No Greater Love – The Martyrdom of the Ulma Family
Under the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War II, Jews were indiscriminately arrested, imprisoned, and killed. Christians who helped them hide or escape placed themselves in the same peril. Josef and Wiktoria Ulma, who, guided by the parable of the Good Samaritan, which was underlined in red ink in the family Bible, sheltered a Jewish family in their village of Markowa. As a result, in 1944, Josef, Wiktoria, and their seven small children – one not yet born – were murdered by the Nazis. This biography tells the story of the heroic virtue and sacrifice that lead to their beatification.

What is Truth? A Reason to Hope for the Modern World
by Joshua Madden
Modern philosophy has narrowed the concept of reason, leading to radical scepticism of our ability to know reality as it is and causing a climate of nihilism and doubt. To share the joy of the Gospel in today, men and women must rediscover that it is possible to know objective truth about ourselves and the world around us. This foundation, the preambula fidei, is what makes it possible to truly know the living God who has revealed himself in Christ.

St Therese of Lisieux – The Way of Confidence and Love
St Therese of Lisieux lived a quiet, humble, and very short life. Her writings on the “Little Way” – the spiritual maxim to do little things with great love – were published only after her death, but have had a profound influence on the spirituality of the faithful, and led to her being named a Doctor of the Church. In this deeply personal biography, Jennifer Moorcroft paints a vivid and relatable picture of the saint who somehow became smaller and simpler as she grew.

Written by experts in an accessible and clear way, Artificial Intelligence explains the true meaning of AI, while also exploring the subject in a Catholic context. What does AI mean for our understanding of intelligence and humanity? What would it mean for a computer to be ‘intelligent’? Could a computer be more intelligent than a human?
