Culture and Abortion
–
New Publication!
Edward Short
A series of essays in which Short explains how culture can stifle our ability to discern good from evil. He
does this through the exploration of culture as expressed by words: poetry, history, criticism, fiction and
even the encyclicals of popes. In one essay, he discusses young girls and the Culture of Death through a
brilliant analysis of an article in the Wall Street Journal entitled:
Why Do We Let them Dress
Like That
?
and in another explores the pro-life message of the Dickens’ novel
Little Dorrit
.
This work indeed
represents an original way of making the pro-life case.

Sexuality Explained: A Guide for Parents and Children
Louise Kirk
A very user friendly book, which emphasizes the parents as the first educator of their children. Stories,
pictures and text involve parent and child in meaningful discussion, or older children may read on their
own, with the parents ready for questions. Alternatively, the parents might use the book as a reference for
themselves to use the knowledge gained when the need arises. There is no religious teaching, however,
the Guide starts from the premise that all human life is of equal dignity and thus worthy of respect. Highly
recommended.
