Brave New Family A collection of G. K. Chesterton's provocative writings on a subject close to his heart--the family, and the corresponding themes of men and women, children, sex, marriage and divorce. The family was a central element in Chesterton's vision, a unifying theme of his literary work. His eloquent defense of the sacredness of the home is even more applicable in our times because of the tremendous moral problems in our society that threaten the modern family. |

Right and Reason Ethics both in theory and practice. Phrased in non-technical language, Right and Reason is a thoroughly competent book in the philosophy of Ethics, which gives the science of morality from the Aristotelian-Thomistic, common-sense school of thought--which is none other than the Perennial Philosophy of the Ages, the philosophy outside of which one's positions quickly become absurd and all reasoning ends up in dead-ends. |

What to Say to the Penitent Father Doyle admits that for years he found it "a most difficult and frustrating task" to think of something suitable to say to penitents in confession. Then he had an inspiration: he would base his spiritual direction on the Epistles and Gospels from the upcoming Sunday Mass. "Then," he says, "when the person hears the Epistle or Gospel read again on the following Sunday, the chances are good that the words of the confessor will be recalled and suitably applied." |

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.
