New Release: Anthony Esolen on God's Plan for you

"Reflections on the Christian Life is written by today's best Catholic writer in the English speaking world — and this is his best book yet!" Fr. C.J. McCloskey III In Sophia Institute Press's newest release, acclaimed Catholic author Anthony Esolen explains how the story of your life has already been written — and can be discovered — by considering the life and person of Jesus. Only in God does the world possess meaning, Esolen explains, and only in relation to God are our lives genuine stories. You may have read Dr. Esolen’s articles on Crisis Magazine or The Catholic Thing, or perhaps inMagnificat or Catholic World Report.  He is widely recognized as one of today’s best Catholic writers and thinkers. In Reflections on the Christian Life, Dr. Esolen offers a brilliant reflection — in ways that only he can — upon what it means for any of us, and for all of us together, to dwell in a world of stories. And he shows how we can take events in the life of Christ as the touchstone for all that happens to us on our journey from time to eternity. Indeed, this book will finally awaken in you the unshakable confidence that despite even the tragic stories of this life, the good things you’ve known and loved are not gone forever: all that is lost will be found; all will be restored; all will be perfected. Truly, there will be “a new heaven and a new earth” (Rev 21:1). Like the star that led the Magi to Jesus, the wisdom in these pages will lead you to Christ. It will instill in you hope that increases every step of your way.   "In these pages, St. Augustine's 'beauty ever ancient, ever new' is presented with a simple elegance worthy of the Gospel's eternal newness."

Don't Miss these Recent Releases   Rarely does a book come along that so succinctly explains the decline of modern culture, articulates a defense of the Church's teachings, and offers a hope-filled path for building a civilization grounded in Catholic truth. In these pages, Dr. Ryan Topping does all three, pulling back the curtain on the false philosophies of the secularists and showing that in the West today the most formidable threat to freedom is not failing economies or Islam, but secularism. In these pages written over half a century ago, Nicolas Corte gives you incontrovertible proof that Satan exists, that he and his legions of devils assault you daily, and that by means of relentless attacks — overwhelming and subtle — they intend to corrupt you, damn you, and drag you into Hell along with those you love and all the rest of mankind. Countless Christians—including scores of saints—have suffered profound, pervasive sorrow that modern psychiatrists call “depression.” Then, as now, great faith and even fervent spiritual practices have generally failed to ease this wearying desolation of soul.  In these pages, Catholic psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty reviews the effective ways that have recently been devised to deal with this grave and sometimes deadly affliction — ways that are not only consistent with the teachings of the Church, but even rooted in many of those teachings.
