My Sisters, the Saints
A Spiritual Memoir
Colleen Carroll Campbell
opular author, syndicated columnist, blogger and TV host
PCampbell blends her own moving personal narrative of spiritual
seeking, trials, stumbles, and breakthroughs with the stories
of six women saints who profoundly changed her life: Teresa
of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, Faustina of Poland, Edith Stein of
Germany, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Mary of Nazareth.
Drawing upon the rich writings and examples of these extraordinary
women, the author reveals Christianity’s liberating power
for women and the deep relevance of the saints to the lives of
contemporary Christians.
“Completely contemporary and totally timeless, this is an
engaging spiritual memoir and the perfect guidebook for
anyone looking for a companion to help her navigate life’s
sometimes difficult and confusing journey.”

The Regensburg Lecture
Pope Benedict XVI • James V. Schall, S.J.
he man who was simultaneously the Pope and the greatest
Tliving theologian is retiring, and he is joined in retirement
by Fr. James Schall, S.J., the English-speaking world’s greatest
living Catholic essayist. This book is a collaboration by them on
Pope Benedict’s amazing Regensburg Lecture, which shocked
the world (even to the point of rioting), was misread everywhere,
and yet forthrightly dealt with the “unavoidable dilemma” of
Islam needing to “re-Hellenize” in order to fulfill its promise as a
“religion of peace.” And Benedict did this all within the context
of a renewal of Catholic mission and purpose in a secular and
degenerating Europe. Fr. Schall’s accessible, definitive explanation
clarifies the meaning and importance of the Regensburg
Lecture (the Lecture itself is included as an appendix) to restate
the central role of reason in man’s relationship with God.
“Few people understand the importance of the Pope’s lecture
better than Fr. James Schall. I’d say he was a national resource,
but he’s actually a global resource.”

How the Catholic Church
Built Western Civilization
Introduction by Cardinal Antonio Canizares
Thomas Woods
n the new paperback edition of bestselling author’s Thomas E.
IWoods, Jr.’s How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization,
Woods describes how and why the Catholic church gave Western
Civilization some of its most integral and distinctive characteristics.
It comes now with new introduction by Spanish Cardinal
of the Roman Catholic Church Antonio Canizares. Ask someone
today where Western Civilization originated, and he or she
might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of
Western Civilization Bestselling author and professor Thomas
E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic
Church. Woods goes far beyond the familiar tale of monks copying
manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity.
Gifts such as modern science, free-market economics, art, music,
and the idea of human rights come from the Catholic Church,
explains Woods. No institution has done more to shape Western
civilization than the two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church—
and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known. How
the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization is essential reading
for recovering this lost truth.
