In the battle for our children’s souls, Catholic parents have a key advantage over the world: our families are destined for heaven. God willed us to exist now—in a world that celebrates sin as virtue and punishes Christians as “haters”—as part of His saving plan. In His abundant generosity, He confers on all His children the power to know, love, and serve Him. But His plan requires our participation. To spend eternity with Him in heaven, we must answer His call, now.Unbreakable is a resource designed to help Catholic parents raise children who are strong enough to resist the soul-endangering temptations to “get along” with and “get ahead” in the world. Recognizing that what occupies our children’s imagination is of profound importance, this book tells the stories of four of the Church’s most courageous saints—Saint Joan of Arc, Saint José Luis Sánchez del Río, Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko, and Saint Teresa of Calcutta—and the ten saints who inspired them during their lives, including Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Juan Diego, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, among others.Written for modern parents, Unbreakable continues a long tradition of helping families build a Christ-centered culture in their homes that can be passed on for generations.

Status and wealth, power and fame: St. Thomas More had them all. As a wise and popular statesman, internationally recognized scholar, and Lord Chancellor of England, More was perhaps the most highly respected Englishman of his day, until his conscience required that he lay down his life for his Catholic faith.A generation ago, the American Catholic novelist John Edward Beahn retold More's life story as a biographical novel, A Man Born Again: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Thomas More, published in 1954. Making ample use of the rich historical records of sixteenth-century England, Beahn lays out the convoluted political landscape of the period, which set the scene for the disastrous efforts of King Henry VIII to divorce his queen and marry his mistress—while demanding that the Church grant him sanction for his immorality.Alongside the political complexities, Beahn traces the development of More's interior landscape. Family conflicts, vocational perplexities, personal tragedies, and forthright acquaintances all played their part in shaping his soul. These influences, converging with the political developments that relentlessly pressed in on him, forged a remarkable character that combined brilliant intellect, moral integrity, and deep devotion to Christ and His Church.In the end, More chose to give his life rather than compromise his convictions under coercion from the state. No doubt a second generation of readers will welcome this TAN Legend edition of A Man Born Again: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Thomas More, as twenty-first-century political trends call for heroic Catholic resistance to government assault upon the Church.

A Man Born Again

Fr. Frederick William Faber was one of the greatest Catholic writers in the English language of the 19th century. Initially an Anglican priest, he found his way into the Catholic Church through the preaching of St. John Henry Newman and the Oxford Movement, eventually being ordained as an Oratorian priest. His works are numerous, and each satisfies a different part of the soul's need for knowledge and strengthening in the Catholic religion.In Purgatory: The Two Catholic Views of Purgatory Based on Catholic Teaching and Revelations of Saintly Souls, Fr. Faber is at it again explaining Catholic doctrine in a clear and engaging manner rare in modern times. Considering the different views Catholics have had about Purgatory over the ages, Fr. Faber asks: What is Purgatory like? Is it almost like Hell? Or is it a place of relative peace and even joy? Emphasizing that Catholicism has no definitive answer for such mysteries, Fr. Faber explores the traditions about this place of God's Mercy that nevertheless involves pain. He bases his discussion on teachings and revelations from saintly souls, including St. Catherine of Genoa's well-known Treatise on Purgatory (available from TAN in The Spiritual Doctrine of St. Catherine of Genoa).As always, Fr. Faber's prowess as a writer and teacher of the Catholic Faith shines admirably. His work is thorough, concise, and, as ever, deeply moving on account of the holiness of his own soul and the beauty of the words that spring from it.

Fr. Frederick William Faber was one of the greatest Catholic writers in the English language of the 19th century. Initially an Anglican priest, he found his way into the Catholic Church through the preaching of St. John Henry Newman and the Oxford Movement, eventually being ordained as an Oratorian priest. His works are numerous, and each satisfies a different part of the soul's need for knowledge and strengthening in the Catholic religion.In Bethlehem, Fr. Faber explores the hidden meanings of Our Lord's Incarnation, birth, infancy, and early life, based on the Four Gospels' accounts. Throughout this characteristically perspicuous and sagacious treatise, he also expands his theme to a wide-ranging discourse on the entire Catholic Faith from the point of view of the Sacred Infancy. Everything in Our Lord's life is relevant to our salvation, and every particularity takes on a greater significance and sanctifying value in relation to the whole.Whatever Jesus did or allowed Himself to undergo is utterly perfect, because every action He, God, takes is perfect. Fr. Faber explores the hidden meanings of Our Lord's earthly life, exposing with profundity and clarity hardly seen in a man of these later times the mysteries of Christ's life. Let Fr. Faber take you on a journey through the early life of Our Lord, and meditate on His Divine Providence's unspeakable wisdom.

