September The Friendship Project

The Catholic Woman’s Guide to Making and Keeping Fabulous, Faith-Filled Friends MICHELE FAEHNLE AND EMILY JAMINET Foreword by Rev. Larry Richards Do you want your friendships to be deeper and more meaningful than Facebook “likes”? Are you looking for a community of companions to create true spiritual bonds?

Michele Faehnle and Emily Jaminet—bestselling authors of Divine Mercy for Moms—provide a practical primer for any Catholic woman seeking ways to deepen old friendships and develop new ones of virtue.

Faehnle and Jaminet are busy wives, mothers, and volunteers. In the midst of their active lives, they realized that making good friends and nurturing their current relationships were hard work. They needed to continually work to develop deep, meaningful relationships that would allow them to be themselves, to care for others and be cared for, and to deepen their Catholic faith.

They employ Church teaching and tell us stories of their own friendships and those from the lives of saints and biblical women—including the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth, St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her sister Servant of God Léonie, and Sts. Perpetua and Felicity. Not only will you be drawn closer to friends both new and old but you’ll also be reminded how these friendships—and the virtues you practice to nurture them—draw you closer to God.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: • Divine Mercy for Moms sold more than 11,000 copies in less than a year.

• Michele Faehnle and Emily Jaminet speak at a variety of parishes and women’s conferences. They have appeared on EWTN’s At Home with Jim and Joy, as well as a number of Catholic radio stations.

“Brandon Vogt makes clear, reasonable arguments that will resonate with people from any faith background.”

Jennifer Fulwiler Radio host and author of Something Other Than God

October Why I Am Catholic (and You Should Be Too) BRANDON VOGT

With atheism on the rise and millions tossing off religion, why would anyone consider the Catholic Church?

Brandon Vogt, bestselling author and content director for Bishop Robert Barron’s Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, shares his passionate search for truth, a journey that culminated in the realization that Catholicism was right about a lot of things, maybe even everything. His persuasive case for the faith reveals a vision of Catholicism that has answers our world desperately needs and reminds those already in the Church what they love about it.

A 2016 study by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 25 percent of adults (39 percent of young adults) describe themselves as unaffiliated with any religion.

Vogt was one of those so-called “nones.” When he converted to Catholicism in college, he knew how confusing that decision was to many of his friends and family. But he also knew that the evidence he discovered pointed to one conclusion: Catholicism is true. To his delight, he discovered it was also exceedingly good and beautiful.

Why I Am Catholic traces Vogt’s spiritual journey, making a refreshing twenty-first-century case for the faith and answering questions being asked by agnostics, nones, and atheists.

With references to Catholic thinkers such as G. K. Chesterton, Venerable Fulton Sheen, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and Bishop Robert Barron, Vogt draws together lines of evidence to help seekers discover why he or she should be Catholic.

“Whether you're a skeptic, a seeker, or even a former Catholic, pick up this book and find a refreshing case for the Catholic Faith.”

Rev. Dwight Longenecker Pastor, author, and blogger

“Like all of Brandon Vogt’s writing, his compelling new book is accessible, inviting, practical, inspirational, and, in the deepest sense, true.”

Rev. James Martin, S.J.

Author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything

“For years, I’ve longed for a book that I could recommend to parents whose children have left the Church or to people who have lost their faith. This is that book. If you know someone struggling with belief—or if you yourself have questions or doubts—then do yourself a favor: buy this book, read it, and then share it with others.”

Brant Pitre

Catholic theologian, apologist, and author of The Case for Jesus

FEATURES & BENEFITS • Brandon Vogt’s newsletter reaches 75,000 people and he has thousands of daily visitors at StrangeNotions.com, a website designed as a place for Catholics and atheists to meet.

31 Daily Meditations to Help You Live and Love as She Does EDWARD LOONEY A Heart Like Mary’s is the perfect book for all Catholics wishing to begin or deepen their devotion to Mary.

