Basic Books

The Migration of Hair is Dan Burke's second novel, and a follow up to his hit 2003 novel, Driving Into The Sun. In this reprise, we find main character Tommy Aloysius questioning his life deep in the deserts of Arizona. Climb aboard this freight train to hell as Tommy blasts off to Eastern Europe as an ex-pornographer in exile. There are plenty of laughs and cries in store for you inside this beautifully printed book, which includes 9 full-sized illustrations by Joe Forkan. Excerpt "I won’t even get started on my hairline. It’s a good thing I was able to grow my hair long in my twenties. Thinning came quickly, and like my pits, came on with a vengeance. I complain now, but just think what I have to look forward to. Soon, my hairline will split down the middle of my head, creating two islands of combover heyday. Then, like a Play-Doh toy machine, hair will begin to sprout out of my ears, appear on my back, cover my chest and knuckles while my head loses the rest of its wooly protection and glows with a shine. That’s nature. I couldn’t stop it if I tried. It’s change in its cruelest hour, changing me from a man to a monkey as I grow wise. "And life is really no different than this: the migration of hair. Things happen to us, for better or worse; we try to form opinions, we try to effect change in our favor, but change doesn’t care. Change will change whether we like it or not. Man-smell—Wham! Thinning hairline—Wham! Your woman leaves you—Wham! You get fired for being a pornographer—Wham! You get the point."

Satan is always at work breeding sadness and anxiety while providing obstacles that prevent souls from making spiritual progress. In this concise yet powerful book, author Dan Burke presents the venerable, time-tested wisdom of Catholic mystics to help you understand the influence of the Enemy on your mind and heart, and the tactics you need to combat him.
 With St. Ignatius as his guide, Burke presents here an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary combat that is both inevitable and winnable. Burke will help you recognize the ebbs and flows of consolation and desolation, and distinguish between the voices of God and of Satan. Best of all, you'll come to see the spiritual life not as a science to be learned, but as an intuitive art to be practiced as you move with increasing success from habitual sin to sanctity.
The battle for our souls is unavoidable. The saints won theirs by learning how to be spiritual warriors and by recognizing that we become stronger through battle and grow weaker from avoidance. With this book as your guide, you'll grow in strength and contentment as you learn:
<li>How to take captive every negative thought and make it obedient to Christ</li>
<li>St. Ignatius's revelations exposing how the Devil seeks to influence us</li>
<li>The Paradigm of Ascent and the Five Steps to Sanctity</li>
<li>The three ways you can discern Good Spirits from Bad Spirits </li>
<li>The three principal causes of desolation and what you must do when it afflicts your soul </li>
<li>Proven methods for moving away from sin and toward self-giving love of God and neighbor.</li>

Spiritual Warfare and The Discernment of Spirits

Review\n"In the midst of dark times, we need light and clarity. Dan Burke provides both through his illumination of the wisdom of St. Teresa of Avila regarding how we can and must fight the forces that seek to keep us from our high calling to union with God." 
Bishop Athanasius Schneider 
Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana 
"Dan Burke has masterfully, simply, and clearly shown the followers of Christ how to be vigilant against the devil's tactics and take up the torch to become, once again, the prophets and faithful witnesses of our time." 
Mother Gloria Therese 
Superior General, Carmelite Sisters 
"Whatever the reader's stage of spiritual experience, he will surely be enriched by the breadth and the depth of Dan Burke's wisdom." 
Timothy Gordon 
Author, The Case for Patriarchy --Personal Endorsements\nWe often think of demons appearing only in extravagant and extraordinary manifestations or working only through “bad” people. But the truth is more frightening than that. Most demonic activity takes place undetected, under the radar, and can even be hidden in our own prayer lives and in the churches where we attend Mass. Subtlety, illusion, and deceit are the preferred tactics of Satan’s army of fallen angels, and they are waging an invisible battle for souls ― right now ― within and around us all. 
With St. Teresa of Avila’s masterpiece The Interior Castle as his guide, bestselling author Dan Burke takes you on an illuminating journey through the seven levels of spiritual progress, explaining what God is accomplishing within your soul at each stage, as well as the finely tailored demonic strategies applied to throw you off your path. 
You’ll learn how the devil is as active in your prayer life as you are, and how the saints were able to counter Satan as he adapted his schemes to correspond with where they were on their spiritual journeys. 
By discovering the myriad challenges St. Teresa faced and the remedies she employed to advance the spiritual progress of her soul, you’ll know precisely what to expect as you progress in your current state to your final spiritual destination. You’ll also learn: The marks of authentic contemplative encounter with God Why God uses dryness in prayer to advance the progress of our souls How to know if you’re still in the “Purgative Way” How desolation can work for the good of the soul Why it’s dangerous to assume that your decisions are correct if you feel at peace How to fight distraction in prayer The 11 ways to test the authenticity of charismatic gifts

Devil in the Castle: St. Teresa of Avila, Spiritual Warfare, and the Progress of the Soul

You know that in an Apostolic Letter in 2002, Pope John Paul II added five Luminous Mysteries. Did you know that in that same Letter he also called for a new way of praying the Rosary?
St. John Paul II s new way of praying the Rosary was based on the teachings of St. Theresa of Avila and has become known as the Contemplative Rosary because it more perfectly unites vocal prayer and meditation, transforming the prayers of the Rosary into a contemplative meeting with God.
Did you know about these changes? Have you tried them?
In our new book, The Contemplative Rosary, we have not only incorporated the five new Luminous Mysteries, we have included as well the many other changes Pope John Paul made to the Rosary.
Here are his additions to the texts and prayers additions small and large that, as John Paul intended, unite the Rosary more closely to the official liturgical prayers of the Church as well as to Scripture.
Here are also scores of full-color images for your contemplation that anchor your attention in each Mystery and transform your Rosary from a hasty, habitual recitation into a profound speaking to God and a keen listening to Him.
Following the wise advice of St. Theresa of Avila and the new method proposed by St. John Paul, you ll find here for each mystery:
 A lovely, full-color classical painting depicting the events in the Mystery, for help in your contemplation A unique announcement of the Mystery A statement of the expected fruits of the Mystery The Scriptural passage you should consider before embarking on your prayers of the Mystery A call for a moment of silence in order to recollect yourself before entering the presence of God Each Mystery s own unique Hail Mary, including within each a John Paul II recommended statement of faith to pull wandering minds back to Christ and center them in the mystery Seven meditations tailored to each Mystery, to accompany your recitation of the Hail Marys (but only employ one at a time) A concluding short prayer asking God for the fruits specific to that Mystery Plus much more, so that finally you can begin to pray the Rosary as Saint John Paul wants you to pray it!
