Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy."

Written in 1941, this is the book that theorized how the world was moving into the hands of the "managers". Burnham explains how capitalism had virtually lost its control, and would be displaced not by labour, nor by socialism, but by the rule of administrators in business and in government.

Wilhelm Hauffs berühmte Märchen im Original ungekürzt mit allen Rahmenhandlungen. Mit "Zwerg Nase", "Abner, der Mensch, der nichts gesehen hatte", "Der Affe als Mensch", "Das Fest der Unterirdischen", "Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot", "Die Geschichte Almansors", "Wie die kleine Prinzessin einmal nicht umhin konnte" und "Vom Glück".

Eines Tages beginnt in Deutschland der Sauerstoffgehalt der Luft zurückzugehen: langsam, aber stetig. Die Politik bemüht sich, die Sicherheit und Gesundheit der Bürger zu gewährleisten. Die Wirtschaft wittert einen phänomenalen Markt. Die Wissenschaft weiß, warum der Sauerstoffgehalt zurückgeht: Die Bäume haben die Fotosynthese eingestellt. Aber keiner weiß, warum. Es existiert nur eine absurde Theorie: Die Bäume streiken.

Wilhelm Hauff starb bereits mit 25 Jahren. Hinterlassen hat er vor allem drei Märchensammlungen, die an Bekanntheit denen der Grimms und Andersens in Nichts nachstehen. Wer kennt sie nicht, den Zwerg Nase, den Kleinen Muck, den falschen Prinzen oder hat sich nicht schon beim "Gespensterschiff" gehörig gegruselt. Hauffs Märchen waren gedacht als "Märchen für Söhne und Töchter gebildeter Stände" und sind im Original eher für Erwachsene geschrieben als für Kinder, für die es heute viele sinnvoll und gemäßigt bearbeitete Fassungen gibt.

In einem sind sich die Literaturwissenschaftler bei Goethes "Faust" einig: Gott wettet nicht. Das hat er gar nicht nötig. Was aber wenn doch? Gähnende Langeweile treibt schließlich so manche merkwürdige Blüte. Was wäre also, wenn Gott auf den Wettstreit mit Mephisto ernsthaft einginge? Und was wäre, wenn Gott seine Wette verlöre?

"Es lebte einmal hinter den Bergen eines fernen Landes ein König, der hieß König Griesgram. Um genauer zu sein: Er hieß König Griesgram, der Griesgrämige. Er hatte eine wunderschöne Tochter, die Kleine Prinzessin Laura. Ihre Tage waren angefüllt mit Spiel und Spaß, und sie hatte keinerlei Sorgen." Das stimmt leider nicht so ganz. Laura hat eine Sorge, und die betrifft ihren Königlichen Vater. Der hat nämlich nie Zeit für sie und muss ständig regieren. Zwar versucht er drei Mal so etwas wie ein Lachen zustande zu bringen, aber es will ihm nicht recht gelingen.

Anne grew up in an abusive home, leading to severe depression and a determination to do better as a mother. One of her sons wants a dog from the time he is a baby; Anne very much does not. For years she appeases him with creatures who live in cages and tanks, but on his tenth birthday she can no longer say no—and she proceeds to fall in love with their new four-legged family member, Mattie. Then Mattie dies a sudden and tragic death, and Anne feels herself begin to sink back into depression.

Why were the early Christians willing to die rather than change a single iota of the creed? Why have the Judeans, Romans, and Persians - among others - seen the Christian creed as a threat to the established social order? In The Creed: Professing the Faith Through the Ages, best-selling author Dr. Scott Hahn recovers and conveys the creed's revolutionary character.

In The First Society: The Sacrament of Matrimony and the Restoration of the Social Order, Scott Hahn makes the startling claim that our society's ills and its cures are rooted in whether we reject or accept the divine graces made available through the sacrament of holy matrimony.

As Catholics, we believe in the resurrection of the body. We profess it in our creed. We're taught that to bury and pray for the dead are corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We honor the dead in our Liturgy through the rite of Christian burial. We do all of this, and more, because when Jesus Christ took on flesh for the salvation of our souls he also bestowed great dignity on our bodies. In Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body, Scott Hahn explores the significance of death and burial from a Catholic perspective.

In the appealing conversational tone that has won him millions of devoted readers, Hahn presents the basic tenets of Church teachings, clears up common misconceptions about specific rituals and traditions, and responds thoughtfully to the objections raised about them. Each chapter concludes with loving, good-natured, inspiring advice on applying the Church's wisdom to everyday life.

For decades, it has been nearly universal dogma among environmentalists and health advocates that cattle and beef are public enemy number one. But is the matter really so clear? Hardly, argues environmental lawyer turned rancher Nicolette Hahn Niman in her new book, Defending Beef. The public has long been led to believe that livestock, especially cattle, erode soils, pollute air and water, damage riparian areas, and decimate wildlife populations. In Defending Beef, Hahn Niman argues that cattle are not inherently bad for either the Earth or our own nutritional health.

Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They're cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven.

Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively audiobook, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses".