Discover the Epic Humanity of the Saints The saints are not myths or legends, they were people just like us who lived lives of ­epic virtue. &#160; If the saints have never made you laugh or drop your jaw, they will in this book. Bestselling author Shaun McAfee (Reform Yourself!, Filling Our Father’s House) and guest writers illustrate how the saints were not just stone-faced old men. Some of them had quirky habits, outrageous personalities, and did breathtaking deeds...but they all had epic faith. &#160; Their lives were filled with events that push our understanding of charity with intrepid virtue, but at certain points, they lacked common sense and were uproariously funny, too. &#160; Discover the time: &#160; ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; A young man known for his spiritual perfection almost blew himself to bits with a cannon. ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; The saint of the Cristero War became a master of disguises to save Christians and hilariously taunt his persecutors. ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Twin saints conjured dragons and tempests just to preserve vocations of novices. ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; The founder of the Oratorians joked about his own death, just moments before he died. ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; A famous cardinal rejected guaranteed conclave votes to make him pope. ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; A magnificent preacher was— understandably—accused of being insane. &#160; You’ll be filled with faith and laughter as you discover that God truly sends the lowly to do his will on earth, but that over time and with God’s graces, the lowly are lifted the highest—even if they are a little wild, weird, and epically wonderful.&#160;

Epic Saints

St. Athanasius of Alexandria is one of the greatest saints in the history of the Church and perhaps the single greatest champion of the Divinity of Christ. From an early age, he was marked for the clerical life, and even for becoming the successor of the Patriarch of Alexandria. Although still a deacon under thirty years of age, he was present in 325 at the First Council of Nicaea as the secretary of Patriarch Alexander, playing a great part in the promulgation of the "consubstantiality" of the Son and the Father. Soon after, Athanasius succeeded in the Patriarchate and became the most prominent and aggressive defender of Trinitarian orthodoxy against Arianism, which said that the Son was not God but a creature.He underwent no fewer than five exiles and multiple rigged trials, standing up to emperors and numerous Eastern bishops who supported some form of Arianism. It goes without saying that Athanasius's faith and dedication to Christ was undying to the last. Saint Athanasius: The Father of Orthodoxy details the life of this holy and excellent bishop, Doctor of the Church, and Champion of Orthodoxy in a way accessible to young and old alike. Let the reading of this great saint's life fill you with zeal for the truths of the faith and gain you a powerful heavenly intercessor.F. A. Forbes was the pen name of Mother Frances Alice Monica Forbes (1869-1936) of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Raised a Scottish Presbyterian but converting when she was 31, she soon became a nun. Her multiple biographies of saints written around the turn of the last century featured prominently in English-language Catholic literature. Her works, including Saint Athanasius: The Father of Orthodoxy, continue to inspire to this day.

What does the life of our soul look like?&#160;In The Interior Castle, St. Teresa imagines the soul as a magnificent castle full of spacious and elaborate rooms. And, as St. Teresa describes, at the heart of this castle stands the seat of the King Himself.&#160;&#160;“I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions. If we reflect, sisters, we shall see that the souls of the just man is but a paradise, in which, God tells us, He takes His delight.” (Page 7)This book provides a remarkable description of the spiritual life of the soul. From the first release of the soul from mortal sin into sanctifying grace, to the mystical marriage of the soul to Christ, Interior Castle describes the spiritual life as a journey through the imagery of a mysterious and beautiful castle.&#160;Using her image of a castle, Saint Teresa writes about numerous essential aspects of our spiritual journey in this book, including:<ul><li>Practical advice to those beginning their spiritual journey, especially regarding the early struggles and temptations to turn back</li><li>Descriptions of the seven mansions and what they mean for the soul</li><li>How and why we should love and serve the Divine Majesty&#160;</li><li>The value of our progress towards God&#160;</li></ul>Formatted in the simple but attractive fashion of all books in the TAN Catholic Classics Series, this book will help you beautify your bookshelf as well as your soul.&#160;The instructive, witty, kind, and prayerful style of St. Teresa of Avila will inspire you to see the soul in a new way. After reading The Interior Castle,you will want the beautification of your soul above all earthly treasures.&#160;