REV. EDWARD LOONEY is a Marian theologian and Catholic author and speaker who serves as a priest in the Diocese of Green Bay. He is the author of seven books.

In the midst of feeling lost in his prayer life and relationship with God, Looney found himself reflecting on who Mary is and how he could be more like her.

Based heavily on scripture, Church teaching, and Looney’s personal experience, A Heart Like Mary’s gently teaches us how to imitate Mary’s love for others and devotion to God. Each day provides a scriptural quote or message from one of Mary’s apparitions, a simple yet reflective insight into a unique characteristic of Mary’s heart, and practical ways to mirror her heart. We also will be invited to call upon Mary’s intercession, asking her to give us a heart like hers. Each meditation concludes with a challenge to incorporate a love for Mary into our prayer life and action toward others.

This easy-to-read and engaging monthly devotional is full of practical lessons that address the personal challenges we face as Mary’s fellow pilgrims walking the path of faith.

September Super Girls and Halos

My Companions on the Quest for Truth, Justice, and Heroic Virtue MARIA MORERA JOHNSON Award-winning author Maria Morera Johnson follows up her bestselling book, My Badass Book of Saints, with a unique and daring exploration of the cardinal virtues through the saints and heroines of science fiction, fantasy, and comic books.

• Temperance changes how we understand Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games series and St. Mary McKillop, as well as Nyota Uhura of Star Trek fame and St. Kateri Tekakwitha.

With Johnson’s enthusiasm as a guide, you’ll be inspired to embrace the virtues anew and find your faith in your favorite stories.

“A picture is worth a thousand words. Mike Aquilina, with skill and encyclopedic knowledge, gives new meaning to this old maxim. Everyone should have this book.�

Cardinal Donald Wuerl Archbishop of Washington, DC

November A History of the Church in 100 Objects

MIKE AQUILINA WITH GRACE AQUILINA In this unique, rich, and eye-catching book, popular Catholic author and EWTN host Mike Aquilina tells the Christian story through the examination of 100 objects and places. Some, like Michelangelo’s Pietà, are priceless works of art.

Others, like a union membership pen, don’t hold much monetary value. But through each of them, Aquilina offers a memorable and rewarding look at the history of the Church.

When Catholics tell their story, they don’t just write it in books. They preserve it in memorials, monuments, artifacts, and museums. They build grand basilicas to house tiny relics.

In this stunning book, Aquilina and his writer-daughter Grace, show how the history of the Church didn’t take place shrouded in the mists of time. It actually happened through things that we can see, visit, and sometimes hold in our hand.

The Christian answer to Neil MacGregor’s New York Times bestseller A History of the World in 100 Objects, Aquilina’s A History of the Church in 100 Objects introduces you to: • The Cave of the Nativity • The Holy Grail • Pope Benedict XV’s Fountain Pen • The Wittenberg Door Each of these and the other ninety-six items and places in the book tell part of the Christian story. Each is an essential piece of the story of salvation.

FEATURES & BENEFITS • Mike Aquilina has been the host of ten series on EWTN and wrote the companion volumes to the NBC miniseries A.D.: The Bible Continues and for the MGM remake of the movie Ben-Hur. • Features a full-color interior.

“My heart was stirred. A beautiful book about how God works through real stuff in the Incarnation to bring the mysteries of the spiritual realm into this phenomenal world. As usual, Mike Aquilina uses words with real craft and art to take us beyond words and into the mysteries of God in Christ.”

John Michael Talbot

Catholic musician, author, and founder of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity

“Catholicism means ‘stuff counts,’ because God chose the stuff of this world to bring his people to salvation.

Mike Aquilina tells the story of the Church through some very important ‘stuff,’ in an engaging and thoughtprovoking contribution to the New Evangelization.”

George Weigel

Catholic author and distinguished senior fellow and William E. Simon chair in Catholic Studies Ethics and Public Policy Center

“Through the ordinary matter of desks and stones, tunics and textbooks, bottles and parchment, the Aquilinas weave together a beautiful picture of God at work.”

