The Deep Church Revealed - An Enemy Within by John F McManus

Paperback: This book, written by a prominent and well known Catholic American, is the product of almost seventy years of close observation and deep study in a turbulent world of rapid change and degradation of church and society.

Recently, the courageous Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò published an acknowledgment of the problems discussed in this book in his now world famous Open Letter to President Trump where he spoke of Freemasonry and the ‘deep church’. Because that letter appeared as this book was going to press, The Deep Church Revealed was added to the original title as a fitting description of its content.

The revealing begins with a description of the Enlightenment philosophers and their anti-Catholic hatred, and the author proceeds from there to detail in forty-one astonishing chapters the story of how those men and the organizations they inspired grew and and spread their pernicious doctrines throughout the world and the Church.

The plans that these Freemasonic organizations laid were remarkably successful, even though vigorously opposed by every Pope for over 200 years. “An enemy hath done this,” Our Lord said in the parable of the wheat and the cockles. Truly, this can be said today of the situation in His Church. The holy and vigilant Padre Pio told Fr Luigi Villa in 1963 when he assigned Fr Villa the task of exposing these enemies “Courage, courage, courage! For the Church is already invaded by Freemasonry that has already reached the Pope’s slippers.”

We are thankful to Mr McManus for telling this story briefly, succinctly, and with unbounded love for our Holy Mother the Church. He advises us, like Saint Peter, “Be sober and watchful, for your adversary the devil goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Whom ye should resist, fortes in fide.”

About the author: John F McManus is a lifelong Catholic who grieves about what has happened within the Catholic Church. Educated by committed Catholic parents and by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, he then studied at two Jesuit-run institutions: Brooklyn Preparatory School (Brooklyn, New York) and Holy Cross College (Worcester, Massachusetts). At Holy Cross in 1957, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Physics and a commission as a Lieutenant in the US Marine Corps. He wrote two small pamphlets analyzing what had happened to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass: "About the Changes in the Mass" (1970) and "Questioning the New Mass" (1971) but even though tens of thousands of these easily reproduced and alarming works went to individuals throughout the United States and in several foreign lands, it did not succeed in bringing about any return of the Mass revered by millions that had marked the Church from its foundation. In 1982, the monthly journal From The Housetops published by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary featured his article entitled "Catholic Obedience," a summary of the Catholic Church's proper attitude about the topic. This article helped many confused and worried Catholics understand that blind obedience was un-Catholic. It even helped some priests to realise that obedience cannot supersede dogma.

The Hike by Lucy Clarke

Hardback: Wish you were here? Think again.

Maggie, Liz, Helena & Joni. Old friends bound by history, adventures, old secrets.

And now, bound by murder.

They lace up their hiking boots for the adventure of a lifetime in the Norwegian wilderness: a place of towering mountains, glass-like lakes, log cabins and forests stolen from a fairytale.

But there is a darker side to the wilderness. A woman went missing here one year ago, scarring the mountain with suspicion and unanswered questions.

Now, the friends are hiking into the heart of the mystery. And waiting on the trail is someone who would do anything to keep their secrets buried – and to stop the group walking away alive.

The Hike (2023) was a Sunday Times bestseller for the week ending 7 May 2023.

About the author: Sunday Times bestseller, Lucy Clarke, is the author of eight destination thrillers, which include Waterstones Thriller of the Month, The Castaways, and Richard and Judy Book Club pick, One of the Girls. Lucy’s novels have sold over a million copies in the UK alone and are published in over twenty territories worldwide.

No Escape has been filmed as a major international TV series for Paramount+ due for release in 2023, and three further novels are currently in development for screen.

When Lucy is not away on research trips (her favourite part of the job!), she can be found writing from a beach hut on the south coast of England. She lives with her husband and their two children.

Slaying Dragons II - The Rise Of The Occult: What Exorcists & Former Occultists Want You To Know by Charles D Fraune

Paperback: For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that He might destroy the works of the devil. - 1 John 3:8

Slaying Dragons: What Exorcists See & What We Should Know (2023) is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, and to the glorious and triumphant Archangel, Saint Michael.

For even the casual observer, it is evident that the world, nearly as a whole, is unmoored from obedience to Almighty God. The number of sins, many of which “cry to Heaven for vengeance,” which saturate the culture and the personal lives of the common man are legion, both in their breadth and in their diabolical quality. This spiritual depravity has invited, into the light of day, the Enemy who has always been working in darkness.

The Rise of the Occult (2023) presents to the reader an analysis of this emergence of the Enemy, in which Satan has found it to be the time to stir men back to idolatry, superstition, and ritualised hedonism. Witchcraft, Wicca, magic, Satanism, the New Age, astrology, Yoga, manifesting, and all of its countless variations are captivating the minds of modern men for whom the One True God has either been hidden or has been dismissed in favour of the annihilation of morality. It is this moral autonomy, in which man is “free” to “do as thou wilt,” which is the calling card of all forms of occult practice.

