"They laughed when I said I could name all 27 books of the New Testament . . . but after I named them all in order, plus the 46 books of the Old Testament, they begged me to show them how I did it."

Memorize the Faith! will teach you and your children how to remember anything, but it's particularly useful to those involved in religious education: catechists and converts, CCD teachers, RCIA members, and homeschoolers of all ages.

Thanks to these delightful pages, you and your children can now tap into the power of the classical memory system that helped St. Thomas Aquinas become the Church's preeminent theologian, and made it easier for him to become one of its greatest saints.

By the time you finish this book, you will have memorized dozens of key teachings of the church, along with hundreds of precepts, traditions, theological terms, Scripture verses, and other elements of the faith that every good Catholic needs to know by heart.

If you don't have a year to study the 3,000 pages St. Thomas wrote, then turn to The One-Minute Aquinas: a fast-paced book that provides busy readers with readable explanations of the truths that, for 750 years now, have been sought out by kings, popes, and ordinary souls like you and me hungry to know God and to love him more.

Even while he was still alive, Dominican friar Albert of Cologne was widely called Magnus the Great. His contemporaries said St. Albert simply knew all there was to know; he was a scientist, theologian, and philosopher; a teacher, preacher, and negotiator; a shrewd shepherd and an unflinching defender of the Faith. The time has come to re-discover St. Albert\'s greatness, and to profit from his prodigious wisdom and virtue as did his famous student, St. Thomas Aquinas.
Author Kevin Vost presents St. Albert\'s brilliant scholarly career at the height of the Church\'s intellectual renewal in the thirteenth century. St. Albert was tireless (and courageous) in his leadership and works of reform as a Dominican provincial and diocesan bishop. Desperate popes pressed him into diplomatic missions, hoping that Magnus might succeed in making peace where lesser men had failed.
These pages not only tell St. Albert\'s story they share his lessons. Each chapter uses Albertine teachings, and the witness of the saint\'s life, to instruct, edify, and inspire us to greater holiness and more ardent love. Read St. Albert and see why the greatest man of his age has great things to offer our age as well.

"Lord, teach us to pray"--the petition of the most intimate followers of Jesus--remains the heartfelt petition of every Christian disciple down to the present day.

The divine gift of the Our Father is the foundation of our life of prayer, but it is only the beginning of how Jesus leads us through himself to the Father: then as now, he teaches the Church to pray, and he does the same for us in our individual prayer lives. Shane Kapler's Through, With, and In Him offers practical ways to open up this vital dimension of our spiritual lives, instructing us in how the Church's sacraments and private devotions unite us to the prayer continually issuing forth from the heart of Christ.

Jesus will continue to teach us if only we open our ears and eyes to his words and example. In this, as in all things, Christ is the Door. This new book by the author of The God Who is Love brings us to the threshold of that Door, and beyond. Open this book, and learn to pray anew.

Train for Strength in Body and Soul

Is your spirit faithful but your flesh flabby? Has your Temple of the Holy Spirit begun to creak and crumble? Then let Fit for Eternal Life show you how to build it up again.

Most any workout book can help you bulk up or slim down, but only here will you find a truly Christian approach to physical fitness. As Catholic psychologist and veteran bodybuilder Kevin Vost (author of Memorize the Faith!) reveals, God's command to "be perfect" applies not only to our moral life, but also to our bodies. By Him we were "wonderfully made" as creatures corporal and spiritual. The stronger and more enduring we make our bodies, the better we imitate Christ in whom perfect physical strength, endurance, and beauty were incarnated.