Emily Stimpson

Creator of The Catholic Table and coauthor of The Catholic Almanac

MIKE AQUILINA is a Catholic author, popular speaker, poet, and songwriter who serves as the executive vice president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

“Drawing Closer to Christ is not simply a ‘how-to’ manual but an introduction to a way of life.”

From the foreword by Most Rev. Robert Barron Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles

October Drawing Closer to Christ

A Self-Guided Icon Retreat JOSEPH MALHAM Foreword by Most Rev. Robert Barron Icons are not only beautiful works of art but also sacred windows into an unseen world.

Internationally acclaimed iconographer Joseph Malham takes you through an eight-day, selfguided contemplative retreat to create your own icon of the Christ Pantocrator (Ruler of All).

For fifteen hundred years, icons have helped Christians meditate and pray. Used in homes and public worship, these symbolic images represent the presence of Christ and the saints. In Drawing Closer to Christ, Malham invites people of all levels of artistic talent to the contemplative experience of creating a sacred image.

Using the ancient icon Christ Pantocrator as your pattern, you will learn how to enter into the process of tracing the icon into the wood, applying gold leafing to the halo around Christ’s head, and blending the paint to create beautiful colors that radiate holiness. Malham provides a list of supplies needed for each stage and step-by-step directions with detailed photographs.

The first seven days of the retreat follow the rhythm of the Genesis account of creation. On the eighth day, you’ll learn that while the finished icon represents the personality of the artist, it is still Christ. You will be transformed by your sacred image.

“As a Catholic, I have always been drawn to icons without knowing much about them. Joseph Malham’s beautiful new book not only taught me about the spiritual logic of iconography but it also led me to believe that even I would be able to create a gold leaf halo and paint the face of Christ.”

Paula Huston

Author of One Ordinary Sunday

“A thing of beauty, an invitation into the heart of the holy through art.

Joseph Malham takes the reader gently by the hand and guides them through the stages of writing an icon, making such prayerful creating accessible to everyone.”

Christine Valters Paintner Author of The Artist’s Rule

FEATURES & BENEFITS • The foreword was written by Most Rev. Robert Barron, auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles and founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

The Catholic Hipster started out in 2014 with a little bit of fun—the Catholic Hipster of the Year contest—on Tighe’s blog.

Tighe and a group of hipster friends—including Sarah Vabulas, Anna Mitchell, Rev. Kyle Schnippel, and Lisa M. Hendey—explore the beautiful weirdness of the Catholic Church and invite others along for the journey. They share their love for extraordinary saints, offer up obscure prayers, provide short reflections on something quirky and Catholic they’ve rediscovered, and dare readers to put their faith into action with some cool and challenging practices they can do on their own.

Discover what’s awesome about: • Wearing a scapular • Applying Laudato Si’ at your local farmer’s market • Learning to see Christ in beer-making The Catholic Hipster Handbook will help readers realize the only way to go against what’s normal and accepted in the culture is to be authentically Catholic.

FEATURES & BENEFITS • Tighe’s short-form podcast, The Chimney, is featured on the Catholic Channel on SiriusXM Radio.

“The pages of this book are the work of a true theologian.�

From the foreword by Scott Hahn Catholic theologian, author, and speaker Founder of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology

November God Is Not Nice

Rejecting Pop Culture Theology and Discovering the God Worth Living For ULRICH L. LEHNER Foreword by Scott Hahn Ulrich L. Lehner reintroduces Christians to the true God—not the polite, easygoing, divine therapist who doesn’t ask much of us but the Almighty God who is unpredictable, awe-inspiring, and demands our entire life. Stripping away the niceties, Lehner shows that God is more strange and beautiful than we imagine, and he wants to know and transform us in the most intimate way.