In The Rise of the Occult, by the author of the best-selling spiritual warfare book, Slaying Dragons: What Exorcists See & What We Should Know, the reader will learn:

- Where is the occult present in the culture today?

- How is the occult luring people, especially the youth, to embrace it?

- What are the real dangers of even minor dabbling in occult practices?

- Are demons truly active in all forms of occult practice, even witchcraft?

- How does a person escape the prison which the demons create for occultists?

These questions, and more, will be answered as the reader hears from former occultists, priests (exorcists and pastors) who have helped them, families who have lost children or parents to the occult, and those who have seen the evil spread of the occult amidst their daily activities.

"Our modern technological time, which boasts itself of having achieved the peak of freedom, is in effect languishing in an enormous slavery to Satan. The open display of signs of satanism, and the impudent acts of revolt and blasphemy against God’s created order and against Jesus Christ, have increased to a quasi-apocalyptic degree. Satan, the deceiver, offers to men his products of fake happiness and peace. The price and the means of these fake goods is occultism with its varied and sometimes seemingly harmless practices. With his valuable book Charles D Fraune unmasks the widespread occult practices, which have crept even into the life of the Church. This book represents a necessary and salutary warning cry against the demonic deceptions of our day and, at the same time, it points to the only valid and efficacious means of spiritual healing and liberation which Jesus Christ left His Church, the only institution here on earth against which the gates of hell will not prevail." + Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of Saint Mary in Astana

About the author: Charles D Fraune is an author, teacher, and speaker with a Master of Arts in Theology and an Advanced Apostolic Catechetical Diploma. He is the author of the best-selling spiritual warfare book: Slaying Dragons: What Exorcists See & What We Should Know. He has also published Swords and Shadows: Navigating Youth Amidst the Wiles of Satan and Come Way By Yourselves: A Guide to Prayer for Busy Catholics. His website is www.SlayingDragonsPress.com.

Spare Us! A Harrody by Bruno Vincent

Hardback: Do not begin your book with a serious quotation, it doesn't make you sound more clever. - Julius Caesar

He was born into an ancient powerful dynasty and, through no fault of his own, became one of the most recognisable men on the planet.

His life was a constant barrage of press intrusion and manipulation. 

Until finally, he demanded that it stop. 

In order to get the privacy he so craved, he has written a frostbite-and-all book that goes deep inside the castle walls and exposes every shouting match, fist-fight, betrayal, teddy bear, awkward hug and tear-stained wedding rehearsal for the world to feast their eyes on.

All for privacy! 

This is his story.

Spare Us! A Harrody (2023) is an exceptionally hilarious 112-page parody of Prince Harry's memoir.

About the author: Bruno Vincent was born in 1980. He was a bookseller and book editor before he was an author. His humour books for grown-ups, co-authored with Jon Butler, were national bestsellers and have been translated into seven languages. The Tumblewater books are his first for children. Vincent lives in London.

The Rest Of The Story: A Summary Of The Life And Times Of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre by Bernard Tissier de Mallerais

Paperback: "I am convinced that the Archbishop will occupy a major position in the history of post-conciliar Catholicism. The reason I believe this is that he had the courage and foresight to take the practical steps to preserve the traditional Faith." - Michael Davies, 1979

For nearly two thousand years the Catholic Mass was said in the same manner everywhere in the western world, regardless of nation or nationality. But in the 20th century that ceased to be true. 

Profound changes that had begun far earlier culminated in the Second Vatican Council and the creation of a new theology, the effect of which was a new form of worship. 

Up until this point in history, few laymen had ever heard the story of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Fewer still knew that he was a missionary in the fields of Africa, Bishop of Dakar, Apostolic Delegate to West Africa, or even that he was appointed as the head of the international priestly order of the Holy Ghost Fathers. How he became known as a conservative leader and a voice for all those looking to oppose modernism was known by fewer still. 

This is that story.

The Rest of the Story (2021) is an essential book for the Catholic readers of today as it provides a brief historical and liturgical-political backdrop for some of the most pivotal events of the 20th century - the effects of which we, as Catholics, are still experiencing today. While those who have read the near-700-page biography by the same author will not find anything new in this book, they will find the topics covered here much more accessible in this shortened format. If you are looking to learn more about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who he was, why he took action and the enormous effect his actions have had - this is the book you need to read.

The Rest of the Story is translated from the French by Michael J Miller.

About the author: Bernard Tissier de Mallerais FSSPX is a French Traditionalist bishop of the Society of Saint Pius X.

About the translator: Michael J Miller is an academic (MPhil in Comparative Literature from Yale Graduate School) and literary translator. He is the sole owner and operator at Skladach Translations. He has translated several dozen books from German, French, Italian and Latin for academic and Catholic publishers and regularly translates news and articles for three websites.