The Interior Castle

In a generation plagued by fatherlessness, fear, and indecision, men need a mentor. They need a man who models masculine strength and understands his God-given duty to lay down his life for his family, to provide for their every need, to protect them, to exemplify a life of virtue. St. Joseph is that man. Man Your Post: Learning to Lead like St. Joseph is a mission entrusted to you by a company of Catholic men who have faced challenges and found strength through the intercession of the head of the Holy Family, the man who provided for Jesus and Mary during their earthly lives and protected them on harrowing journeys as they fled from danger and battled the forces of this world.By embarking on a tour of the Litany of St. Joseph, each chapter explores the power and freedom virtue brings to the lives of ordinary men trying to lead their families to heaven, virtues like justice, chastity, prudence, fortitude, faithfulness and others.Included are powerful testimonies and reflections from:a five-time Major League Baseball All-star;a priest;a worship leader;a family physician;a marriage and family counselor;an entrepreneur;and other ministry leaders, husbands, and fathers.With a foreword by Dr. Scott Hahn, Man Your Post is an invitation to join your band of brothers as you carry out the mission God has entrusted to you. Answer the call. Join the mission. Man your post.

Saint Alphonsus Liguori, the Prince of Moral Theologians, was one of the greatest preachers in Church history. A religious founder, consummate theologian, and holy man of God, St. Alphonsus never failed to utter a stirring word that drew out a lively penitence and redoubled dedication to the work of God from his audience. Here, in The Holy Eucharist, is his extensive work on the Sacrifice that brings about Salvation.As a devoted preacher and teacher, Liguori sought to bring others to devotion and sanctity in the most Blessed Sacrament. He founded many centers for people to grow in their faith through preaching and the Sacraments, and as a bishop, he even suspended priests who celebrated the Mass in an undignified manner.In The Holy Eucharist, St. Alphonsus gives the reader not only a profound, biblical, and theological discourse, but also meditations to be used for deeper devotion and love for Christ present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. He spends considerable time on what exactly it means for the Christian to love Christ. Relating the Faith to the virtues, he shows in a masterful way the lex credendi, lex orandi of the Church. As if speaking to the modern reader, Liguori tackles issues related to the Eucharistic Devotion such as lukewarmness, pride and humility, charity in all things, and charity in suffering.Included in this masterwork are also novenas to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and meditations on the octave of Corpus Christi. In our devotion, we must follow the sage advice from Liguori, ;We must therefore be of good courage, make strong resolutions, and begin. Prayer can do everything. What we cannot do by our own strength, we shall do easily with the help of God, who has promised to give us whatever we ask of him: You shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.; This book will no doubt enkindle in you the fire of the Holy Spirit to begin anew with Christ every day!

The Holy Eucharist

She is history’s most famous woman, venerated in each corner of the globe. Cathedrals have been built in her honor. Schools, states, cities and religious orders bear her name. Apparitions of her have captured the attention of the world, and miracles have been attributed to her intercession.For over two thousand years, the Catholic Church has spread devotion to the Mother of God, bringing all the faithful under her maternal mantle. In this single volume, Fr. Ed Broom has compiled an exhaustive encyclopedia of the myriad ways Catholics from the early Church to today have venerated the Virgin Mary. A sweeping tour of history reveals the fascinating and, at times, miraculous origins of the Church’s Marian prayers, dogmas, devotions, sacramentals, feasts and novenas. Still more, Fr. Broom succinctly clarifies the biblical and theological foundations of Marian devotion.&#160; Compendium of the Marian Devotions, beautifully designed and eloquently written is a treasure that should grace the bookshelves of every Catholic home.Whether a new convert or a lifelong lover of Our Lady, readers will:<ul><li>Learn the theological and scriptural foundations of the four Marian dogmas all Catholics must believe</li><li>Come to understand Old Testament typology of Mary, such as why she is called the New Eve and the New Ark of the Covenant</li><li>Discover the origins of the Rosary, the Miraculous Medal, the Scapular, and so many more prayers and sacramentals</li><li>Meet the saints who spread devotion to Mary during their heroic lives, including those who received visions of her</li><li>Have a comprehensive resource of the Church’s Marian feasts and prayers</li><li>Be introduced to the art, architecture, literature, and music dedicated to the Virgin Mother throughout history</li></ul>And yet, above all else, Fr. Broom shows us how much our spiritual mother loves us and wants each of her children to enter the Sacred Heart of her Son.
