M. N. L. Couve de Murville, Archbishop of Birmingham |

"Marcel Callo, a young apprentice printer from Rennes was actively involved in the Young Christian Worker's movement in France. When French workers were forcibly sent to work in Germany for theThird Reich, Marcel was among them.

"Maria Goretti - Teenage Martyr" |
Glynn MacNiven-Johnston |
$4.50 (booklet) |
"In 1902 in an Italian village a young girl, Maria Goretti, was murdered during a sexual attack. Her killer, Allessandro Serenelli, himself a teenager, was a close neighbour well known to her and her family. He had been threatening her for some time. What does it mean, how can it help, to say that she is a virgin and martyr? This is an often misunderstood and sentimentalised story. When many parents and teenagers strive for a balanced view of sexuality, of personal integerity, of Christian family life, and foregiveness to those who do irreparable harm, Maria's story speaks powerfully and authentically. It echoes John Paul's cry to today's youth - 'Do not be afraid to be saints!'" (from the backcover of the book with permission from Catholic Truth Society, London) 31 pages; published 1997 |

"Marriage, a Path to Sanctity" |
Javier Abad and Eugenio Fenoy |
$13.95 (paperback) |
"What is chastity in marriage? What is the notion of Responsible Parenthood? How is the mastery of the sexual drive of spouses to be understood? Is the number of children a decision that parents themselves should make? Up to what point is one obliged to accede to the request of the other? What circumstances justify refusing the marriage debt? Quoting copiously from the text of the Magisterium, the authors, one of whom is a doctor with many years of pedagogical and scientific experience, pursues answers to these controversial questions and eventually guides the reader to a proper hierarchy of values. Marriage should be seen as a path to sanctity and heroic virtue, a generous exercise of the love God. It is a valid and reasonable exposition of the demands of self-sacrificing love, essential for personal sanctification." (from the backcover of the book) 200 pages |

"The Martyrs of Uganda" |
Joanna Bogle |
$4.50 (booklet) |
"In 1964 Pope Paul Vl canonised 22 young men from Uganda.In the 1880s, Charles Lwanga and his companions had met their brutal deaths, burnt and speared to death, at the hands of Mwanga, head of the Bugandan state. Their only offence was to practice the Christian faith and refuse to take part in the homosexual activities of the court of Mwanga. The witness of chastity and faith given by these young Christians, some only just baptised, is truly extraordinary - a light in the darkness. 'Africa is a land of the Gospel. Africa is the new homeland of Christ. The unwavering fidelity of these young Christians of Africa is clear evidence of this' Paul Vl."
