The
Life of Saint Ambrose
A
Translation of the Vita Sancti
Ambrosii by Paulinus of Milan
translated by Sr. Mary Simplicia Kaniecka
Ambrose
of Milan is one of the towering figures of
the late 4th century AD: a fierce opponent
of heretics, admonisher of emperors,
voluminous writer, worker of miracles, and
the spiritual father of other great
saints.
This biography of Ambrose was written by one
of the deacons who served under him:
Paulinus of Milan. Paulinus was encouraged
in this biographical effort by none other
than Saint Augustine of Hippo, Ambrose's
most famous disciple. More...

I
Am A Christian
Authentic
Accounts of Christian
Martyrdom and Persecution from
the Ancient Sources
compiled and edited by
Anthony P. Schiavo, Jr.
Christians of today face questions that
would have seemed absurd to our ancestors.
Did Jesus exist? Isn't the New Testament
just a fairy tale? Aren't the accounts of
the early martyrs just fables? These
accusations gain traction because the
average person today has practically no
knowledge of the Church's ancient past. I
Am A Christian: Authentic Accounts of
Christian Martyrdom and Persecution from
the Ancient Sources aims to remedy
this deficiency by providing a collection of
the earliest and most trustworthy
eye-witness accounts from Roman antiquity. More...

Three
Years behind the Guns
by John B. Tisdale
Originally written in 1908, Three Years
Behind the Guns is an amusing, gritty
look at life aboard the flagship Olympia
at a time when the United States was on the
cusp of becoming a great power. Though a
memoir, the author writes with all the
youthful exuberance of the age and finds
himself, much to his surprise, with a
front-row seat to the naval battle at Manila
Bay during the Spanish-American War. More...

The
Daughters of Pola
by John Mason Neale
Daughter of a noble Roman family, Agnella
had heard tell of the foul practices of the
Christians. What good Roman wouldn’t hate
such a vile sect? When Diocletian declared
that all must sacrifice to the immortal gods
or be punished, Agnella’s father, Marcus
Acilius Dolabella, præfect of Histria, was
quick to put the emperor’s command into
effect, little suspecting that his own
daughter's actions would provide seed for
the burgeoning Christian Church. More...

Angels
in Iron
by Nicholas C. Prata
"In addition to being
an exciting action/adventure yarn and
quite a page-turner, Angels in
Iron is valuable as a miniature
history lesson as well....This is a book
that belongs on the bookshelf of every
Catholic man, should be read by every
Catholic boy (11 or older, I would say),
and stocked by every Catholic school
library."
