We are proud to have been selected by the Knights of Columbus to play an exclusive role in their monthly Book Club. The Book Club gives you the opportunity to join hundreds of other Catholic book lovers to share your thoughts about the best Catholic literature being published. Best of all, you don't have to be a Knight to participate. The Club is open to everyone!
Join Supreme Knight Carl Anderson each month in reading insightful and faith-filled books and participating in an online discussion about each book. Discussions are held at the end of the month and are led by Mr. Anderson and his guest authors and authorities on the subjects related to the book. One week before a discussion takes place a form will be available on the Supreme Knight's Book Club page for you to submit your questions. Transcripts of previous discussions can also be found on the Book Club page. Click here to see previous Knights Book Club selections. No Purchase Necessary to participate in the monthly online discussion.

Knights of Columbus Book Club subscription plan members automatically receive each month's book selection at a savings of 20% off the retail price! You will save over $16 in the first four months alone! The books will be shipped to arrive by the first week of each month so that you will have time to read and prepare for the discussion.

 Introduction to the Devout Life
Order Now
$12.95
Club Members pay $10.36
Since its first publication in 1609 this book has never gone out of print. It has always occupied a privileged position in the Church: no guide ever written provides so complete, so balanced and so practical an approach to the spiritual life. Written for the layman surrounded by worldliness, this is a masterpiece of mystical and devotional literature, by a great and much loved Doctor of the Church. This book does what many similar books fail to do, teach the reader to grow in holiness, step by simple step.

 The Faith We Profess - A Catholic Guide to the Apostles' Creed
Order Now
$11.95
Club Members pay $9.56
Noted Washington, D.C. pastor and teacher Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi offers a simple introduction to Catholicism blending sound Catholic teaching with scripture, the wisdom of the saints, literature, and personal anecdotes to offer a synopsis of the faith suitable for lifelong Catholics and inquirers alike. Vaghi deftly explains how this oldest of the Church's creeds is not only a summary of Catholic beliefs, but an invitation to entrust oneself to God. Twelve chapters corresponding to the twelve articles of the Creed offer a fast-paced tour of the Catholic faith, with particular attention to sometimes neglected aspects distinctive to Catholicism. Questions for reflection and prayers are included for group and/or devotional use.
 The Gift of Black Folk
Order Now
$14.95
Club Members pay $11.96
Commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, this work represents one of the first insider’s views of the black experience in America. In it, DuBois detailed the role of blacks in the early exploration of America; the roles they played in cultivating tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, and peanuts; and the courage they displayed in fighting wars. He documented their creative genius in music, painting, sculpture, literature, theatre, and in virtually every aspect of American culture. He discussed the unique contribution of black women in caring for and nurturing white children as well as their own. He proposed the idea that freedom for black women could lead to freedom for all women.

 You Will be my Witnesses
Order Now
$17.95
Club Members pay $14.36
In the aftermath of World War I, Polish independence was revived after decades of struggle. As a modern sea harbor was built and schools were founded, both spiritual and material culture flourished. Then in 1939, Adolf Hitler attacked Poland, signaling the start of World War II. Most people know that the Polish Jews were quickly gathered for the purpose of extermination, but few are aware that a similar fate awaited the Polish clergy. Among these clergy was Kazimierz Majdansk, who later would become an Archbishop of Poland.
You Shall Be My Witnesses is intended as a witness to the author's own prison experiences during the years of World War II. But this book does more than detail Hitler's war against the faithful. You Shall Be My Witnesses also asks us to look forward to see where civilization is headed. Most important, it prompts us to choose not the civilization of death, but the blessing of the God of life.

 Called to Love - Approaching John Paul II's Theology of the Body
Order Now
$23.95
Club Members pay $19.16
Carl Anderson and Fr. Jose Granados discuss the philosophical and religious significance of “the theology of the body” in language at once poetic and profound. As they explain, the body speaks of God, it reveals His goodness, and it also speaks of man and women and their vocation to love. Called to Love brings to life the tremendous gift John Paul II bestowed on humanity and gives readers a new understanding of the Christian way of love and how to embrace it fully in their lives. |