With his iconoclastic new book God Is Not Nice, Ulrich L. Lehner, one of the most promising young Catholic theologians in America, challenges the God of popular culture and many of our churches and reintroduces the God of the Bible and traditional Christianity. As Lehner writes in the book’s introduction, “We all need the vaccine of the true transforming and mysterious character of God: The God who shows up in burning bushes, speaks through donkeys, drives demons into pigs, throws Saul from his horse, and appears to St. Francis.

It’s only this God who has the power to challenge us, change us, and make our lives dangerous. He sweeps us into a great adventure that will make us into different people.”

This book is not safe. It may startle and annoy many people—including those who purport to teach and preach the Gospel but are missing its point, according to Lehner.

God Is Not Nice intends to overthrow all of our popular misconceptions about God, inviting us to ask deeper questions about the nature of our lives and our relationship with him.

“A bracing antidote to the vapidness of American megachurch religiosity, a challenge to all Christians to reencounter the God of the Bible in full, and, for Catholics, a primer on an important aspect of the New Evangelization.”

George Weigel

Catholic author and distinguished senior fellow and William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies Ethics and Public Policy Center

“This book is a bombshell in the playground of the contemporary sentimentalism and therapeutic deism that often masquerades as Christianity—one of those rare works that brilliantly diagnoses the errors of our time and responds to them with clarity and charity. In our age of ‘safe spaces,’ it should be required reading for college and university students who likely haven’t yet met the God of the Bible—a God who is good, but by no means safe.”

Brant Pitre

Catholic theologian, apologist, and author of The Case for Jesus

FEATURES & BENEFITS • Ulrich L. Lehner is an award-winning author and esteemed Catholic scholar and commentator who has been published

by Oxford University Press and First Things.

November The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments

A Catholic Journey through Recovery SCOTT WEEMAN In the first book to integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelvestep programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments.

978-1-59471-725-3 • 192 pages • $15.95 On-Sale Date: November 10, 2017 Foreign Rights: World • 5.5" x 8.5" • Paperback Category: Catholicism / Personal Growth Imprint: Ave Maria Press

Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011. He made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various addictions to find spiritual wholeness.

In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle of getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments.

Catholics in recovery, those moving toward it, and the people who love them will recognize Weeman’s story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He explains how: • Reconciliation strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends.

• The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ.

Boldly challenging and brimming with compassion, Weeman will help you will discover inspiration and hope.

FEATURES & BENEFITS • The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments is the first book to integrate the Twelve Steps with the spiritual wisdom of the Catholic Church.

“At last, a book that orients the wisdom of Twelve-Step recovery toward the grace of the sacraments and vice versa.”

August Christian Labyrinths A Celtic Coloring Book DANIEL MITSUI

Acclaimed artist Daniel Mitsui draws on medieval manuscripts such as the Book of Kells to create thirty original coloring pages that will help you contemplate your faith and grow closer to Christ.

As you color, you will reveal prayers and verses hidden in the Celtic-style labyrinths.

In this his third and most ambitious adult coloring book, Mitsui creates illustrations inspired by medieval manuscripts such as the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels. This Celtic style is characterized by intricate knot or spiral decorations and highly stylized calligraphy. Mitsui was also fascinated by the tile labyrinths decorating the floors of medieval churches.

He combines these two popular genres into beautifully detailed coloring pages.

Christian Labyrinths features three types of artwork, each offering a unique meditative experience: • Labyrinth pages portray Biblical scenes surrounded and connected by paths made up of interconnected knots and spirals.

• “Carpet” pages feature richly detailed patterns forming traditional Christian shapes.

• Cryptogram pages contain hidden messages in the design that are revealed when color fills them.

Following the practice of great monastic scribe Eadfrith of Lindisfarne, Mitsui has included a single, small, deliberate mistake on each page of the book, providing an extra level of challenge and interest to coloring enthusiasts.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: • The Mysteries of the Rosary sold out its first printing in less than two months.

• Daniel Mitsui has been interviewed by several media outlets, including Aleteia, CatholicTV, and Rome Reports about his artwork and coloring books.

