Saints Who Saw Hell
$27.95
Gnawing worms, unquenchable fire, utter darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth. With these fearful words, Jesus warned that hell is real … and that we could end up there.
Since the Early Church, Catholic saints and other visionaries have reported horrific scenes of eternal punishment. Dozens of saints throughout history have described the terrors of hell, and relayed horror of being separated from God for eternity so that we may see for ourselves and repent.
In Saints Who Saw Hell, you’ll find …
*The scriptural witness to the reality of hell, including the warnings of Jesus, the prophets, and the Apostles;
*Scenes from the second-century Apocalypse of Peter, the oldest surviving Christian vision of hell;
*Ancient reports collected by Pope St. Gregory the Great;
*Medieval accounts from St. Bede, the voyage of St. Brendan, St. Hildegard of Bingen, St. Catherine of Siena, and St. Frances of Rome.
*Witnesses to hell from the time of the Catholic Reformation, such as St. Teresa of Avila, Blessed Maria de Agreda, and Blessed Richard of St. Anne;
*Visions from later centuries, such as those of St. Veronica Giuliani, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, St. John Bosco, the children of Fatima, and St. Faustina Kowalska;
*… and other accounts from those who insist they have witnessed the fate of the damned.
The scenes in these pages, varying in detail and source, all testify to one harrowing truth:
Hell is the final guarantee that what we do really matters.
For us here on earth, a peak at the grisly tortures of hell is sometimes what we really need to redouble our efforts at achieving the glorious sweetness of heaven.

Prayer In The Digital Age
$16.99Add to cartThe digital age is an age of information overload. In this noisy, technology-driven world, full of important news and urgent messages, spending silent time in prayer can seem impossible.
In his second book, Matt Swaim brings to light the obstacles to prayer inherent in our digitally-connected culture and explores both the challenges and benefits of living a Christian life in the 21st century. Drawing on the spiritual wisdom of such masters as St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Therese of Lisieux, and Venerable Pope John Paul II, Swaim provides practical suggestions for learning how to “unplug” and incorporate prayer into one’s daily life.
Delve into how technology truly affects our faith:
In a culture suffering from information overload, what’s the difference between knowing facts about God and actually knowing God?
How does our desire to be entertained interfere with knowing God as He really is, rather than just as we want to perceive Him?
What are the distinctions between employing media and information as tools to aid evangelization and spiritual growth while avoiding a purely consumer approach to the faith?
How can information overload deaden our ability to listen? -

Red White Blue And Catholic
$14.99Add to cartWhen’s the last time you consciously thought about being an American citizen? The last time you thought about being both a citizen and a Christian? If you’re like most Americans, it probably had something to do with a hot button political issue, and it came up around the time you were headed to a voting booth.
But, as Stephen P. White says, most of how we live as Catholic citizens doesn’t happen in a voting booth. Most of the ways in which we shape our nation happen elsewhere. The Church’s work of evangelization and her contribution to the good of society are inseparable, and as Catholic citizens we are called to do more than vote.
Think of this book as a Catholic guide to faithful citizenship for the 364 days of the year that aren’t the first Tuesday in November. As Catholic citizens, we are called to be sensitive to the needs of our neighbors. We are called to care about both physical poverty and spiritual poverty. But most importantly, we are called to follow Christ.
