Holiness in the Hundred-Acre Wood (or What Tiggers Like Best!) by Fr. Lawrence Maria Waszkiewicz

Published in collaboration with the Christian Center for Culture of Mary Our Queen.

Holiness in the Hundred-Acre Wood (or What Tiggers Like Best!) 

by Fr. Lawrence Maria Waszkiewicz

Many adults joyfully return to the books they loved as children in later years, discovering in them a surprising depth of wisdom and goodness. This is especially true for parents, whose very lives lead them to relive childhood alongside their own children.

This book was written precisely for such adults (and for their children as well): those capable of looking more deeply, both with a twinkle in the eye and with utmost seriousness. For it seems that God continually teaches His children not to take “serious matters” too seriously, while at the same time approaching seemingly trivial things with the seriousness they deserve.

– And of course, there is one more reason. Your birthday, Pooh.
– Really?
– Of course. It has already been one hundred years since the world first learned of your peculiar way of coming down the stairs: “Bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin, who was pulling him by the forepaw.” A hundredth birthday.
– And you remembered?
– Oh, I’m quite certain I wasn’t the only one!

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

The Uncreated Fire: A Metaphysical Offering in Procession and Return by Basil, Obl. O.S.B.

The Uncreated Fire: A Metaphysical Offering in Procession and Return by Basil, Obl. O.S.B.

The Uncreated Fire: A Metaphysical Offering in Procession and Return

by Basil, Oblate Order of St. Benedict (Obl. O.S.B.)

What if the deepest truth of the universe is not concept, not structure, not sequence— but fire?

What if the Trinity is not a doctrine to be explained but a flame to be received?

What if the Church is not two traditions but one fire burning in many forms?

What if creation itself is a procession of flame returning to its source?

In this groundbreaking metaphysical work, Basil, Oblate of the Order of St. Benedict, unveils the ancient truth that has burned beneath the Church from the beginning: that God is uncreated fire, and that the destiny of all things is return.

Drawing from Augustine, Dionysius, Bonaventure, the Eastern Fathers, and the silent witnesses of wounded holiness, this book reveals the unity of East and West, the architecture of the Trinity, and the eschatological fire that awaits the cosmos.

This is not a book. It is a school. A school whose only teacher is God. A school whose curriculum is flame. A school whose end is communion.

Enter the fire.

Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“This work advances a luminous metaphysics where fire, Logos, and communion converge. It does not explain the divine; it initiates the reader into participation, where theology yields to encounter and meaning returns as consecrated flame.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Basil (Obl.O.S.B.) is an Oblate of the Order of St. Benedict, formed by the silence of monastic life, the discipline of metaphysical inquiry, and the fire of Trinitarian theology. He writes at the intersection of tradition and revelation, East and West, silence and fire. His work seeks one thing: to unveil the unity of the Church and the destiny of creation in the uncreated fire of God. He lives in St. Augustine, Florida, where he continues to write, pray, and guard the flame at our nation’s first parish and at the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, the oldest Marian shrine in the United States.

The Breath that Never Ages by Basil, Obl. O.S.B.

The Breath that Never Ages

by Basil, Oblate Order of St. Benedict (Obl. O.S.B.)

This is not a book. It is a breath.

A theological meditation on time, erosion, and divine endurance,  The Breath That Never Ages is the final offering of Basil, Oblate Order of St. Benedict (Obl.O.S.B.). It does not continue his earlier work—That the Figure May Remain Whole—it transfigures it. Not in defiance, but in reverence.

Here, symbols fade. Prayer trembles. Form cracks. But the breath survives. Theology does not ascend. It does not collapse. It abides.

This manuscript is for those who no longer seek to preserve the figure. For those who no longer defend the scaffold. For those whose breath falters, yet remains.

It is not a map. It is not a scaffold. It is not a conclusion.

It is the breath that never ages. Let it be received.

Paperback: $9.99 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“This work moves beyond symbol into silence, where breath endures and theology yields. It does not persuade; it consecrates, inviting the reader to relinquish form and receive what remains in reverent, contemplative surrender.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy

Paperback: $12.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

By Ronda Chervin

Tinsel Talk: Fakery or Pleasantry? by Ronda Chervin explores the subtle ways everyday language can obscure truth through euphemism, exaggeration, and convention. Drawing from philosophy, spirituality, and lived experience, Chervin examines common expressions that soften, distort, or sentimentalize reality. With wit and pastoral insight, she invites readers into a mindful, charitable use of words—one that balances honesty with kindness and seeks to align speech with a deeper love of truth.

Paperback: $9.99 | Kindle: $4.99
