Surviving Depression: A Catholic Approach 5 reviews
Kathryn James Hermes
Pauline Books & Media, 2003
Excellent "how-to" for dealing with depression!
This is an excellent book for those who consider themselves to have a strong faith (or used to) but are currently struggling with depression. One thing she recommends is to find a spiritual guide, someone to help discern between the depression and Sin, as well as to help relearning to trust God and believe in God's faithfulness. And yes she gives advice on how to identify such a person. You ...

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati: An Ordinary Christian5 reviews
Maria Di Lorenzo
Pauline Books & Media, 2004
Best biography on Bl. Pier Giorgio in English
If you are interested in a book about Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, this is the one to get - or at least to start with. The other two books available in the U.S. are "Man of the Beatitudes" and "His Last Days - My Brother Pier Giorgio", both written by Pier Giorgio's sister Luciana. If you're really interested in getting to know Pier Giorgio I recommend these books as well, but they are not as ...

Secrets of a Soul: Padre Pio's Letters to His Spiritual Director4 reviews
Elvira G. DiFabio
Pauline Books & Media, 2003
Great Book for your Journey in Faith!
This book is a wonderful read if you too struggle with leading a good Christian Life. This book gives you such a look into Padre Pio's deepest feelings, it opens a window for us to see that no one is alone in their struggles and many of the things Padre Pio spoke of in his letters, I have felt at one time. So this book is a wonderful read and just read a letter a day to see that there is hope in ...

Testimony of Hope: The Spiritual Exercises of Pope John Paul II2 reviews
Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan
Pauline Books & Media, 2000
The most inspiring book for the new year
Every year, Pope John Paul II selects a preacher for a course of Spiritual Exercises for himself and the Vatican's Roman Curia. For the Jubilee 2000, he chose Vietnamese Archbishop Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan. I originally read Archbishop Thuan's exercises by way of Zenit - the News of Rome. As compelling as those accounts were, the book is even better. Archbishop Van Thuan's experiences, ...

Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology Of The Body7 reviews
John Paul II
Pauline Books & Media, 2006
Outstanding!
I had an earlier edition of Theology of the Body and decided to replace it with this new translation with footnotes and an index. I am very glad I did.
This book, and the many beautiful books and lectures that sprang from it by the likes of Dr. Janet Smith and Chris West, has changed my life and my marriage for the better.
I LOVE the Church's teachings on marriage and the family. This book ...

The Splendor of Truth: Encyclical Letter of John Paul II3 reviews
Pope John Paul II
Pauline Books & Media, 1993
Comments from a Graduate Student in Literature..
The combination of the 'Catechism' and The Spendor of Truth are, perhaps, the most necessary tools for any and all Catholic thinkers/scholars; as well as anyone interested in discovering the authentic teachings of the Church - minus the broad-stroked misinformation of the mass media.

The Sanctifier2 reviews
Luis M. Martinez
Pauline Books & Media, 2003
Amazing Missing Link!
In the turbulent wake of Vatican II, many of us never learned--or learned badly the ESSENTIAL TRUTHS of our faith. The birth of the Charismatic movement,while authentically nourishing and giving roots to many; confused others. In this timeless masterpiece, Luis M. Martinez answers questions I had forgotten how to ask. It is a refreshing, pivotal link in coming home to the Truth we missed in ...

Bernadette Speaks: A Life of St. Bernadette Soubirous in Her Own Words 2 reviews
Rene Laurentin
Pauline Books & Media, 1999
A Life of Contradictions
This is book is written in the format of a novel, but with Bernadette's actual words. This was a very satisfying hagiography, because it gave, I feel, a realistic portrait of Bernadette. Often, saints' biographies tend to make the saint out as more angelic than human.The author, for the most part, avoids this annoying habit.There are also many interesting photos, which add to the feeling of the ...

The Road of Hope: A Gospel from Prison1 review
Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan
Pauline Books & Media, 2001
One of the most gripping books about prison life I've read!
I could not put this gripping, haunting, and unforgettable book down! Nguyen suffered a tragedy that no human being should have to undergo. The pain, the emotional trauma, the physical attacks that Nguyen endured will burn in your memory for a long time to come.

Five Loaves & Two Fish2 reviews
Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan
Pauline Books & Media, 2003
Profound and simple meditations
This is a treasure of a book. The prayers and meditations contained in it are jewels polished by long hours of suffering. Archbishop Van Thuan spent 13 years in prison in Vietnam, and 9 of those years in solitary confinement. His great love for Christ and for his people illuminated the darkness of his suffering and now shine from every word. His heart was crushed in the winepress of sorrow, and ...

Prayers of Hope, Words of Courage1 review
Francis Xavier Van Thuan Nguyen
Pauline Books & Media, 2002
Speaking to and from the heart
Beautifully written conversation with God about the things that matter. Cardinal Thuan's prison experience speaks to the power of God to sustain,to transform and to empower despite our sense of abandonment. He shares his experience of a personal conection with God in a simple and refreshingly non- pious, non-clerical fashion. Written as a series of 90 short reflections, the reader is not ...

The Theology of the Body Human Love in the Divine Plan (Parish Resources)8 reviews
Pope John Paul II
Pauline Books & Media, 1997
The fruit of this work has yet to be discovered
Pope John Paul II has given us one of the best (if not the best) books of modern theology today. This book is a compilation of many weekly addresses the Pope gave in the early 80's. Now compiled into this one work, we can view the absolute genius of the mind of Pope JPII. His insights into humanity, creation, the human person and the body are without equal. In fact, he may be known for this ...

Fides et Ratio / On the Relationship between Faith and Reason3 reviews
Pope John Paul II
Pauline Books & Media, 1998
"Two Wings of Truth"
In Fides et Ratio, Pope John Paul II is addressing Catholic bishops regarding the value and relationship philosophy holds in regards to theology. The purpose of the encyclical letter is to stem certain abusive tendencies among theologians that distort divine revelation and to urge a new interest in philosophy as a means of articulating Christian truth. Divine revelation by its very nature ...
