This book unfolds the intersecting life stories of four important Catholic philosophers of the 20th century, namely, Jacques Maritain, Edith Stein, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Karol Wojtyla, and examine the salient themes of their respective philosophies. Exploring the lives of these four individuals will unlock for the reader the nature of Catholic philosophy, which always aspires to a higher wisdom and the discovery of the hidden harmony of the universe. The spiritual itinerary of these faithful scholars is part of a larger story, therefore, of the intimate relationship between faith and reason that is at the heart of Catholic intellectual life.

Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic Austin DeSantis is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute—that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first.

But when the aliens land at the Vatican, begin speaking Latin, and reveal themselves to be Catholic, the world turns upside down.

Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity’s first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he’ll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

The Sinner’s Guide is the most renowned work of one of the Church’s greatest spiritual masters of the sixteenth century. Long compared to The Imitation of Christ for its depth, urgency, and practical power, this classic has guided countless souls away from sin and toward lasting virtue. Its enduring influence led to translations into Italian, French, German, Polish, Latin, and Greek, an unmistakable mark of its universal appeal.

Unlike many spiritual works that focus narrowly on ideals, Venerable Louis confronts the full reality of the Christian life. He teaches not only how to pursue virtue, but how to uproot vice, resist temptation, and persevere in conversion. With clarity and fatherly directness, he addresses the conscience, exposing self-deception while offering concrete remedies rooted in grace.

Written intentionally for the laity, this book speaks with striking simplicity and authority. Its wisdom is not theoretical but lived, forged in suffering, humility, and fidelity to the Church. For readers seeking a serious, honest guide to moral and spiritual renewal, The Sinner’s Guide remains as relevant today as when it first stirred Christian hearts centuries ago.

Love is fierce. Love is patient and kind, as St. Paul tells us, but love is also fierce. Every parent of a special needs child must discover this.

The world looks different to a parent of a child with severe special needs. Those outside the family, looking in, usually see only the hardship or the beauty. There is nothing more tragic, they say. Or The child is an angel. But this is far from the lived reality.

In Love Fiercely, a Catholic father offers prayerful insight into the experience of raising and loving his eldest daughter. Elizabeth Bodoh is nearly blind, nonverbal, suffers from epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and loves music. She enjoys cuddles and eating. A shunt manages the fluid on her brain, and a wheelchair helps her family move her.

Through this book, Andrew Bodoh offers twelve bottom-line up-front Christian lessons for the parents of children with special needs, and for those who encounter them. In each lesson, Andrew weaves his personal narrative with Scriptural or prayerful reflections—from his memories of a neonatal specialist pressuring his wife to abort the pregnancy, to the health crises Elizabeth experienced even as Andrew’s wife delivered their fourth child. At times, Andrew was writing this book from the hospital, with Elizabeth. By embracing his family’s vulnerability, Andrew shows the joy of suffering for another, and the painful courage inherent in love.
