| Find restoration from the ruins of sexual compromise. Pastor Jack Hayford brings into focus why sex sins are worse than others-not because they are harder for God to forgive, but because they are more damaging at personal, and interpersonal levels, hurting others as well as hindering one's own growth-as a person and as a follower of Christ. With straightforward yet compassionate insight, Pastor Hayford speaks to the hearts and souls of those who have indulged in or been wounded by sexual immorality, as well as to those seeking to minister wholeness and recovery to others.In 'Fatal Attractions,' Pastor Hayford provides the real-world tools of biblical wisdom and practical application necessary to bring hope, healing and restoration from sexual violation to any sincere person seeking God's will for his or her life. |

| This is a unique collection of ten of Chesterton's famous Father Brown stories which puts special emphasis on the role that Brown's Catholic faith played in helping him solve the murder mysteries. As Dorothy Sayers once wrote, Chesterton was "the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story ... to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgment." This paperback Father Brown edition includes generous footnotes (not available in other editions) which help to clarify the literary and historical allusions made by Father Brown. It is based on the texts of the original editions by Chesterton for assurance of complete authenticity, and is set in easily readable type. These are excellent short detective yarns in the classic British tradition of Sherlock Holmes - puzzling concoctions of mysterious crimes, dubious suspects and ambiguous clues. They are among the very best of the Father Brown stories. "There have been many collections of Father Brown stories, but none like this one. It is a superb collection." -Martin Gardner , Editor, The Annotated Innocence of Father Brown "This collection could not be more timely, both for Chesterton and for Catholicism. One cannot properly appreciate Chesterton unless one at least understands the Catholic Church and, I would venture to say, one will not properly understand the Church unless one appreciates G.K. Chesterton." -Michael Coren , Author, Gilbert: The Man Who Was G.K. Chesterton "Golden nuggets of Chesterton paradox, his particular contribution to the detective story, which made use of his uncanny ability to provide answers to puzzles that are both startling and yet satisfying." -Alzina Stone Dale |

| Michael O'Brien presents a thrilling apocalyptic novel about the condition of the Roman Catholic Church at the end of time. It explores the state of the modern world, and the strengths and weaknesses of the contemporary religious scene, by taking his central character, Father Elijah Schefer, a Carmelite priest, on a secret mission for the Vatican which embroils him in a series of crises and subterfuges affecting the ultimate destiny of the Church. Father Elijah is a convert from Judaism, a survivor of the Holocaust, a man once powerful in Israel. For twenty years he has been "buried in the dark night of Carmel" on the mountain of the prophet Elijah. The Pope and the Cardinal Secretary of State call him out of obscurity and give him a task of the highest sensitivity: to penetrate into the inner circles of a man whom they believe may be the Antichrist. Their purpose: to call the Man of Sin to repentance, and thus to postpone the great tribulation long enough to preach the Gospel to the whole world. In this richly textured tale, Father Elijah crosses Europe and the Middle East, moves through the echelons of world power, meets saints and sinners, presidents, judges, mystics, embattled Catholic journalists, faithful priests and a conspiracy of traitors within the very House of God. This is an apocalypse in the old literary sense, but one that was written in the light of Christian revelation. "I've read thousands of books, and this is one of the great ones. I hope tens of thousands read it, and are shaken as I have been. It's a novel that grips one like a thriller -- indeed it is a thriller, but also something far deeper. There are love and friendship, interwoven with drama, but what it is essentially is faith, faith in the Christ." " Sheldon Vanauken, Author, A Severe Mercy " Father Elijah is that rare thing, a great novel which is also a testimony to orthodox Catholicism. But it is more even than this. Basing himself squarely on Scripture and human experience, O'Brien has produced a prophetic work and a manual of spiritual warfare. This compelling masterpiece will stretch your imagination in the right direction. Read it and pray." " Stratford Caldecott, Centre for Faith and Culture, Oxford "I guarantee you that once you take up this book you will not put it down until the end of the world. Here is a meaty page-turner with the pace of a thriller, beautifully written, and that something more that turns entertainment into literature." " Ralph McInerny , Author, Fr. Dowling Mysteries "- offers up a tale that is satirical, sly, and fast-paced." "Booklist "A joy to read. Smoothly crafted, the characters came to life for me. It is a classic story, told in an inspired, inspirational way - wonderfully uplifting." " Larry Bond, Author, Red Phoenix Michael O'Brien is the editor of Nazareth Journal, a Catholic family magazine, and the author of |