August ABCs of the Christian Life

The Ultimate Anthology of the Prince of Paradox G. K. CHESTERTON Foreword by Peter Kreeft Aside from C. S. Lewis, no other Christian writer of the twentieth century has had more influence on faith and understanding than the enigmatic G. K. Chesterton. This anthology combines twenty-six of the most essential passages from his works—from “A” for asceticism to “Z” for Zion— offering an unique roundup of Chesterton’s ideas on the Christian life.

The Christian thinker and apologist offers his thoughts on a variety of topics, including: • Why does it make good sense to be Catholic in the modern world?

• How might a Christian balance the feasts of saints with Christ’s call to asceticism?

• What is useful about holy foolishness?

• What is dangerous about “comparative religion”?

978-0-87061-310-4 • 192 pages • $16.95 On-Sale Date: August 11, 2017 Foreign Rights: World English • 5.5" x 8.5" • Paperback Category: Theology Imprint: Christian Classics

G. K. CHESTERTON (1874–1936), who converted to Catholicism in 1922, is one of the most respected Catholic authors of the twentieth century. His book Orthodoxy is a classic of Christian apologetics, and his clerical detective, Father Brown, is second only to Sherlock Holmes as the most beloved fictional sleuth in history.

PETER KREEFT is an internationally renowned Chesterton expert and has been a professor of philosophy at Boston College since 1965.

Chesterton converted to Catholicism midway through his career of writing some of his century’s most important spiritual and theological works, including Orthodoxy, Saint Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox, and Saint Francis of Assisi.

You’ll come away with a better understanding not only of Chesterton, but of the Christian faith as well.

FEATURES & BENEFITS • G. K. Chesterton remains one of the most quoted Christian authors of the last century.

• This anthology provides a fresh approach to reading Chesterton.

“A pleasing packaging of the ever-reliable, ever-relevant, ever-resourceful and everlasting G. K. Chesterton. I’m ready for a couple hundred more of these!”

November The Spirit of Simplicity

JEAN-BAPTISTE CHAUTARD, O.C.S.O. Translated by Thomas Merton Preface by Elias Dietz, O.C.S.O. Few people have ever seen or heard of The Spirit of Simplicity. It has been hidden for almost seventy years after quietly being published by the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1948. Anonymously translated and annotated by a young monk named Thomas Merton, the book’s author is Jean-Baptiste Chautard, the famous French Cistercian whose only other book, The Soul of the Apostolate, has been a favorite of modern saints and popes, including Pope emeritus Benedict XVI. “Only a very inadequate idea of exterior simplicity can be arrived at if we do not trace it back to its true source: interior simplicity,” Chautard wrote at the beginning of the book. He is writing to his fellow Cistercians, but he might as well be speaking to twenty-first century Christians. He goes on to lay out the best disciplines that a monk—or anyone—might practice to find the elusive simplicity, with quotations from St. Benedict, St. Bernard, and other pillars of monastic life and spirituality. A dozen photographs of Cistercian architecture illustrate how principles of simplicity are incorporated into Cistercian daily life.

Merton surrounds Chautard’s text with his own remarks on simplicity, translations of classic texts by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and commentary that allows readers to pursue the themes of simplicity in their own lives.

FEATURES & BENEFITS: • Jean-Baptiste Chautard’s The Soul of the Apostolate has sold hundreds of thousands of copies in many languages.

• Thomas Merton, translator and coauthor, is the bestselling Catholic author of the late-twentieth century.

“This is a treasure of monastic spirituality that brings together the hearts, minds, and insights of two of the greatest Trappist authors of the modern era: JeanBaptiste Chautard and Thomas Merton!”

Rev. Daniel P. Horan, O.F.M.

August The Imitation of Christ

A Timeless Classic for Contemporary Readers THOMAS À KEMPIS Translated by William C. Creasy Foreword by Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R. For nearly six centuries, The Imitation of Christ

by Thomas à Kempis has been the most widely read and translated spiritual book after the Bible.

