A fantastic sourcebook showing exactly what the Church teaches on Original Sin, Grace, each Sacrament, the Mass, Purgatory, statues, indulgences, etc. These canons are infallible and absolutely unchangeable. The canons and decrees of Vatican Council I define papal infallibility. The Syllabus, written in 1861, is astonishingly contemporary and a revelation to most Catholics. It clearly enunciates 80 modern errors and is alone worth the price of the book.

A stellar, comprehensive explanation of Catholic theology, geared for the average reader, distilled from his 5-vol. work. Has to be the best 1-vol. explanation of the Faith in print. Totally orthodox and readable. Absolutely tremendous!

Faithful to the Bible story of the Passion and death of Jesus, it fills in many details and is edifying and inspiring beyond belief; plus, it is surprising and heart-rending. It will melt a heart of stone. This book is the best on the Passion we have seen. It is also wonderful on the Blessed Mother's role in our redemption. Includes a short biography of Sr. Emmerich. A great, great book for the whole family!

The lives and heroic deeds of St. Dominic, St. Peter Martyr, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Pius V, St. Rose of Lima, etc. Saints whose lives helped shape the whole world. Here are some of the greatest moments in all history--magnificent traditions that every Catholic should know!

Likely TAN's most compelling book; urges us to pray thru Mary for the dying, that even in their last hour, they might repent and save their souls. A most Catholic practice; one destined to save many souls from the clutches of Hell.

THE book on devotion to the Sacred Heart! Commissioned by Our Lord Himself through St. Margaret Mary and received, through her, His endorsement. Responsible for the early, rapid spread of the Sacred Heart devotion. Contains the Saint's life, her prayers to the Sacred Heart, the Sacred Heart Promises (far more than the famous "12 Promises"), and much, much more! Great!

This might well be called "the complete book of devotion to the Sacred Heart".  Covers all aspects: First Fridays, 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart, St. Margaret Mary.  Gives the nature of the devotion, it object, purpose, the motives for doing so, and Sacred Heart Associations.  Absorbing, thorough and easy to read.

The best, most accurate, safest English translation that you can use. A careful word-for-word translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible (the official Bible of the Church)--plus of the original New Testament Greek. This version is a joy to read, is full of surprises and really makes the Bible come alive! Contains those familiar, profound and commanding Bible passages which say to all, "This is Sacred Scripture!"

A paperbound edition of the New Testament portion of our Douay-Rheims Bible. 1899 edition, photographically reproduced for absolute fidelity. Imprimatur by Cardinal Gibbons. Excellent for home or classroom use. No version surpasses the Douay-Rheims for accuracy.

A very optimistic book showing how an "ordinary" Catholic can become a great saint without ever doing anything "extraordinary"--just by using the many opportunities for holiness that to most people lie hidden in each day. Written with an assurance of success that is totally convincing and infectious. Many easy but infallible means of reaching great sanctity.

Belloc turns his powerful mind, erudition, robust common sense and supreme confidence in the Catholic Faith to a host of topics, includng The New Paganism, Legend, Usury, The Schools, The Two Cultures of the West, The Catholic Church and The Modern State, etc. Belloc predicted--and explains--the chaos we now witness. This brilliant work is a tonic sorely needed by Catholics today!

67 Questions and Answers on the Holy Eucharist--the Real Presence of Christ, Scriptural basis, Transubstantiation, the Mass as a sacrifice, Communion under one form, the state of grace as a requirement for receiving Communion, the results of frequent Communion, lack of spiritual improvement from frequent Communion, etc.

The story of 36 major Eucharistic Miracles from Lanciano, Italy in 800 to Stich, Bavaria in 1970. Details the official investigations. Tells where some are still venerated today. Covers Hosts that have bled, turned to flesh, levitated, etc.; plus, of Saints who have lived on the Eucharist alone. Reinforces the Church's doctrine of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament like no other book!

In this book, pivotal to all his historical insights, Belloc answers the question: What made Europe? He shows it was not the barbarians nor the Protestant Reformation, but the Catholic Faith that made Europe (and the worldwide civilization produced by Europe). Protestantism gravely wounded this our civilization, and only the Catholic Faith can rejuvenate it. It must return to that Faith or perish! This is a tremendous eye-opener on where we are today and where we must go from here!!

