“Whatever I have learned,” writes Karl Keating, “I have learned from masters of the craft.”

In this memoir, the father of the modern Catholic apologetics movement traces his life’s work through the wisdom he has borrowed from twenty-five books written by “masters” both famous and obscure.

In delightful prose bearing Karl’s trademark erudition, precision, and wit, Booked for Life mixes anecdote and reflection with theological observations and prescriptions from nearly forty years engaged in defense of the Faith.

Anti-Catholics like to paint Church teachings in a way that makes them seem vain, backward, or superstitious, all in the hope of drawing people out of the Faith and into sects or unbelief.

Catholic apologists fight back with facts and sound arguments.

But there’s another area where the Church’s enemies tell their own false story of Catholicism: its history. Whether it’s from the media, in classrooms, or out of the mouths of pastors and politicians, we’ve all heard a version of Catholic history filled with unrelenting violence, ignorance, worldliness, and bigotry. It’s enough to make many believers question whether the Church truly was founded by Christ!

This kind of attack requires no less of a response from those who know the truth.

In The Real Story of Catholic History, Steve Weidenkopf gives it to you. Weidenkopf (The Glory of the Crusades) collects over fifty of the most common and dangerous lies about Catholic history and, drawing on his experience as a historian and apologist, shows how to answer them simply and powerfully.

Whether it’s claims about Catholicism’s supposedly pagan origins, old myths about Galileo or the Inquisition that never seem to go away, or more modern misconceptions that anti-Catholics cynically exploit, The Real Story provides the desperately needed corrective.

Packed with research and diligent in pursuit of the truth, while never whitewashing or explaining away the Church’s past faults when they’re found, The Real Story of Catholic History is an essential resource for every Catholic’s bookshelf. — Add to Cart

From the cross Jesus gave us his mother to be our mother, too: a singularly holy model, consoler, and intercessor for our spiritual journey.

Yet most Protestants—and too many Catholics—don’t understand the role that God wants her to play in our lives.

In Behold Your Mother, Tim Staples takes you through the Church’s teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary, showing their firm Scriptural and historical roots and dismantling the objections of those who mistakenly believe that Mary competes for the attention due Christ alone.

Combining the best recent scholarship with a convert’s in-depth knowledge of the arguments, Staples has assembled the most thorough and useful Marian apologetic you’ll find anywhere. He also shows how all the Marian doctrines are relevant—even essential—to a salvific faith in Jesus. From her divine maternity to her perpetual virginity, from her Immaculate Conception to her Assumption, the Church’s core teachings about Mary are intertwined with the mysteries of Christ.

In a word, Mary matters. Read Behold Your Mother and find out just how much. — Add to Cart

With book, Converts And Kingdoms, historian Diane Moczar has written a marvelous book about great converts who changed not just the Church but also the destiny of human civilization.

In her accessible and easy-to-read style she makes history come alive.

Mere centuries after its beginning as an obscure Jewish sect, the Catholic Church stormed the ancient Western world, and from its Roman remnants and barbarian tribes a united Christendom was forged. How do we explain this remarkable success? And what can we learn from it?

In Converts and Kingdoms, Professor Moczar tells the story of early Christianity’s faith, courage, and cunning—chronicling the labors of missionaries and martyrs (with no small help from Providence) to spread the gospel and lay the foundation for the most magnificent culture human history has ever known.

With her stirring narrative style, Dr. Moczar reveals a young Church ardently occupied with the great work of conversion: with saints and generals, priests and kings alike filled with zeal to make disciples of all nations. From the Roman temples at the heart of the old world to the Aztec altars on the border posts of the new, you will encounter heroic tales of the nascent Faith, including:

The emperor who put his trust in the one God rather than the myths and sorcery of his predecessors—and changed the course of the world to come.
The would-be hermit who became an accidental missionary—and helped birth the quintessential Catholic kingdom. Pious monarchs who repelled barbarian invaders—and then welcomed them into the Christian family.
The former slave boy who returned to the land of his pagan captors—and turned it into an island of saints and scholars.
The Marian miracle that scattered the demons of human sacrifice—and opened the door to a new Christian continent.

Within these pages you will find not only the story of the Church’s early missionary efforts but also an analysis of why they succeeded: providing you valuable lessons for re-evangelizing a modern West that has slipped into a new and insidious form of paganism.

Read Converts and Kingdoms today to be inspired by the convert-makers of the past, and to learn from them how to win the world anew for Christ. — Add to Cart

How was the Bible preserved?

What role does the Bible play in the Catholic Faith?

In Where We Got the Bible, Bishop Henry G. Graham explains how the Catholic Church compiled the sacred text, how medieval monks preserved it, and how Catholic scholars first gave Christians the Bible in their own languages. Along the way, Graham refutes myths about Catholic opposition to Scripture.

To his lively history of the Bible is added his conversion story, From the Kirk to the Catholic Church. Brought up a Calvinist in Scotland, Graham became a minister but found himself irresistibly drawn to the Catholic Faith, eventually becoming a bishop. — Add to Cart
