The “Culture of Death” has become a popular phrase, and is much
bandied about in academic circles. Yet, for most people, its meaning remains
vague and remote. DeMarco and Wiker have given the Culture of Death high
definition and frightening immediacy. They have exposed its roots by introducing
its “architects.” In a scholarly, yet reader-friendly delineation
of the mindsets of twenty-three influential thinkers, such as Ayn Rand,
Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger,
Jack Kevorkian, and Peter Singer, they make clear the aberrant thought and
malevolent intentions that have shaped the Culture of Death.
Still, this is not a book without hope. If the Culture of Death rests on
a fragmented view of the person and an eclipse of God, hope for the “Culture
of Life” rests on an understanding and restoration of the human being
as a person, and the rediscovery of a benevolent God. The “Personalism”
of John Paul II is an illuminating thread that runs through Architects,
serving as a hopeful antidote.
“An action-packed, riveting and educational exposé
that reveals little-known facts that are shocking and incredible. You
will not want to put this book down...”

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the finest Christian authors and apologists
of the past two hundred years. Raised as an agnostic, he embraced Christianity as a young man, ultimately entering the Catholic Church
in 1922. He wrote hundreds of essays, as well as novels, short stories, poetry, apologetics, literary
criticism, and nearly everything else imaginable. Dale Ahlquist, president and co-founder of the American
Chesterton Society and author of
G.K Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense, writes, "Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism,
history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. His style is unmistakable, always marked
by humility, consistency, paradox, wit, and wonder. His writing remains as timely and as timeless
today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper." Read more
about the life and work of this remarkable thinker, author, and apologist.

The Quest For Shakespeare: The Bard
of Avon and the Church of Rome
by Joseph Pearce
Highly regarded and best-selling literary writer and teacher, Joseph Pearce presents a stimulating and vivid biography of the
world's most revered writer that is sure to be controversial. Unabashedly provocative, with scholarship, insight and keen observation,
Pearce strives to separate historical fact from fiction about the beloved Bard. Shakespeare is not only one of the greatest
figures in human history, he is also one of the most controversial and one of the most elusive. He is famous and yet almost
unknown. Who was he? What were his beliefs? Can we really understand his plays and his poetry if we don't know the man who
wrote them? These are some of the questions that are asked and answered in this gripping and engaging study of the world's
greatest ever poet. The Quest for Shakespeare claims that books about the Bard have got him totally wrong. They misread the
man and misread the work. The true Shakespeare has eluded the grasp of the critics. Dealing with the facts of Shakespeare's
life and times, Pearce's quest leads to the inescapable conclusion that Shakespeare was a believing Catholic living in very
anti-Catholic times.
