many fun-filled romps with his faithful sidekick gardener and chronicler Martin Feeney. With a cast of characters too real to be believed, this book will send the reader to his prayers --- and split his sides. The atmosphere of life in the Church and the World today is held up for view --- and appropriately skewered. As in real life, terror and humor are never far apart in any book in the Fr. Baptist series.

St. Joe's Remarkable Journey
by Paul A. Barra |

The Founding of a Catholic School by Lay People:
Faced with today's licentious and relativistic society, many parents are considering alternative methods of educating their children. This work of non-fiction details the steps and missteps of a daring group of Catholic parents in South Carolina who chose to start their own diocesan-approved Catholic high-school, rather than send their kids to public school. Paul A. Barra chronicles their obstacles, joys and heartaches - and conflicts with the local diocese, that lead to one of the most successful high schools in the United States.

Catholic Literature
by Margaret Robe Summitt |
|
Why should we study literature? To learn truth, answers Margaret Summitt, and "in so far as a story, poem, or play is true, it is literature - and the deeper the truth it gets at, the more Catholic it is. In other words, the more deeply the author pursues truth, the more likely he is to find his way to the mysteries and dogmas of the Church." This book will be like a Literature 101 course, seen through Catholic eyes. Summitt explores authors like Chesterton, T.S. Eliot, Evelyn Waugh, Flannery O'Connor, J.R.R. Tolkien, and other great writers. Great for homeschoolers.
