One of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian philosophy, The City of God provides an insightful interpretation of the development of modern Western society and the origin of most Western thought. Contrasting earthly and heavenly cities--representing the omnipresent struggle between good and evil--Augustine explores human history in its relation to all eternity. In Thomas Merton's words, "The City of God is the autobiography of the Church written by the most Catholic of her great saints."
This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition is a complete and unabridged version of the Marcus Dods translation.

Essential Biography of St. Patrick
Discover how a boy became devoted to the people who enslaved him, returned to their shores, and changed Ireland forever...
He was taken from his home in England and dragged across the sea to Ireland. When he escaped, he traveled on the European continent, lived for a while as a monk, and then returned as a missionary to the people who had enslaved him.
Many legends surround the life of St. Patrick. He competed with Druids and negotiated with tribal leaders. He traveled all over the emerald isle bringing both Christianity and the Roman Empire to its shores. J. B. Bury, the first modern biographer of St. Patrick, sought to find the man beneath the layers of myth and legend. more...Item # 51047

The Life and Times of Francis of Assisi
This warm, richly detailed biography brings the beloved saint alive in all his human and profoundly spiritual dimensions.
Malcolm Muggeridge wrote of God's Fool: " Julien Green's book is beautifully written, well researched and altogether a masterpiece. Readers of it have the privilege not just of learning all about St. Francis, but of seeming to participate in his sublimely crazy ministry. To say that it is finely done is not enough; it is enchanting."

Celebrate the writings of this nineteenth-century Carmelite nun who is remembered most for her letters, her poetry, and her "simple way" to holiness as described in her autobiography.
The profound impact Thérèse had upon spirituality in the twentieth century was recognized by her swift canonization only 28 years after her death and again in 1997 by Pope John Paul II, who named her a Doctor of the Church.
This book, with its concise overview of St. Thérèse's writings, will be appreciated by all devotees of the Little Flower.
