Becoming the Man God Created You to Be
Fr. Larry Richards
In Be a Man!, Fr. Richards recounts
his struggles to learn true manhood, as well as the inspiring stories
of others he has served in his decades as a priest. He tells men how to
focus on the right goal, how to live as a beloved son of God, of the
need to acknowledge one’s faults and to live according to the Holy
Spirit, to be a man of true love and of wisdom, to appreciate properly
the differences between men and women, to pursue holiness, and to make
a difference in the world.

How Christ Sent Twenty-three Surprised Converts to Replant His Vineyard
Donna Steichen (editor)
The
twenty-three men and women who tell their conversion stories in these
pages were not drawn to the Church by sound evangelization programs,
beautiful buildings and liturgies, or saintly witnesses among the
clergy. On the contrary, many of them were attracted to Catholicism in
spite of a now decades-long stretch of deficient catechesis, mediocre
Masses, and uninspiring leadership.
The Scarlet and the Black
The True Story of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, Hero of the Vatican Underground
J. P. Gallagher
The Scarlet and the Black tells
the astonishing and heroic true story of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, the
man dubbed "The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican" during World War II.
Charity in Truth
Pope Benedict XVI
Benedict XVI has something for everyone in Charity in Truth—from
praising profit to defending the environment, from calling for a role
for government in the economy to insisting on the necessity of moral
transformation and “gratuitousness” in economic life, from the issue of
immigration to the importance of technology.

Alfred Delp
Fr.
Alfred Delp,S.J., was a heroic German Jesuit priest who was imprisoned
and martyred by the Nazis in a Nazi death camp in 1945. At the time of

Resistance movement against Nazism.
