The Children of Fatima
by Mary Fabyan Windeatt

$11.00 - 161 pages - Soft Cover 
Tan Books and Publishers

     “What if nothing wonderful happens on the 13th? Aren’t you afraid people will laugh at you then?” asked the parish priest, as he looked closely at 10 year-old Lucia.
      “Oh no, Father!” replied Lucia. “I know something wonderful is going to happen on the 13th. The Lady told us so.” Nine year-old Francisco and 7 year-old Jacinta were equally certain.
      October 13 dawned cold and rainy. Out in the sheep pasture, huddled under dripping umbrellas, was a huge crowd of 70,000 people-cold, muddy, tired.
      Lucia’s mother was beside herself with anxiety. “O Lucia!” she exclaimed. “Are you very sure there is a heavenly lady?” Lucia was sure.
      The three children knelt and began to recite the Rosary. Presently Lucia saw the familiar flash of light. “She’s coming!” she cried.
      “Take a good look, Child!” her anxious mother called out. “Don’t make any mistake!”
      This book tells what happened next. It also tells about the great Miracle of the Sun, as well as about the time Jacinta gave away the children’s secret, the time the children were put into prison, and the time they received Holy Communion from a mysterious Angel.
      In short, here is the beautiful story of the three little children who saw Our Lady in the small village of Fatima.

 

Heroes of God

    True-Life Stories of Catholic Fortitude, Valor, and Holiness

     In every age and every country, valiant men and women have rejected the empty pursuit of worldly comforts and devoted their lives to bringing the transforming truth of Jesus Christ to people who do not know Him.  Here are the courageous deeds of eleven of these holy heroes, told with exhilarating vigor and immediacy by the master Catholic historian Henri Daniel-Rops.
     From pagan Rome and Aztec Mexico to forbidden Tibet, Muslim North Africa, and the farthest reaches of the earth, these intrepid Catholics cheerfully risked rejection, ridicule, imprisonment, and even torture and death in order to proclaim the saving message of Christ.  Among them are:

  • Bl. Ramon Lull, who risked (and received) a death sentence by donning sheikh's garb and proclaiming Christ in the lands of Islam
  • Bartolome de las Casas, who fought tirelessly in newly Christian Mexico against the corruption and rapacity of his fellow Christians
  • St. Martin of Tours, who, full of confidence in God, risked a horrible death in order to demonstrate the truth of Christ to a disbelieving people
  • Fr. Nussbaum, who  brought the seed of God's word to the most infertile soil on earth: Tibet, the mysterious and legendary "top of the world" ... and many more

    Do you know which saint Suffered the death of a child? Divorced and remarried without an annulment? Lived with a lover? Had an illegitimate child? Was a compulsive gambler? Suffered from mental illness? Was an alcoholic? Contemplated suicide? Was betrayed by a friend?
     Ordinary Suffering of Extraordinary Saints  reveals these and dozens of other heart-touching stories behind the popular biographies of the saints.
     Here you’ll find real men and women facing very real sufferings: addiction, illness, grief, divorce, disability, unemployment, loneliness, poverty, and discrimination.

     These extraordinary men and women from Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Maximilian Kolbe to Clare of Assisi, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Therese of Lisieux became saints despite the suffering in their lives. By their response to sorrow and suffering, they grew profoundly more human and more Christ-like.

Saints Who Saw Mary
by Raphael Brown

$12.00 - 145 pages - Soft Cover 
Tan Books and Publishers

     Within these charming pages, Raphael Brown – compiler also of The Life of Mary as Seen by the Mystics – relates scores of beautiful, true stories about canonized Saints who saw and spoke with the Blessed Virgin Mary. He describes in detail their visions, giving the actual words spoken by Our Lady to St. Gertrude, to St. Francis of Assisi, to St. Bridget of Sweden, St. Mechtilde, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Simon Stock, St. Teresa of  Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Catherine Laboure and several others – seventeen in all! It is inspiring to see how the Blessed Mother has intervened in so many lives to grant favors, perform miracles, solve problems, heal bodies, convert souls, enlighten minds, encourage hearts, commission projects and impart secrets. Many of these stories involve Our Lord and Our Lady acting together, showing how the Mother of God works in close union with her divine Son. Moreover, the many graphic pictures of Our Lady and the Saints included here make the stories really come alive!
      Few Catholics have ever before heard most of the surprising stories recounted in Saints Who Saw Mary. And most will be amazed to see how great a role Our Lady has played in the lives of a number of famous Saints whose Marian devotion is not too well known. Recounted here are also the familiar stories of St. Simon Stock and the origin of the Brown Scapular, of St. Catherine Laboure and the Miraculous Medal and of St. Francis of Assisi and the great Portiuncula Indulgence.
