Butler's Lives of the Saints
For more than two centuries, "Butler's" has been one of the best known, most widely consulted hagiographies. In its brief and authoritative entries, readers can find a wealth of knowledge on the lives and deeds of the saints, as well as their ecclesiastical and historical importance since canonization.
My Lady of Orange
My Lady of Orange revolves around William the Silent, aka William of Orange, and his involvement in the Dutch Revolt. Set near the end of 16th century, when William of Orange was rebelling against Spanish rule of the Netherlands, the story is told from the perspective of an English mercenary leader, John Newstead, who decides to switch sides and joins the Dutch rebels.
St. Malachy's Prophecy
This is a well researched and historically accurate novel set in Italy at the height of the sixteenth century Renaissance. It revolves around the still disputed prophecies of the Irish St. Malachy who described the final 112 popes to reign until the last one early in the second millennium. (Pope John Paul II is number 110.) It is a riveting tale of two charismatic men who find themselves the unwilling custodians of a saint’s writings, those who seek them at all cost, and how the prophecy may have caused a disastrous papal conclave. It is a story of war, revenge, greed, illicit love and adventure.

The Life and Letters of Saint Francis Xavier
ALTHOUGH several beautiful Lives of St. Francis Xavier exist—some of them in our own language—I do not think that any excuse will be required for the attempt made in the present work to produce a new Life, which may satisfy in some sort the legitimate requirements of our own time. We are accustomed to set a higher value than men of former generations on those indications of personal character, in the case of great men and conspicuous Saints, which are to be found in their own words, in their letters, in anecdotes which set them familiarly before our eyes, and the like. The Catholics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries would take the letter of a Saint, for instance, of St. Teresa or St. Francis Xavier, and cut it to pieces for the sake of making up a signature out of letters from separate words, or forming some holy text in the Saint’s handwriting in the same way.
