Why All People Suffer: How a Loving God Uses Suffering to Perfect Us

Paul Chaloux

Dr. Chaloux demonstrates that suffering is not retribution from an angry, vengeful God but the saving action of a loving God who directs us away from evil and toward eternal joy in Heaven. Educated in his own school of suffering, Dr. Chaloux explains the four tasks of suffering that are essential in the economy of salvation and why, if suffering were to be abolished, no one would be saved. Using well-known stories from Scripture and the lives of the saints, he explains numerous other aspects of God’s use of evil and suffering in His plan for our salvation.

Patterns of Morality in the Bible

Michel Istas, SJ

The purpose of this book is to explore biblical revelation, to learn how it tries to shape these patterns. These books tend to focus on the many  commandments, laws and rules in the Bible; they focus on specific actions. But underlying these actions is something more basic, namely, the pattern. The pattern is fundamental. The book shows how the Bible describes such patterns, on the part both of God and of the people who respond to him. The patterns do not remain the same all through the Bible: they change from one book to another, because God reveals himself to people in different ways.

To people: because they become signs of Christ, who is God’s Word made flesh.- from Preface

It Is Right and Just: Why the Future of Civilization Depends on True Religion

Scott Hahn & Brandon McGinley

Scott Hahn and Brandon McGinley challenge our idea of religion and its role in society. They argue that to answer questions over religious liberty, justice, and peace, we must first reject the insidious lie perpetuated by secular-liberal culture: that religion is a private matter. Contrary to what political commentators and activists say, religion is not only relevant to justice and law, but is necessary for civilization to thrive. Recover the public nature of true religion, this book argues, and watch as a revolution unfolds.

Deadly Indifference: How the Church Lost Her Mission, and How We Can Reclaim It

Eric Sammons

Sammons explores why the New Evangelization was destined to fail and explains how the decision to de-emphasize the Church’s exclusive role in the process of salvation inevitably led to mass abandonment of the sacraments. He identifies how certain teachings were ignored or toned down―leading to their sudden collapse―and how progressives elevated ecumenism over evangelization and supplanted proclamation of the Gospel with “dialogue.” Deadly Indifference is both a vital examination of the current crisis facing the Church and a blueprint for how to overcome it.

The Church and the Middle Ages (1000–1378): Cathedrals, Crusades, and the Papacy in Exile (Reclaiming Catholic History)

Steve Weidenkopf

Weidenkopf highlights some of our greatest saints—Francis, Dominic, Anselm, Aquinas, and Catherine of Siena—and dispels nine commonly accepted misconceptions about the era, which was an exciting period of enduring faith, reform, cultural achievement, as well as defeat and division. With accounts of pivotal events and inspiring stories of the people who shaped the Church during the eleventh through fourteenth centuries, Weidenkopf provides a picture of an era where critics used events such as the Crusades and the relocation of the papacy to France to undermine the Church. The period also provided the hallmarks of Christian civilization—universities, cathedrals, castles, and various religious orders.
