Cranmer’s Godly Order
Liturgical Revolution: Vol. I


Michael Davies shows that Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer understood that if you change the way people pray, then you will change what they believe. Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer (1549) began a process that changed the Catholic Church in England to the Anglican sect. Davies compares these changes to the modern liturgical “reforms” and the similarities are shocking.

Cranmer’s Godly Order is a classic…revised and expanded by Mr. Davies during his final years. Drawing upon the best of Catholic and Protestant scholarship and on primary sources, Davies traces the steps by which the ancient Catholic Mass became the Lord’s Supper in the Church of England. And these steps were changes – as Popes and Reformers alike were at pains to stress.

Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII and Edward VI and architect of the new liturgy, was a master of the theology of the Mass, and hated it. The parallels between the Anglican liturgy and the New Mass of the 1960s will be uncomfortably obvious!

Pope John’s Council
Liturgical Revolution: Vol. II

For those who have read it, it is already a classic. Few books can rival its clarity and objectivity.

An incredible pattern emerges: a pastoral Council hijacked by a clique of theological liberals who consign to the trash the documents of the Council Preparatory Committee (of which Archbishop Lefebvre was a member), shut off the microphones of those who attempt to defend the Faith (suffering this indignity was no less than the illustrious Cardinal Ottaviani), and co-opting the media so that their spin became “reality”?

Pope Paul’s New Mass

Liturgical Revolution: Vol. III

It is the unparalleled history of how the New Mass was devised, created, and implemented. Beyond this, a list of the manifold liturgical problems of the past generation is documented: from Mass facing the people and revolutionary legislation to Communion in the hand and the problem of the Offertory. For over thirty years this book has been considered the most thorough critique of the New Mass in the English language.

Family Movie Night – The River Within

The River Within is the feature film debut of writer/director Zac Heath. Shot on location along the Spring River in beautiful Northeast Arkansas, it explores the idea that each of our lives has a purpose; whether we know it or not.

Jason returns home to get away while he studies for the upcoming bar exam. After visiting his oldest friend, a “coulda-been-girlfriend” who is now engaged, and a pushy preacher, his easygoing summer becomes filled with unwanted drama. Over the few months he’s there, he begins to question what life is about, and what is his purpose in it?

The Dove Foundations awards The River Within 5 out of 5 Doves and recommends it for ages 12 and above.

Read the Introduction: No Turning Back

Matt Abbott had the introduction to this great book in his column over at Renew America.  Check it out.

No Turning Back - A Witness to Mercy

I saw the video that he made over 5 years ago but this book tells the whole story plus you get a bonus; 29 color photos.   Today Fr. Donald is a devout Catholic Marian priest.  His early years were no indication of what was to come.  He was a high school dropout who had been kicked out of a foreign country, institutionalized twice and thrown in jail multiple times.

All sales from the book go to his community, the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception, so that they can continue to promote devotion to Our Lady and The Divine Mercy.

This should be a great book to share with relatives who are away from the faith!  Get it today!
