Never Stop Walking: The Life and Spirit of Saint Alphonsus Liguori
Never Stop Walking identifies the key stages in St. Alphonsus' life, and reveals him as a seeker who wrestled with conflicting dreams--a humble servant to the "most abandoned," and achiever of great things for Christ.
As founder of the Redemptorists, Alphonsus left his mark not only on the worldwide Congregation but also on the Rule of the Redemptoristine Sisters--and on the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, founded by Redemptorist Louis Florent Gillet.

Saint Anthony of Padua - A Voice from Heaven
Franciscan expert Anton Rotzetter presents the story of one of the world's most beloved saints, Anthony of Padua, focusing on Anthony's great ministry and the legends surrounding him. Not a biography in traditional sense, the book begins with what Rotzetter sees as the turning point in the quiet, prayerful monk's life when in the fall of 1222 the saint enters the public eye during his first preaching appearance and astounds everyone! Rotzetter's work reflects the personal bond he feels with Anthony, and he weaves these personal impressions with the saint's life and deeds. Rotzetter writes in a style almost conversational at times, drawing parallels to Bible verses from the legends.

Padre Pio - The Wonder Worker
The many gifts Padre Pio had such as the stigmata, bilocation, miraculous scents, prophecy, reading hearts, healing, interpreting languages and many other charisms, rank him among the most extraordinary Saints in the two-thousand year history of the Church.
Though the book records many authenticated wonders, the book's main virtue consists in recounting the life and heroic virtues of this modern day Saint who shows that the way to personal holiness is very much with us in our day. The first seven chapters are a biographical sketch, followed by over thirty chapters dealing with the many inspiring facts pertaining to his life and charisms. Also included are chapters on the Beatification ceremony in Rome and the Pope's homilies. Illustrated, 210 pages S$26.50
   

Apparitions of Modern Saints recounts fascinating stories of after-death appearances of Thérèse of Lisieux, Don Bosco, Padre Pio, Mother Cabrini, Katharine Drexel, Solanus Casey, Pope John XXIII, and many other nineteenth- and twentieth-century saints. These messengers from God bring healing, encouragement, wisdom, and spiritual freedom. However, they bring to us another gift as well: These appearances bear witness to the reality of the communion of saints, the extraordinary association of the faithful living on earth with those who already stand before God's throne. Illustrated, 293 pages, S$26.50
