The Complete Thinker E
The Marvelous Mind
of G.K. Chesterton
Dale Ahlquist
What does it mean to be a “complete
thinker” It means being
able to take on a wide variety
of ideas and disciplines and put
them all together in a way that
they work together. It means
thinking like G.K. Chesterton.
He sheds light on almost every
subject and opens doors from one thing to another
with dazzling clarity. Drawing on literally hundreds
of references from Chesterton’s vast writings, Dale
Ahlquist conducts a symphony, with Chesterton playing
all the instruments in perfect harmony.

The Will of God E
Finding and Fulfilling Your
Purpose in Life
Kenneth Baker, S.J.
God created us for a purpose.
Each one of us is unique, but
each one has a destiny of eternal
happiness. This book provides
the modern reader with guidance
on how to reach intimacy
with God and happiness with
him forever by bringing one’s life
into conformity with his will. The book consults many
sources—the Bible, the teachings of the Church, and
the lives of the saints—and in all three the formula is
the same: Obey God in all things.

The Autobiography
of a Hunted Priest E
John Gerard, S.J.
This autobiography of a Jesuit
priest in Elizabethan England
is a most remarkable document
and John Gerard, its author,
a most remarkable priest in a
time when to be a Catholic in
England courted imprisonment
and torture; to be a priest was
treason by act of Parliament. The
stirring account of his escape from the Tower of
London, where he was held and tortured, by means
of a rope thrown across the moat, is a daring and
magnificent climax to a true story which, for sheer
narrative power and interest, far exceeds any fiction.

The Confessions
St. Augustine of Hippo
Edited by Fr. David Meconi
The Confessions of Saint
Augustine is considered one of
the greatest Christian classics of

Augustine wrote as an autobiography
sometime after his conversion,
to confess his sins and
proclaim God’s goodness. This acclaimed new translation
by Sister Maria Boulding, O.S.B., masterfully
captures his experience, and is written in an elegant
and flowing style.

Condition • Frank Sheed

about who and what God is, and
to know God personally. He clears
away popular misunderstandings
of God, often held by otherwise
knowledgeable people. A masterful, lucid writer, Sheed

City of God
Saint Augustine of Hippo

No book except the Bible itself
had a greater influence on the

this work by consequence
is vital for understanding our
world and how it came into being.
The original City of God contained 22 books. This
edition has been skillfully abridged for the intelligent
general reader by Vernon J. Bourke, making the heart
of this monumental work available to a wide audience.
