In honor of his canonization, this volume draws together Newman’s Marian writings into an anthology of this new saint’s profound writings on our Lady. Some are doctrinal or apologetic, while others are deeply devotional meditations. These two approaches, not only show two sides of Saint John Henry Newman’s character; they will increase your own love and devotion to our Lady. They illuminate the great depths of Marian doctrine from the Church’s treasury with which Newman has so powerfully permeated his own writings and cause us to go to her for aid.

In The Biblical Basis For Purgatory, author and apologist John Salza (Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons) offers the definitive scriptural explanation of this distinctively Catholic doctrine. Building on the teachings of Christ and St. Paul, he shows how the existence of a place of temporal punishment after death is not only a logical extension of what we know about the reality of sin and God's justice, but is also a supreme expression of God's love and mercy. Although Purgatory is a place of mercy, its pains are real, and they are severe.

Each chapter is a short consideration on some aspect of death, divided into three points easily understood by people in every state of life.

Decades as a Christian leader, most notably at the UN as president of the Center for Family and Human Rights, have earned writer Austin Ruse, once a Washington liberal with little faith, his share of defeats and triumphs.

You come away from this groundbreaking book with the sense that Ruse knows the enemy better than the enemy knows himself. Ruse carefully examines how the anti-Christian forces gained power over every elite institution in America.
