The first Polish Pope, John Paul II, was a thinker and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach toward world politics—and changed the course of history. When he died on April 2, 2005, millions around the world mourned his passing. No other person in recent history has had such a tremendous display of respect and honor. The fact that so many non-Catholics honored this man attests to his effect on the world—and not just within his own religion.

From the rich treasury of Catholic books written by leading Catholic women writers, the editors of St. Anthony Messenger Press have selected words of wisdom to recognize women's unique spirituality and contributions to our world.

A delightful, beautifully illustrated long verse poem, THE PURPLES ARE COMING! enables children age 9 years old and younger to develop a love of reading while gaining a deep appreciation of Catholic faith and virtues. Thrilled at the alarm signaling the arrival of spring: "THE PURPLES ARE COMING!," a humorous band of meadowland animal pals sets off on a most unusual journey not only to the little chapel by the pond to see the purples at the very peak of their bloom, but to a wise old ram, Father Fred, to learn important lessons about prayer, apostleship and the love of God. Maybe prayer is not so complicated after all.
A little boy imagines what it would be like if Jesus came to spend the afternoon with him -- the little boy Jesus, of course, "about the age that I am and about the size of me."

Mere Catholicism explains in easily accessible, non-technical language the fundamental doctrines of Catholicism. It also shows how these doctrines follow naturally from the fundamental doctrines common to orthodox Christians (“mere Christianity”). Catholicism can mystify or even repel other Christians, while its complexities can confuse Catholics themselves. Ian Ker’s stimulating book makes Catholicism come alive as the fullness of Christianity.