Although it has been printed in a number of different languages and hundreds of editions, William Creasy’s translation from Latin is the most highly acclaimed, the most readable, and the most popular English-language version available. First published thirty years ago by Ave Maria Press, this new edition of the timeless classic includes a new preface by Creasy.

978-0-87061-231-2 • 256 pages • $17.95 On-Sale Date: August 11, 2017 Foreign Rights: World English • 5.5" x 8.5" • Paperback Category: Catholicism / Christology Imprint: Christian Classics

THOMAS À KEMPIS (1380–1471) was a medieval Dutch monk steeped in the mystical tradition of his time. A member of the Brothers of the Common Life, he was ordained a priest in 1413. His well-loved work, The Imitation of Christ, was written between 1420 and 1427 presumably as four booklets intended to instruct the novices of his community. It is one of Christian history’s best-known works on spiritual devotion.

WILLIAM C. CREASY taught in the English department at the University of California, Los Angeles for twenty-five years, retiring in 2005. He translated The Imitation of Christ in 1987.

REV. DENNIS BILLY, C.Ss.R., is a teacher, writer, and poet who holds the John Cardinal Krol Chair of Moral Theology as a scholar-in-residence at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

(800) 282-1865

“What would Jesus do?”

That’s the primary question Thomas à Kempis answers in his universally acclaimed work The Imitation of Christ.

In 114 short chapters organized into four simple parts, this handbook on the spiritual life offers guidance on dozens of topics such as resisting temptation, avoiding hasty judgments, putting up with others’ faults, remembering God’s many blessings, self-surrender, minding our own business, and performing humble works.

This book inspired the likes of St. Thomas More, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton.

Along with such classics as Augustine’s Confessions, Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle, and Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises, The Imitation of Christ continues to confront each generation of readers with the perennial truths of the Gospel.

FEATURES & BENEFITS • This new paperback edition has been redesigned and includes a foreword and an essay on “How to Read The Imitation of Christ” by Dennis J. Billy, C.Ss.R., a noted Catholic spiritual writer.

“William C. Creasy has done the Body of Christ a great service in giving us this translation. It would be difficult to find a more faithful, accessible, and easy-to-read contemporary English rendering of the text.”

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Beatification of Blessed Basil Moreau Blessed Basil Moreau (February 11, 1799–January 20, 1873) was the French priest who founded the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1837. The congregation’s name was taken from the small French town, Sainte-Croix, in which the congregation was founded. While the congregation was still in its early stages, Moreau sent members to developing areas of the world—Algeria, Canada, Bangladesh, and the United States—to make God known, loved, and served. Today, members of Holy Cross live and work in sixteen countries on five continents. In the United States, Holy Cross missionaries founded—and continue to serve—many schools, including the University of Notre Dame and the University of Portland. Moreau was beatified on September 15, 2007, in Le Mans, France.

Basil Moreau

Essential Writings Edited by Kevin Grove, C.S.C., and Andrew Gawrych, C.S.C. This definitive introduction to the life and vision of Blessed Basil Moreau is the first book to gather together the essential writings of the nineteenth-century French priest who founded the Congregation of Holy Cross, which is the religious order that founded the University of Notre Dame in 1842. This anthology provides generous selections from Moreau’s sermons, pastoral letters, educational treatises, and spiritual reflections, which reveal a figure who was no stranger to difficulty and conflict but also a man deeply committed to a hope that can only emerge from Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection.

Paperback: 978-0-87061-283-1, $25.00 Hardcover: 978-0-87061-288-6, $50.00

Basil Moreau Gary MacEoin

The story of Blessed Basil Moreau, the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross—a story of war, persecution, controversy, and sacrifice—comes to life in this new edition of the biography written by popular Catholic journalist Gary MacEoin. First published in 1962, MacEoin’s biography of Moreau is a comprehensive guide to the life of the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