Novelty

Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson

Hardback: Pineapple Street (2023) is a wryly funny and compassionate story of love, family and class.

This excellent debut follows three women in an old Brooklyn Heights clan: one who was born with money, one who married into it, and one who wants to give it all away.

Darley, the eldest daughter in the well-connected, carefully guarded Stockton family, has never had to worry about money. She followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for motherhood, sacrificing more of herself than she ever intended. 

Sasha, Darley's new sister-in-law, has come from more humble origins, and her hesitancy about signing a pre-nup has everyone worried about her intentions. 

And Georgiana, the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she can't (and really shouldn't) have, and must confront the kind of person she wants to be.

Shot through with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist debut novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognisable, loveable - if fallible - characters, it is about the peculiar unknowability of someone else’s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the insanity of first love - all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

About the author: Jenny Jackson is a Vice President and Executive Editor at Alfred A Knopf. A graduate of Williams College and the Columbia Publishing Course, Jenny lives in Brooklyn Heights with her family. Pineapple Street is her first novel.

The Tempter's Hour: Interview with Malachi Martin

Eternal War: Interview with Malachi Martin

Paperback: Eternal War: Interview with Malachi Martin (2020, Third Printing) provides insights into the new world order, the current conflicts in the Middle East and the crisis in the Catholic Church. An eye-opener!

In The Eternal War, Father Martin discusses in-depth topics such as same-sex marriages and the crisis of the priesthood. He foresaw future conflicts and the outlines of the new world order. By basing his analysis of world events on eternal verities, Father Martin also foresaw the failure of the new world order. Speaking about the new world order, he said, "It is the rule of man alone and that has no blessing!" Father Martin was able to see what today's world leaders cannot, that it is futile to attempt to build a stable political order without God.

Speaking about liberal churchmen, Father Martin said, "If you lose your faith, if you become an apostate, you don't know that you have lost it... So, you can lose your faith and the curse is that God doesn't let you know that you have lost it." Implicit in these words is a warning for all of us. We must be vigilant in guarding our faith against the preternatural spirits and their human servants. Let us pray unceasingly, stay with the traditional beliefs and practices of our faith and work for the restoration of all things in Jesus Christ.

Eternal War: Interview with Malachi Martin is a transcript of three recorded interviews with Father Malachi Martin. These interviews, recorded in 1991, were the second of eight recording sessions conducted during the last decade of Father Martin's life by Canadian journalist and publisher Bernard Janzen.

I'm Unvaccinated And That's OK! by Dr Shannon Kroner

Hardback: I'm Unvaccinated and That's OK! (18 July 2023) is the story of an unvaccinated child named Nicholas Novaks, who shares the many reasons why his parents have chosen not to vaccinate him. Nicholas explains his parents' personal concerns about vaccine injury, the importance of finding a doctor they can trust and openly speak with, the research they did before making this decision, and what life is like for an unvaccinated child who has an older, vaccine-injured sibling.

Inspired by the personal stories of vaccine-injured children, which have been shared with Dr. Shannon Kroner over many years of working with special needs families, Dr. Kroner aims to raise awareness of the importance of vaccine choice and the necessity of doing the research before making an important decision such as vaccination.

Join Nicholas as he shares what it means to be an unvaccinated child in today's world and why one's personal choice regarding vaccination must always be respected.

I'm Unvaccinated and That's OK! is wonderfully illustrated by Manfred Calderón. The 32-page book will be released on 18 July 2023 but one can pre-order it now on Amazon UK/USA and various online book sellers such as saxo.com. It is also available as an ebook.

About the author: Dr Shannon Kroner has a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and a master's degree in Special Education. Her doctoral dissertation, entitled, "Childhood Vaccinations: The Development of an Educational Manual," provides a psychological viewpoint of the ways in which parents make decisions regarding vaccinations for their children.

When Dr Kroner first began working with special needs families in 2001, she discovered many parents sharing similar stories about their children's disabilities having occurred shortly after receiving a vaccine. Then, in 2009, while pregnant, Dr Kroner personally suffered a vaccine injury after receiving a "preservative-free" flu shot. Believing it was safer than others because it was "preservative-free," she received the vaccine, but suffered a serious reaction that landed her in the emergency room. Upon hearing so many personal vaccine injury stories and then experiencing her own adverse reaction, Dr Kroner decided it was time to seriously research vaccines.

Following vaccine mandate laws that removed both religious and medical exemptions in California, Dr. Kroner founded the organization, Freedom of Religion-United Solutions (FOR-US) in 2019. Serving as its executive director, she has united faith leaders of many faiths to protect the religious freedom of vaccine choice and has helped thousands of individuals obtain religious vaccine exemptions.

As a public speaker, advocate, author, wife, and mother, Dr Kroner understands the importance of protecting vaccine choice and educating today's children as they pave the way towards a brighter tomorrow.
