"Father Damien - Apostle to the Lepers" | Glynn MacNiven-Johnston | $4.50 (booklet) | "At 23, Damien de Veuster left everything to work among the lepers of Hawaii. He died there of leprosy at only 45. He was a Mother Teresa of his time, often isolated, and was practically a household name when he died in 1889. Social reformer, courageous, resourceful, obstinate, at times unpopular - certainly. Yet Fr. Damien became a leper for the lepers, rejected for the rejected, like Christ himself - rare in a world that wants to eliminate suffering and make everything clean, perfect and beautiful. His life, like the Gospel itself, continues to radically challenge and inspire." (from the backcover of the book with permission from Catholic Truth Society, London) 56 pages |

"Forty Martyrs of England and Wales" | James Walsh, SJ | $3.75 (booklet) | "Margaret Clitherow, Edmund Campion, John Southworth, to mention a few, rank among this group of courageous people whose lives were inextricably caught up in the religious persecution in England and Wales during the 1500s and 1600s. This enlarged edition of an ever popular booklet will continue to amaze and inspire generations to come. They were all canonised by Paul Vl in 1970."

"Francis of Assisi - The Man Who Found Perfect Joy" | Michael de la Bedoyere | Out of Print | "Yes, he wore sandals and preached to birds, but these pages take you beyond the happy-go-lucky nature-lover of popular myth to the real Saint Francis of Assisi, model of Christian courage and heroic love for God. Here is the exhilarating truth about Francis, the man who, precisely because of his great love for God, strove mightily to overcome his own sinful nature. Thousands have heard of the time that Francis embraced the leper; few know that as he did it, he felt fear and revulsion, but, for the love of God, chose to ignore his feelings and answer the higher call of love."
