All Christians know his name. Few truly know the man.Francis of Assisi was not even five feet tall. He was not well educated. And yet he is the one saint commonly recognized as Alter Christus, the ;other Christ.; Francis is not just any saint—hes a saint for everyone, whatever your place or position in life. But do we really know him? Who was this man at his core? What was it that thrust this little man from a little town to the heights of sanctity, into a place of high honor among the celestial court?In this riveting biography, author Bret Thoman accomplishes what few biographers have. He pierces the inner life of Francis, revealing his deepest passions, his unquenchable love for poverty, and his unshakable grip on the core of the Gospel. The life of Francis, so often festooned with spectacle and miracle, is in reality the story of a soul yearning for God in every moment and glimpsing His presence in all creation.If you want to see the hidden life of the greatest saint, if you want to hear his thoughts, if you want to feel the fervor that blazed within his soul, you must read St. Francis of Assisi: Passion, Poverty, and the Man who Transformed the Catholic Church.

Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity

The Blessed Sacrament is the great "open secret" of the Catholic Church—the great truth that Jesus Christ is in the Tabernacle and is accessible to all who believe in Him. This truth is not immediately obvious, and thus it is not really appreciated as it should be. Yet He is always there, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, waiting for His faithful to approach, adore, and love Him—and let Him love them. There is no greater boon on earth—or even in heaven, for truly we say to Him: "What else is there for me in Heaven? And apart from Thee what have I wished for on the earth?" (Psalm 72(73):25) The Blessed Sacrament is God with us; what else could we ask for?The Blessed Sacrament: God With Us is a call to all Catholics to appreciate and love Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, for in that perpetual miracle is all the wealth of His love and our "heaven" on earth!

The Blessed Sacrament God with Us

“What we have attempted here in this book is to provide in laymen’s terms how to defeat the infernal enemy through adherence to the teachings of the Catholic Church, a renewed prayer life, and radical return to the sacraments.”—From the IntroductionEver since our first parents were expelled from the Garden, mankind has lived a life of physical and spiritual struggle against a fallen world determined to undermine our reconciliation with God. Because this spiritual warfare is inevitable, it behooves Christians to prepare themselves for battle with the weapons made available to them by the Church. These arms come to us in the form of prayers and devotions, sacraments, and doctrines developed over the centuries based on the teachings of Christ. From this powerful cache of spiritual weapons, fully explicated in Spiritual Warfare Q&amp;A, believers can better prepare themselves against attacks from demonic forces whose sole mission is to seek out and destroy the souls of men.Intended as a how-to manual for the Church militant, Spiritual Warfare Q&amp;A is organized as a question-and-answer catechism. Dan Schneider and Jesse Romero collected six dozen questions, both theological and practical, about spiritual conflict asked of them on their radio program over several years. The topics it contains range from exorcism and the occult to magic, horror films, yoga, haunted houses, Freemasonry, and much more. While geared toward the layman, there is a section devoted to questions asked by priests about the proper roles they must perform in the battle. The most authoritative sources are cited, from official church documents to the testimony of highly regarded exorcists and theologians, on the nature of the danger and on how best to respond. The reader will not find any other treatment as comprehensive and plainspoken on the spiritual battle being waged today.
