A Mother's Rule of Life: How to Bring Order to Your Home and Peace to Your Soul
Holly Pierlot

Sophia Institute Press, 2004

This book saved my sanity!
I LOVE this book. The way she describes herself in the beginning as being a burned out, over worked, homeschooling mom, was me in a nutshell. At first I was very sceptical about whether or not taking the advice of this book would actually help me. I read the book ...
  
  











  



  
Finding God's Will for You
St. Francis de Sales

Sophia Institute Press, 1998

Great spiritual and psychological insight
I love reading this saint's works because of his practical and insightful writings. He seems to be able to shine a light on psychological motivations, rationalizations and defenses, and to carefully examine them in the rays of truth. Sometimes it feels like he's ...
  
  











  



  
The Temperament God Gave You: The Classic Key to Knowing Yourself, Getting Along with Others, and Growing ...
Art Bennett, Laraine Bennett

Sophia Institute Press, 2005

Is there anything better than 5 stars?
If there is, this would be my #1 highest pick. Truly, this book will help you out so much! It helps you understand why people do what they do, how to deal with each temperament, and motivating every type of person(teachers-this is SOOOO the book for you!) I can't ...
  
  











  



  
Aquinas's Shorter Summa: Saint Thomas's Own Concise Version of His Summa Theologica
Aquinas, Saint Thomas

Sophia Institute Press, 2001

Understanding Aquinas clarifies other historical issues
I need not restate the lenghty and obvious praises of previous reviewers, they did an excellent job of summing up the work on the intellectual level. I did however find in this work answers to many of the questions so many people ask regarding judicial, political ...
  
  











  



  
Memorize the Faith! (and Most Anything Else): Using the Methods of the Great Catholic Medieval Memory Masters
Kevin Vost

Sophia Institute Press, 2006

Outstanding!!
This book is quite possibly one of the MOST important I have ever read. The book has literally helped change my life in the two areas of intellectual endeavor most important to me: my faith and music. I am a working jazz musician (no one important that you would ...
  
  











  



  
Angel in the Waters
Regina Doman

Sophia Institute Press, 2004

amazing
This book showed up on my reccomended list a couple of months ago. Hmmm, I thought--I'll chance it. Since then I've given copies to: --a 3 year old preparing for baptism --a friend in the middle of potentially bad news about her pregnancy --the teen mother of a ...
  
  











  



  
Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know
Diane Moczar

Sophia Institute Press, 2006

Excellent brief Catholic history book!
As a history-lover and a Catholic, I am always cautious when purchasing history books. Will it be biased, especailly against the Church? Does the author have an agenda, especially a heterodox one? If Catholic, will it include an accurate spiritual perspective? And ...
  
  











  



  
A Biblical Defense of Catholicism
Dave Armstrong

Sophia Institute Press, 2003

So well-done I lent it out to a cousin... and haven't gotten it back.
Of all the recent books on Catholic apologetics, this is probably the best to begin with if you're a cradle Catholic (I'd recommend David Currie's "Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic" for Protestant Christians). The reasoning is straight-forward, comprehensive, ...
  
  











  



  
The Catholic Verses: 95 Bible Passages That Confound Protestants
Dave Armstrong

Sophia Institute Press, 2004

Illuminating but with a tarnished purpose.
`The Catholic Verses' is a rather splendid example of the new genre of Catholic apologetics. For too long, Protestants have claimed spiritual possession of Sacred Scripture, usurping the name `Bible-based' and misquoting a handful of sporadic verses in an attempt to ...
  
  











  



  
The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls, Who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a ...
Lawrence G. Lovasik

Sophia Institute Press, 1999

A Good Blueprint for Life
"The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls Who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time" by Rev. Lawrence Lovasik is an abridged edition of "Kindness" which was originally published in 1962. Its message is as important today as it was then, ...
  
  











  



  
The First Christians: The Acts of the Apostles for Children
Marigold Hunt

Sophia Institute Press, 2004

Great for kids
What a great book. My kids love this book and so do I. When reading aloud, you can answer any questions they have but it brings the acts of the Apostles alive for them. I highly recommend this book.
  
  











  



  
Life of Our Lord for Children, A
Marigold Hunt

Sophia Institute Press, 2003

A child's introduction to the Gospels
I was so pleased to find this book. Though written in 1939, the language is clear and straight-forward and accessible. On the back is a note from the author - I assume it was originally a preface. Hunt writes, "....The reason the same story takes so much longer to ...
  
  











  



  
I Believe in Love: A Personal Retreat Based on the Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux
Jean Du Coeur De Jesus D' Elbee

Sophia Institute Press, 2001

Wonderful Meditations on Therese's Wisdom
"I Believe in Love" is a wonderful introduction to the wisdom of Therese of Lisieux. Reading it made me more fully appreciate her autobiography "Story of a Soul." Each chapter of the book comprises different topics that she addressed in her writings, and serves well ...
  
  











  



  
The Year & Our Children: Catholic Family Celebrations for Every Season
Mary Reed Newland

Sophia Institute Press, 2007

Great Resource for Catholic families
I have enjoyed adding this newly released edition of Mary Reed Newland's work to my family library. The book walks readers through the liturgical calendar, suggesting activities, projects, devotional practices, and prayers to accompany Catholic families as they ...
  
  











  



  
Fit for Eternal Life
Kevin Vost

Sophia Institute Press, 2007

Pump Iron & Ions
Though I love reading and books dearly, few books capture a spirit or goal in my own life as closely as this book does. For years now I have been struggling to achieve an inner and outer balance in my life - balance between mind, body and spirit. In attempting to do ...
