The Sign of the Cross
St. Francis de Sales
From the young St. Francis de Sales’ heroic efforts to bring Calvinists back to the Faith comes this
succinct, eloquent defense of the age-old Catholic practice of making the Sign of the Cross, which
sixteenth-century Calvinists denounced as a Popish invention and many Protestants scorn even today.
Embodying the zeal of youth and the wisdom of age, this gentle jewel of Catholic apologetics traces the
origins of the Sign of the Cross back to the Fathers of the Church, to the Apostles before them, and finally
to our Lord Himself. Among the other things you’ll learn here: why God chooses to attach power to the
Sign of the Cross; how to convince skeptics to value and pray with it; two uses of the Sign of the Cross: do you know both
of them? how the Sign of the Cross is the antidote to the Mark of the Devil; errors in the claims of those who oppose this
practice.

Who is the Devil?
Nicholas Corte
In these pages written over half-a-century ago, Nicolas Corte gives you incontrovertible proof that Satan
exists. But, with God’s help — and the help of the good angels, who are truly your friends and guardians
—
you can repel the Devil. In this book, you will learn: why, if you are Christian, you must believe in
devils; you have own personal devil; the terrible distance the “kingdom of Satan” extends into this world;
how, long before the Internet, the Devil assaulted St. Anthony with obscene images, which het repelled
(
and shows how we can, too); Satanism: what it really is and how — unknowingly — even ordinary
people fall into it; exorcisms and the priests who perform them; how, despite the subtlety and raw power
of Satan, you can be assured of salvation.

Henry Garnett
England, 1585. Queen Elizabeth’s spies lurk everywhere, searching out Catholics who refuse to attend

his widowed mother has become Catholic, and he soon joins the Church she has come to love. Thus
begin Nicholas’s adventures in the Companions, a pious underground army of resistance that shelters
priests and leads them in strict secrecy and great danger…
