Beckoning : A Novel
$19.95Add to cartTabby Long is a non-Christian girl in a Catholic school whose world gets turned upside down when her dad, who has never been a man of faith, experiences a miraculous healing on Good Friday. Her father’s dramatic religious conversion alienates her mother, who deserts the family. In her struggle to understand what has happened to her family, Tabby follows the suggestion of her school’s religion teacher, and she begins spending time reading Scripture while in Eucharistic Adoration.
Following the practice taught by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, she inserts herself into the biblical stories she reads. Through this process, she “time travels” to first-century Jerusalem, where she is Tabitha Longinus, the daughter of the centurion Gaius Cassius Longinus, who pierces the side of the crucified Jesus, incurs a spontaneous healing, and undergoes immediate conversion. Tabitha is a Gentile girl with Jewish friends and a mother who can’t accept her husband’s newfound (and dangerous) faith.
When her mother flees to Rome and her father retires from the army and leaves Jerusalem, Tabitha finds herself alone in the holy city, her life in jeopardy for having entered a part of the Temple that is off-limits to Gentiles. She is drawn into belief in Jesus through her friends who are close to the Apostles, even as she struggles to devise a way to save and reunite her family — a duty that consumes her in her modern-day life as well.
Tabitha’s experiences are rooted in the stories found in the first ten chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. On the last of several days of her Scripture meditations, Tabby emerges from Adoration with a newfound faith and clarity about how her family can be reunited and healed, all with the help of the Lord.

Destiny : An Historical Romance
$20.00Add to cartDestiny is an historical romance inspired by real events in the lives of the Frankish king Clotaire and his great love, Radegund. Set in the 6th century A.D., the author transforms Radegund, who, in real life became a nun and was then sanctified as a saint, into the fiery, sensual Deirdre who wrestles, as did Radegund herself, with her destiny: would she marry Clotaire, the man she has reason to hate, and be queen of the Franks? Or would she follow her spiritual yearnings and become a cloistered nun? Or is there another man in her life, the one she has recurring dreams about? Ironically, it is Clotaire’s mistress, a lowly field serf and whore, who clarifies Deirdre’s destiny when she reveals the truth behind the mysteries of Deirdre’s past. Felice is a powerful figure and Clotaire himself falls in love with her despite her low station and paganism, and he gives Felice herself a destiny she could never have imagined, but one which takes away from her what she most desires. The character of Clotaire is perhaps unique in romantic fiction: a man of great power, yet kindly when so moved, playful and humorous. As one of his old servants says of him,”He was always such a rascal.” Other characters add color and depth to this delightful and exciting novel set in an age when kings held sway and, with Christianity newly emerging, where the old world was falling away.

Passionate Troubadour
$25.00Add to cartPRINT ON DEMAND TITLE
Most lives of the saints are written backward, beginning with the saint’s achieved holiness. This lively story begins at the beginning, with Francis as a very human and, therefore, flawed man, a hopeless romantic who is slowly and painfully drawn by grace toward a destiny he does not desire.
More than simply picturing the patron saint of poverty, peace, ecology and animals, this book depicts Francis as a holy model for becoming fully oneself as a unique individual. From the age of fourteen until his death, this passionate man is forced to wrestle with his opposing personalities. On the one hand he is an ascetic influenced by the negative theology of his day. On the other hand he is a poet, troubadour, and joyful lover of life.
