Jesus of Nazareth

Joseph Ratzinger

Ignatius Press, 2008

What an unexptected surprise!
I do not usually listen to audio books, but I made an exception when I ordered this one because I have a friend whose sight is fading who could only enjoy the book this way. I have already read (and marked) a copy of the print version, so I ordered an additional audio ...

Joan of Arc

Mark Twain

Ignatius Press, 1989

Beautiful and haunting
How amazing it is to find the usually sardonic, faithless Twain so moved to write a work as glorifying, uplifting and devoted as this novel! In fact, I read this book just to find out what Twain's angle might be. There is no angle, no slant to the story. It is told ...

The Ignatius Bible: Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition

Ignatius Press, 2005

Great Bible, Good News!
The Ignatius Bible: RSV Second Catholic Edition is everything I was looking for in a Bible. I already have several of the pocket sized bibles that I use for carrying back and forth to my Diaconate formation classes, so what I wanted was a larger format Bible that I ...

An Exorcist Tells His Story

Gabriele Amorth

Ignatius Press, 1999

A Brave and Sober look at a very REAL Problem
I just read a book that I am really glad I read. It is called An Exorcist tells his story by Fr. Gabriele Amorth. The book confirms what I always knew,An Exorcist Tells His Story that the devil is indeed real, possession is indeed real, and the fact that his antics ...

Saved in Hope: Spe Salvi

Pope Benedict XVI

Ignatius Press, 2008

"God is the foundation of hope"
So says Benedict XVI in Spe Salvi (paragraph 31), his second encyclical, and the entire elegant and closely reasoned essay is an argument in defense of the claim. As is typical of papal encyclicals, references in Spe Salvi tend to focus on scripture, the patristic ...

Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church: General Audiences, 15 March 2006-14 February 2007

Pope Benedict XVI

Ignatius Press, 2007

Insightful and heartfelt
Once again, Pope Benedict's talents for brilliant insight and concise communication are made evident in this book. "Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church" is as profound as it is accessible. Benedict demonstrates, as expected, that he is not only a scholar, but a ...

Fire Within: St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and the Gospel-On Prayer

One of my all-time favorites
I've read this book twice now, and it places in the top 5 books that I've ever read. It guides us through the stages of Spiritual growth as experienced and taught by St. Theresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. It's the best book I've ever found on the subject. ...

Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life: A Practical Guide to Prayer for Active People
Robert J. Spitzer

Ignatius Press, 2008

Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, espoused the ideal of becoming "contemplatives in action." He was convinced that contemplation (the deep awareness and appropriation of the unconditional love of God) should affect our actions, and that our actions need to be brought back to contemplation. These five dimensions of the ...

Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told By a Cat

Jeanne Perego

Ignatius Press, 2008

Chico and the Man
I really wanted to love this book. After all, the narrator is a ginger tabby (my favorite color and type of cat) and the subject is Pope Benedict XVI (a learned and compassionate man), who, as titular head of the Roman Catholic Church, is one of the most highly revered ...

Chance or Purpose? Creation, Evolution and a Rational Faith

Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn

Ignatius Press, 2007

Schoenborn is the man.
A great discussion of Darwinism as a world-view vs Christianity. Schoenborn shows how evolution as a scientific theory is perfectly compatible with Catholicism.

Dale Ahlquist

A must read. Common Sense is no longer very common.
This book is absolutely remarkable. Although G. K. Chesterton wrote his material almost 100 years ago, his writings are so poignant to anyone living in today's world. Dale Ahlquist informs us of a multitude of very important subjects addressed by Chesterton ...

Love in Truth: Caritas in Veritate
