The Irony of Modern Catholic History
How the Church Rediscovered Itself and Challenged the Modern World to Reform
By: George Weigel
Narrated by: Rick Adamson
Throughout much of the 19th century, both secular and Catholic leaders assumed that the Church and the modern world were locked in a battle to the death. The triumph of modernity would not only finish the Church as a consequential player in world history; it would also lead to the death of religious conviction. But today, the Catholic Church is far more vital and consequential than it was 150 years ago.

How to Understand, Defend, and Explain the Catholic Faith
By: Scott Hahn
Narrated by: Grover Gardner
In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable.
Amazing person, Scott Hahn

The Bible Is a Catholic Book
By: Jimmy Akin
Narrated by: Jimmy Akin
In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy Akin shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries, and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation. If you're a Catholic who sometimes gets intimidated by the Bible, The Bible Is a Catholic Book will help you better understand and take pride in this gift that God gave the world through the church.
Beautifully explained as only Jimmy Akin can do.<br />

Angels and Saints
A Biblical Guide to Friendship with God's Holy Ones
Narrated by: Scott Hahn
Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They're cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven.
Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively audiobook, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses".
Wonderful, thoughtful introduction to major saints

Mary as the Early Christians Knew Her
The Mother of Jesus in Three Ancient Texts
By: Frederica Mathewes-Green
Narrated by: Frederica Mathewes-Green
Mary is the flower of femininity to some, a woman of power to others. She has been seen as a paragon of obedience as well as an instrument of liberation. Some have piled her status so high that it rivals that of her Son. Other do their best to ignore her. Behind all of those images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ.

Professing the Faith Through the Ages
Why were the early Christians willing to die rather than change a single iota of the creed? Why have the Judeans, Romans, and Persians - among others - seen the Christian creed as a threat to the established social order?

Catholics are identified by devotion to the Eucharist and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. By turning to Mary, Catholics grow in faith and understanding.
Now you can explore Mary in Scripture, tradition, and devotion with one of the world's leading experts as your personal guide and teacher. The Bible offers a brilliant portrait of Mary. Join Fr. Bert Buby, SM, as he travels with Mary through the Gospels, St. Paul's letters, and the book of Revelation. After journeying through the New Testament, see Mary revealed through the liturgical use of Old Testament texts and 46 Masses honoring the mother of Jesus.
You will follow the development of Marian theology, seeing how the earliest Christians testify to her role and her gifts of grace: her virginity, sinlessness, role as God-bearer (Theotokos), and Assumption into heaven. Their sermons, essays, and defense of her person form the living tradition of the Church. You will explore the four Marian dogmas in the light of the Incarnation. Learn the many ways the church makes Mary known, through the Scriptures, the liturgy, and devotions.
Fr. Buby will guide you through Vatican II's document on Mary as well as the teachings by Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. You will also come to understand the power of the great Marian prayers - the Hail Mary and the Ave Maria - and her relationship to the Trinity.
As you prayerfully reflect on the person of Mary, you will be called to grow in your understanding and love of the mother of Jesus.
