The enduring influence of the Catholic Church has many sources, but in the first half of the 19th century, the foundations upon which the church had rested were shaken. For many people, liberalism in the guise of liberty, equality, and fraternity was the quintessence of the evils that shook those foundations. At the Vatican Council of 1869-1870, the church made an effort to set things right by defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. Author John W. O'Malley draws us into the bitter controversies over papal infallibility that at one point seemed destined to rend the church in two.

In 2007, Joseph Ratzinger published his first book as Pope Benedict XVI in order “to make known the figure and message of Jesus”.

In this 1905 collection of essays, G. K. Chesterton contests the growing intolerance for religious thinking and theological debate.

Wells, among others - who hold divided views on art, literature, and politics but universally dismiss orthodox opinions on God and the cosmos.

Shakespeare and the Catholic Faith is not only a biography of William Shakespeare, but more importantly, it’s about William Shakespeare’s faith and how his faith is reflected, not only in his poems and plays but in all the mysterious parts of his life that nobody could make sense of until now..

God has more for us than what we are experiencing. We have all limited God in our lives at some point in one way or another. Fear of success, fear of persecution and imaginations are all ways that we limit God. We often see ourselves in a certain way but we have to change that image if we want to experience the abundant life that God has for us. To be able to see big things happen like healing, prosperity in finances, and restoration of marriages, you have to let the Word of God paint a picture on the inside of you.
