A Hiker's Guide to Purgatory: A Novel
New from Ignatius Press! "Norton goes where most authors fear to tread: the journey of a soul through the barren deserts, dark forests and daunting mountain ranges of Purgatory. He’s created an adventure story in the tradition of the medieval quest and a meditation on the many obstacles to holiness that may be encountered and, ultimately overcome, in life." — Fiorella Nash, Author. One morning, attorney Dan Geary, seventy-seven years old, finds himself in the middle of a rolling, polychrome landscape. The greens are bold and bright. Birds sing in the distance. Tall grasses surge like a sea before the wind. He has never seen anything quite like it. But somehow—with the doctors and beeping monitors suddenly gone—he knows exactly where he is: the afterlife. What a relief not to be floating on a cloud, playing a harp. Instead, a hiking pack full of gear sits on his back, and he feels the familiar itch to start walking toward the far-off mountains. But he finds there is no trail, no map, no signage, and no one else in sight. As gorgeous as the scenery is, Dan feels in his bones: this is Purgatory. Growing up, he'd imagined Purgatory as a detention center for delinquent children. What a surprise to see its beauty, and to feel so much hope. Yet along the winding way, Dan starts recognizing his tangled, imperfect, often wasted life, and he wonders if he will ever be ready to meet God. With no clue how long his hike will take, he gradually learns—through memories and through encounters with other Heaven-bound hikers—how to desire the good, how to wait, and how to long for love. With confessional honesty and a sense of humor, this book reimagines the purification of the afterlife as a tough journey saturated with faith, hope, and love—and with overwhelming beauty.

The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis Marie De Montfort
Probably the finest book ever written about the power and spiritual efficacy of the Most Holy Rosary. Saint Louis Marie De Montfort, the author of the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, used the rosary to combat the lukewarmness in the faith that was rampant in his own day. With his book, The Secret of the Rosary, this same saint will enflame us with the necessary zeal to be apostles of Our Lady in our own day where the rosary is more sorely needed than at any time in history! From the preface of the Secret of the Rosary: "Drawing upon his own experience as well as upon the experience of others, the author endeavours to bring home to the reader, in a simple and straightforward manner the authentic message of the Rosary; namely, that it is a veritable school of Christian life. He sees it as including essentially the meditation of the mysteries of the life, death and glory of Jesus and Mary, with a view not only to honoring but especially imitating their virtues as held up to our consideration in each mystery. For our Saint, the Rosary was not simply a method of prayer: it was his most effective tool and weapon in his apostolic work. He preached it in season and out of season; established it in every parish where he gave a mission and judged the fruits of the mission by the subsequent perseverance in its recitation. There was no limit to the power of the Rosary and to it he attributed much of his success with sinners. 'Let me but place my rosary around a sinner's neck and he will not escape me.' This book was written three centuries ago, it is true, but it has lost none of its freshness and timeliness. Indeed, today, in the light of the specific requests of Our Lady of Fatima, it will be doubly welcomed by all true clients of Our Lady. We feel confident that it will bring many souls to a better understanding of the Rosary not only as a prayer but especially as a way of spiritual life. 120 pages. Dimensions: 24.5 x 15.5 x 3.8cm.

Catechism of the Catholic Church Revised Second Edition
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is an essential reference for every Catholic and should be readily accessible in every Catholic home. Why? It serves several important functions: (a) It conveys the essential and fundamental content of Catholic faith and morals in a complete and summary way. (b) It is a positive, objective and declarative exposition of Catholic doctrine. (c) It is intended to assist those who have the duty to catechize, namely promoters and teachers of catechesis." Pope St. John Paul II said this about this catechism: "In reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can perceive the wonderful unity of the mystery of God." The Catechism of the Catholic Church is divided into four major parts. They are referred to as the "four pillars" on which the Catechism is built. In his Apostolic Constitution promulgating the Catechism, Pope John Paul II called them the "four movements of a great symphony." They are: 1) the Creed - what the Church believes; 2) the Sacraments - what the Church celebrates; 3) the Commandments - what the Church lives, and; 4) the Our Father - what the Church prays. The Catechism consists of 2,865 paragraphs, each of which is numbered. There is an internal cross-referencing system among the paragraphs which makes it simple to find all the passages in the Catechism which treat a particular subject. In addition, the Catechism provides several indices for ease in locating particular passages. Indices are organized according to themes, Scriptural citations, symbols of the faith, documents of ecumenical councils, documents of other councils and synods, pontifical documents, ecclesiastical documents, canon law, liturgical texts and ecclesiastical authors. The Catechism of the Catholic Church originated with a recommendation made at the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops in 1985. In 1986 Pope John Paul II appointed a Commission of Cardinals and Bishops to develop a compendium of Catholic doctrine. In 1989 the Commission sent the text to all the Bishops of the world for consultation. In 1990 the Commission examined and evaluated over 24,000 amendments suggested by the world's bishops. The final draft is considerably different from the one that was circulated in 1989. In 1991 the Commission prepared the text for the Holy Father's official approval. On June 25, 1992 Pope John Paul II officially approved the definitive version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. On December 8, 1992 Pope John Paul II promulgated the Catechism with an apostolic constitution. This edition was published in 2012. Size: 18 x 12 x 3cm
