Constitutions, Decrees, Declarations
The Church's twenty-one ecumenical councils have been crucial to its understanding of its Biblical heritage. They have taken place less frequently in recent centuries, one three since 1517: Trent (1545-1563), Vatican I (1869-1870), and Vatican II (1962-1965).
Their absorption into the day-to-day belief and practice of individual Christians has always taken time. And Vatican II has been no exception. Hence the importance of this Vatican II's sixteen documents, without commentary or additional documentation, and in inclusive language. A new edition of the documents of the 21st ecumenical council, for the 21st century.

Everything You Need to Know but No One Ever Taught you
What do you say when someone asks, "You're a Catholic. So tell me, what do Catholics do when they pray a novena?"... Or when they "offer it up."... Or "wear a medal."... Or "go to Confession."... Or any of the dozens of other devotions that set Catholics apart from other Christians.
If you've ever been tongue-tied trying to explain Catholic practices...or if you have a few questions of your own ... or maybe you are just learning about Catholicism, you've got to read The How-To Book of Catholic Devotions.
The How-To Book of Catholic Devotions is the only book that not only provides the who, what, where, when, and why of the most time-honored traditions of the Church but also the how. more...Item # 24067

A Critical Edition
Jane Austen is arguably the finest female novelist who ever lived and Pride and Prejudice is arguably the finest, and is certainly the most popular, of her novels. An undoubted classic of world literature, its profound Christian morality is all too often missed or wilfully overlooked by today's (post)modern critics. Yet Austen saw the follies and foibles of human nature, and the frictions and fidelities of family life, with an incisive eye that penetrates to the very heart of the human condition. This edition of Austen's masterpiece includes an introduction by Professor Christopher Blum and several insightful critical essays by leading Austen scholars. more...Item # 51036

This volume of Beginning Apologetics examines Islam's major beliefs, and shows how to refute them using Scripture, history, and common sense.
This is a repectful attampt to understand Islam, to recognize its inherent weaknesses, and to evangelize Muslims. The authors suggest that we Catholics recall our heritage of faith united to reason and free will God has graciously bestowed upon us. They offer initial ways for Catholics to approach the Qur'an and Islam so as to offer the true Goood News of Jesus Christ from His authentic Gospel. This Good News is better and truer than the Qur'an. The Risen Jesus Christ has commissioned us to proclaim Him and all His teachings to Muslims and to the whole world.
