Commentary on the Book of Psalms To exhaust his intellectual and devotional energies in writing, he prepared for posterity his very own commentary on each of the Psalms.

Key to the Psalms While the Psalms remain central to the Church's official prayer, and are used in every Mass, in popular piety they have fallen out of use. Catholics who discover them afresh will want to make them an important part of their own personal and family prayers. The special focus on how to pray the Psalms makes this book more than just another biblical exegesis. |

Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture, A This book is a great introductory Bible study all by itself - for it brings out the Catholic teachings that are hidden in Sacred Scripture!

Saint John and the Apocalypse Catholics tend to shy from St. John’s Apocalypse (or “Revelation”), and understandably so: perhaps no other book of the Bible has been more abused by Protestants who claim to find in its mysterious symbols the basis for vain prophecies and false teachings. But, explains C.C. Martindale, SJ, there is a right way to read the Apocalypse, and a great reward for those who do |

Scripture by Topic The sheer size and detail of Sacred Scripture intimidate most readers. The trick is to read it in organized fashion, with Catholic teaching ever in mind. That ís hard to do, on your own. But it never used to be a problem. This "topical Bible" sat beside Scripture itself on the shelves of priests, religious, and active laymen. Now Roman Catholic Books brings it back to print. |

Now, they're back in print in this handsome two-in-one volume. |

 Saints for SinnersChrist came not to call saints but to make them — often out of weak, stupid, and sinful men. That’s why the saints are not only models of holiness for us to imitate; they’re reminders that God’s grace can outshine every human flaw. As Alban Goodier’s classic Saints for Sinners shows us, even the greatest saints had to battle the same stubborn vices, temptations of the flesh, and bouts of spiritual dryness that afflict you and me today.