Convincing proof the devil does exist and still manifests his presence. Covers diabolical infestation, obsession and possession. Many famous cases of possession and exorcism, plus a general discussion of the devil. This is one of the best books on the subject of possession ever written. Discusses also Satan at Lourdes--to distract from the apparitions of 1858--and the devices of Satan to deceive us.

Former Title: Why Colleges Breed Communists. Absolutely devastates Evolution as a credible theory. Studies the history, the theories, the "proof," the propaganda campaign for, and the results of the theory of Evolution; plus gives the preponderating evidence against it. Great and sadly needed to dispel the now almost universal assumption that Evolution is true.

An incredibly popular and successful book. Explains the basic tenets of the Catholic Faith and why we hold them. Delves into the historical background of virtually everything people find hard to understand about our Religion, such as priestly celibacy, sacred images, the Church and the Bible, the primacy of Peter, Communion under one kind, invocation of the Saints, etc. First published in 1876, when there was much anti-Catholic sentiment in the U.S., it sold 1.4 million copies in 40 years and has been reprinted many times since.

The story, the message, and the meaning. Penetrates deeply into the theology of Fatima: the Rosary, daily duty, Eucharistic reparation, consecration and reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Hell and the prophecies, etc. Spells out the repeated papal pronouncements on the crucial relevance of Fatima to the entire world. As Pope Pius XII said, "The time for doubting Fatima is past; it is now time for action." One of our most popular titles.

Summarizes the Fatima messages as a return to a life of prayer, to the traditional prayer life of the Catholic Church, especially to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Great on the value of Holy Hours--a forgotten secret spiritual weapon.

St. Joseph obtains favors of any kind, but particularly in family problems, financial needs, purity, dangers, work, housing and a happy death. All the famous prayers: Novena for a Special Favor, Litany, 30 Days' Prayer, Memorare, for Purity, Conversion, a Happy Death, etc. A wonderful treasury of prayers!

This is now believed to be the original masterpiece of which The Imitation is a later, edited edition, with additions. Many believe Groote's original book is even better than The Imitation. A great masterpiece in its own right: brief one-sentence gems of spiritual wisdom; conveys the true Christian outlook--that "we have not here a lasting city" (Heb. 13:14), but must prepare for the one to come.

Describes and analyzes with the precision of a theologian and the artistry of a poet each of Our Lady's Seven Sorrows, relating them to our own spiritual life. Says, "We never advance more rapidly in love of the Son than when we travel by the Mother, and that what we have built most solidly in Jesus has been built with Mary. There is no time lost in seeking Him, if we go at once to Mary; for He is always there, always at home." Also, "He who is growing in devotion to the Mother of God is growing in all good things. His time cannot be better spent; his eternity cannot be more infallibly secured . . ." Scores of reasons to grow in devotion to the Blessed Virgin.

Refocuses our attention on the overriding (now "forgotten") message of Fatima: "Many souls go to Hell because there are none to sacrifice themselves and pray for them." Offers an easy method to fulfill Our Lady's request.

These fascinating dreams involve prophecy and reading of hearts, with a powerful spiritual message. Includes: To Hell and Back, Two Boys Attacked by a Monster, The Snake and the Rosary, and many more. These dreams led to many conversions and will instruct, admonish and inspire today!

It has ever been the practice of the Catholic Church to recommend to her spiritual children the meditation on man's "four last things--death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell." Keeping these sobering aspects of human destiny ever before our eyes, we will be that much less likely to fall into mortal sin and be lost eternally. Gives many facts we should meditate on as we contemplate death. This book has converted numerous Protestants in our day because of its cogent reasons for rectifying our lives.

Published in 1972, this was only the second major book critical of the New Mass, yet it is still probably the very beSt. The Catholic Church having come nearly completely apart since the New Mass was introduced, this book after 20-plus years now stands vindicated. Not a word has been changed--or needs to be in this challenging book!

Though written by a Protestant between 1824 and 1827, this book has been repeatedly reprinted by Catholic publishers because of the tremendous light it sheds on English history from Henry VIII (1509) thru George III (1820), showing, besides the infamous events that transpired then, that England was better off before the Reformation than after.

Our Lord said, "Learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart." (Matt. 11:29). And also, "Amen, I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven." (Matt. 18:3). This classic study in humility describes the nature of that virtue typical of all saints--the one without which none of us will enter Heaven. Says, "Impregnate yourself with humility, and you will soon find that all other virtues will follow without any effort on your part." A treasure filled with insights.
