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.

The Star of Bethlehem
by Fr Douglas McGonagle
The imagery of the Christmas story traditionally shows a giant star hovering above the stable in Bethlehem like a pin in a map, guiding the wisemen to pay homage to the infant Christ. The star has been a source of fascination to many: was it simply a bright light in the sky? A planet or comet? How did it lead the Magi to a tiny village in Judea?
Before he became a priest, Fr Douglas McGonagle was a professor of astrophysics, and he always wondered what type of astral phenomenon was described in the Gospel of Matthew, where the story of the star and the magi is found. Using his knowledge of the stars and the Gospels as a starting point, he follows a trail of clues through the history and politics of first-century Judea, the principles of ancient astronomy, and even the coinage that circulate in the Roman Empire at the time, to give a fascinating account of what the magi saw when they looked up at the night sky and discerned that the King of the Jews had been born.

Artificial Intelligence
by Fr Andrew Pinsent, Sean Biggins
Anyone online comes into contact with Artificial Intelligence, or AI. It determines search engine results, curates what you see on social media, and guides how you click through websites. Recent refinements in AI mean that it can compose text and produce images faster, sometimes better, than humans. Chatbots are used for customer service and online diagnostic tools, and increasingly as social surrogates. The better AI mimics human activity, the more questions it raises: Is AI smarter than humans? Could it ever become human? Could it replace us? What do the advances in Artificial Intelligence mean for society, the Church, and the world?

After Elisabeth’s untimely death from cancer, Felix finally converted to the Faith by reading and cataloguing her writings. This book offers meditations on select passages from Elisabeth’s letters and journals to share her example of profound and patient love.

Overcoming Distraction in Prayer
by Fr Ed Broom
Prayer can be a struggle.

Fr Ed Broom is here to help Catholics learn to pray. In this book, he teaches us to recognise the causes of distraction in our lives and gives simple, practical advice on how to overcome them to speak to God with our whole heart and mind.

Living Your Vocation (Even If You Don’t Know What It Is Yet)
by Fr Nicholas Crowe, OP
St John Henry Newman famously wrote that God endowed us with “some definite purpose”: an individual vocation or sacred mission. This sounds like great news until the saint adds that we might never know what this mission is, at least not in this life. How on earth can you do something, and do it well, if you don’t even know what it is? Fr Nicholas Crowe, OP is on hand to rescue us from confusion and despair. He explains how everyone (including you!) can live a life that is holy and pleasing to God, even if you don’t know what God wants you to do, how to do it, or what’s going on at all.
