Cardinal Mindszenty
“Readable, stirring, and significant”—George N. Shuster, Saturday Review “To read this human story of a strong but simple man—Cardinal Mindszenty—is to be inspired to love better your God, your country and your fellowman, for it is a stirring story of faith and charity, of tolerance, loyalty and friendship.”—Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York József Cardinal Mindszenty (1892-1975) was the Prince Primate, Archbishop of Esztergom, cardinal, and leader of the Catholic Church in Hungary (1945-1973) who was imprisoned by the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party during World War II and after the war, being a strong opponent of communism and the communist persecution in his country, was tortured and given a life sentence in a 1949 show trial that generated worldwide condemnation. Rather than a carefully written account of Cardinal Mindszenty’s career, here is an account of what the Cardinal heard and saw during the events which led up to the most sensational trial in Hungarian history...

Catholic Literary Giants
In Catholic Literary Giants, Joseph Pearce takes the reader on a dazzling tour of the creative landscape of Catholic prose and poetry. Covering the vast and impressive terrain from Dante to Tolkien, from Shakespeare to Waugh, this book is an immersion into the spiritual depths of the Catholic literary tradition with one of today's premier literary biographers as our guide. Focusing especially on the literary revival of the twentieth century, Pearce explores well-known authors such as G.K. Chesterton, Graham Greene and J.R.R. Tolkien, while introducing lesser-known writers Roy Campbell, Maurice Baring, Owen Barfield and others. He even includes the new saint, Pope John Paul II, who wrote many literary and poetic pieces, among them the story that was made into a feature film, The Jeweler's Shop.
The Shadow of His Wings
We had to do it. We had to reprint this book. Rarely has a book had such an impact on so many of us here at Ignatius Press. It is one of the most powerful and moving books we have come across. If you can only buy one book this season, this must be the one. Here is the astonishing true story of the harrowing experiences of a young German seminarian drafted into Hitler's dreaded SS at the onset of World War II. Without betraying his Christian ideals, against all odds, and in the face of Evil, Gereon Goldmann was able to complete his priestly training, be ordained, and secretly minister to German Catholic soldiers and innocent civilian victims caught up in the horrors of war. How it all came to pass will astound you. Father Goldmann tells of his own incredible experiences of the trials of war, his many escapes from almost certain death, and the diabolical persecution that he and his fellow Catholic soldiers encountered on account of their faith. What emerges is an extraordinary witness to the workings of Divine Providence and the undying power of love, prayer, faith, and sacrifice. Illustrated
Redeeming Our Sacred Story
