The Life and Revelations of Ann Catherine Emmerich Vol 1Fr. K. E, Schmoger, CSsRBeatified in 2004 by Saint John Paul II, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich stands as a staunch sign of contradiction to the modern world's misguided rationalism and disbelief. She lived at a time when the Church was under complete temporal assault, with impiety on the rise and political losses abounding, all of which made her life of suffering, piety, and special graces all the more potent.Recorded by Fr. Carl E. Schmoeger in the latter half of the 1800s,The Life and Revelations of Anne Catherine Emmerich shows the virtues of this pious nun, which far exceed the visions, revelations, and stigmata she received. Here is the story of a classically holy Bride of Christ: she was sickly, zealous, and extremely charitable; she lacked any self-interest, which made it all the more difficult for her when her visions and supernatural sufferings became public knowledge. Her divine favors, wondrously recounted in this biography, included visions of the lives of Our Lord and Our Lady, as well as the stigmata and other wounds of grace.

Fatima: The Apparition that Changed the WorldJean HeimannHardcover Few place-names in the Christian world conjure up such powerful images and associations as that of this humble town in Portugal. For it was there that Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children beginning in 1917—apparitions that are intimately linked to pious Catholic practices such as devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the five first Saturdays, and daily recitation of the Rosary with the Fatima prayer, as well as miracles attested to even by non-believers, such as the “day the sun danced.” The Virgin’s message, as it always is, was penance. But she also predicted world historical events, such as the rise and fall of communism, the Second World War, and the attempted assassination of Pope St. John Paul II. She promised refuge in her Immaculate Heart to all who approach her—a promise extended, and urgently needed, today.

The Desecrators: Defeating the Cancel Culture Mob and Reclaiming One Nation Under God Deal W. Hudson, Matt Schlapp The enemy is no longer hidden in the dark but instead operates in broad daylight. Its attacks on Americans are clear and intensifying: cancel culture, wokeness, public shaming, urban violence, “whiteness,” and critical race theory. The enemy also seeks to undermine the sacredness of human life, failing to provide basic protection for the lives of the unborn. This enemy is called the Desecrators. The Desecrators tear down not only monuments but human nature, the biblical-natural conception of marriage, the family, parental rights, fact-based education, traditional moral values, and the Church.
Communism and the Conscience of the West Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen DD In Communism and the Conscience of the West, Sheen explains the problems with society stemming from socialism and communism, which continue to infect universities and political discourse today. This timeless book exposes communism’s defects, its attitude toward the family, the decline of historical liberalism, and the rise of the antireligious spirit that pervades our world. Readers will be impressed as Sheen diagnoses the issues facing our once peaceful cities, with history being put on trial, scrubbed, rewritten, and explained in terms of class hate. While communism destroys human freedom, Sheen illustrates how man is free as a result of two guarantees: one economic and the other spiritual. The economic enables man to call something his own which is outside of himself. The spiritual is the soul, which makes man independent of an earthly tyrant or a political dictator. In short, man’s soul is his own on the inside, as his property is his own on the outside.
Way to Happiness Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen DD Every human person seeks happiness, but few find it, because they have not discovered the source of all happiness: God.

In a culture stricken with anxiety, boredom, despair, and fear, Sheen desires to reignite healing, hope, and contentment in the reader. While the secular world holds the mistaken belief that hunger for infinity can be satisfied by an infinity of material things, Sheen warns that they really wish for the infinity of divine love. Addressing the philosophy of pleasure, Sheen reminds the reader of the centrality of self-discipline and detachment.
