Dubbed “that divine eccentric,” Caryll Houselander married prodigious artistic and literary talents with unstinting devotion to the poor, the sick, and the sinners in her midst. Ronald Knox said that she “seemed to see everything for the first time, and…seemed to find no difficulty in getting the right word; no, not merely the right word, the telling word, that left you gasping.” In her own words, “broken across psychologically” by neuroses and temptations, “not by nature patient, kind, gentle,” Houselander’s critical faculty made charity a constant challenge—despite her persistent efforts to “see Christ in everyone.” Nevertheless, her distinguishing characteristic was a deep, genuine love of God, finding expression in a mysticism which ultimately kept her sane and centered on Christ until her untimely death at the age of fifty-four. In this absorbing, competently crafted biography, Maisie Ward pays tribute to a woman who offered her very self unreservedly to Christ and his brethren, from greatest to least. Caryll Divine Eccentric shows clearly that, like her written works, Houselander herself is “still alive, still contemporary.”

Why do we exist? Why do we suffer? Can you really explain what you believe? This book will help you begin to understand the truths of the Catholic Church and show you ways to explain your faith to others. This reprinted classic provides precise, practical outlines on the Bible, holiness, Mary, the problem of evil, and much more. It is compiled by two of the most popular and respect Catholic apologists of this century: Frank Sheed and Maisie Ward. Francis Joseph "Frank" Sheed (1897 - 1981), an Australian-born lawyer, was a Catholic writer, publisher, and speaker. He and his wife Maisie Ward were famous in their day as the names behind the imprint Sheed &amp; Ward and as forceful public lecturers in the Catholic Evidence Guild.

Catholic Evidence: A Classic Guide to Understanding & Explaining the Truths of the Catholic Church

Franciscan University Press

This enduring classic, reprinted as the high-quality heirloom Catholic Answers Classics Series, is beautifully bound with hard cloth covers,heavy paper,gold embossing, and red silk ribbon bookmark. Founded in 1918 by the English theologian and author Frank Sheed, the Catholic Evidence Guild was the spiritual forerunner to countless English-language apologetics groups that followed including Catholic Answers. Guild members were put through a boot camp that trained them not only to answer any and all questions about the Faith, but to do it with charity and composure. The Catholic Evidence Guild Training Outlines is the handbook for that formation. Giving equal attention to instruction in apologetics subjects and practical guidance for conducting apologetics ministry, it s still useful for defending the Faith today and a worthy tribute to those trailblazers who went out to defend the Faith in 1920 s London.
