Catherine of
the Erie Deeply imbued with the spirit and language of this obscure period of history, Catherine of the Erie is a historical novel which transports the reader from the harrowing forests of the eastern woodlands to the spiritually rich heyday of New France where medicine men and manitous were giving way in the hearts of the native people to the gentle yoke of “He Who Has Made All” and his Son, Jesus Christ. From these hearty, long-suffering people would emerge a unique expression of Christian devotion which inspires cradle Catholics and converts alike to this day. More... |

I Am A
Christian Taken together, these works form a glorious record of early Christian zeal and fortitude in the face of aggressive state persecution. When reading them, one notices a common refrain: when questioned, the accused would cry out: “I am a Christian,” which was the equivalent of saying, “I am guilty as charged.” In an era when such an admission carried a death sentence, these authentic testimonies provide a convincing answer to modern skeptics who will find them as baffling as did the ancient Roman emperors, proconsuls and magistrates of nearly two millennia ago.

Masaru by Michael T. Cibenko "In a manner reminiscent of Clavell’s Shogun, Masaru transports the reader to medieval Japan with realism that delights the senses, offering up a blend of history, philosophy and adventure. Based on events little known to those in the West, Masaru artfully presents the faith with a compelling synthesis of action and dialog. Calling upon his own heritage and experiences living in Japan, the author brings to life with vivid textures the characters and settings of the tale. Timeless truths of the faith are presented with fidelity, yet in a manner that is both refreshing and provocative. This is a must-read for anyone who appreciates Japanese culture, lovers of history and philosophy, or those who simply enjoy an exceptionally well-told story." —Jeffrey
Bond, PhD, The University of Chicago
When the small

Centurion’s
Daughter by Justin Swanton “I found Aemilia a most appealing character and the way of telling her story to be refreshingly subtle. In addition, the story seems carefully researched and the author brought this time period alive....I suppose one could call this a YA book but it held my interest the entire time, as any well-written book would regardless of intended age group. Highly recommended.” —Happy Catholic Blog
“This was not a book dashed off and rushed to publication but something that had been lovingly labored over....First of all, let me say, I loved it....I strongly recommend this book and would say it is appropriate for young ladies and gentleman 15 years and older and their parents of course. This would be a great Christmas gift, Confirmation gift for your Confirmandi or addition to a High School Curriculum.” —Latin Mass Network
Written and illustrated by master storyteller Justin Swanton, Centurion’s Daughter is a thoughtful and compelling journey to a little-known period of history when an empire fell and the foundations of Christendom were laid. More... |

Angels
in Iron by Nicholas C. Prata “Prata brings this fascinating tale to life by giving the characters real personalities. They are not mere pawns used to further the plot of the story. Interesting subplots abound....The overwhelming theme is courage, honor, and the Catholic faith.” —Favorite Resources for
Catholic Homeschoolers
“This is a book that belongs on the bookshelf of every Catholic man, should be read by every Catholic boy, and stocked by every Catholic school library.” —Latin Mass
Magazine
A stunningly visual and gripping historical novel set on the island of Malta in 1565. La Valette, Grand Master of the Knights of St. John (Hospitallers), heroically defends "The Gates of Christendom" against the Turkish armies of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. More... |

Belisarius Book I: The First Shall Be Last by Paolo A. Belzoni "Catholic author Paolo Belzoni specializes in Byzantine history, and the atmosphere throughout Belisarius, both domestic and abroad, is painted with historical authenticity and great research. Journey with Belisarius in this faith enriching novel as he distinguishes himself amongst his peers and rises to be one of the greatest and most saintly generals in Western history." —Kolbe Academy Little Home
Journal
"Courageous and brilliant in battle, hardworking and devout in everyday life, young Belisarius comes across as a man whose virtues, inspired by a firm Christian faith, form the background of a novel that will keep the most reluctant of readers turning pages." —Catholic Men's Quarterly
Belisarius is a historical novel filled with action and intrigue. Replete with historical and religious detail drawn from ancient historians, the novel is a fascinating introduction to the Justinianic period—the last gasp of the Roman Empire and the infancy of Christendom in both the East and West.

Crown
of the World Book I: Knight of the Temple by Nathan Sadasivan "Sadasivan's
book does an admirable job of creating a believable
setting and plot, with sequences that take us from the
Nile Delta in Egypt to the streets of Antioch to the
Temple Mount of Jerusalem itself....Knight of the
Temple is a really excellent work, fraught with
tension."
—Phillip Campbell in Saint
Austin's Review
"Masterful swordplay, powerfully
intense battles, deceit and treachery, and the emergence
of the saintly Baldwin IV, young Mr. Sadasvian has weaved a vivid and enthralling tale of a forgotten Catholic kingdom." —Scott Jones, Our Lady of Victory
Homeschool
Here is the tale of Godfrey de Montferrat, a young Templar knight who swore an oath to defend the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It is also the tale of that kingdom, which men called Outremer—The Land Beyond the Sea. More... |

Three
Years Behind the Guns The True Chronicles of a "Diddy-Box" by John B. Tisdale "An intimate record of life aboard an American man-of-war...written with such detail, vivacity, and the knack for vivid expression that it keeps one turning pages until the last one is reached. This Jackie has keen eyes and quick ears, and can put the things he saw and thought about into particularly vigorous English....This book affords an entertaining and occasionally edifying, confidential account of all that one particular man-'o-war's man thought and felt and did during three years service." —New York
Times Saturday Review of Books (1908)
Originally published in 1908—a decade after the events described—Three Years Behind the Guns is an amusing, gritty look at life aboard a man-o'-war at a time when the United States was on the cusp of becoming a great power. Though a memoir, the author writes with all the youthful exuberence of the age, describing his experiences with good humor and verve, even when they stretch the bounds of credulity. Stories of his adventures at various ports of call are myriad, crowned by his unique perspective on the Battle of Manila Bay as a member of the crew of Olympia's main guns. More... |

Leave
If You Can by Luise Rinser “This amazing and poignant tale of two women in wartime Italy, and of how they were drawn graciously but inexorably, not only to faith, but to costly obedience, will remind readers of the annals of faith all down the centuries.” —Thomas Howard, author of On Being
Catholic
“A very good book to form people in an understanding of a vocation. And there are some powerful lines in it in that regard. People may think that one always is holy and attracted to religion, but that is often enough not the case. One can be called and have an aversion. That’s why I think the book has a lot to teach. In that respect, it is a true story.” —Sister Magdalene of the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary, OCD
Two young women, Angelina and Guilia, run off to join the partisans in Italy during World War II to fight the occupying Germans. When Angelina is injured in battle, she finds herself locked in a spiritual struggle just as daunting as her physical battle against the Nazis. More... |

The
Menagerie of Marsepink by Claudio R. Salvucci "I have been teaching your story The
Menagerie of Marsepink for the past ten years,
at Kolbe Academy Online, and now this year through my
own courses at Teach-to-the-Text. I love it so much,
and I always teach it last. Many of the short stories
that we read the students find depressing. Your book
helps me finish the year on a 'high note.' It always
feels so uplifting!”
—Ellen
Finnigan, Teach to the Text
A bright young zoology professor arrives at a prestigious Long Island college filled with jaded, materialistic scientists. But in a tower high above their heads, the college's angelic heiress devotedly watches over a collection of handmade animals made of a more mysterious stuff than cloth and string. A tribute to the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Menagerie of Marsepink is a moral allegory on the limits of natural science and the supernatural reality of the soul. Now available in paperback, this short story successfully captures the atmosphere and charm which characterize the works of the great 19th century scribe. More... |
