The Devil-ution of Society: From a Civilization of Life to a Culture of Death to an Age of Insanity

The Devil-ution of Society: From a Civilization of Life to a Culture of Death to an Age of Insanity

The Devil-ution of Society: From a Civilization of Life to a Culture of Death to an Age of Insanity

by Paul Murano

In July, 1968, Pope Paul VI promulgated Humanae Vitae in which he observed that “a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.” In this book, Paul Murano demonstrates through a dialogue between two friends, spanning the 60-year period between the close of Vatican II and the present day, how the Pope’s observation proved to be prophetic and how the catalyst of contraceptive technologies has led to the descent of human civilization into an age of insanity.

Paperback $14.95 | Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“What would our current culture look like to a very ordinary believing Catholic who was cryogenically frozen in 1965 and awakened in 1999? And what would we in 2024 look like to someone in 1999? Paul Murano’s highly imaginative and shockingly realistic answers are, respectively, ‘a culture of death’ and ‘an insane asylum.’ This book is both a delightful thought experiment and a deeply disturbing challenge. It reminds me very much of Hans Christian Anderson’s famous fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes.” — Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy, Boston College

“In a very compelling style, Paul Murano reignites the reality of a warning another Paul, Fr Paul Marx OSB, issued decades earlier. Our modern civilization has been on the path of moral implosion, and we would all do well to take to heart and seriously reflect upon not just the implications of what Murano has written, but the reality of where we are and how it all began.” Fr Stephen Imbarrato, LifeMinistriesUS, Masters of Bioethics

“This dialogue between friends spans the generations between the rise of the contraceptive mentality and the present day and explains the rapid slide into the current state of our social degradation where the promise of Lake Wobegon gets turned on its head and the men are not beautiful, the women are not strong, and the children are not all above average.” —Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A life-long truth seeker, Paul Murano hosts the Beneath the Surface podcast, has taught philosophy and theology at colleges and universities, has led adult catechesis and pro-life groups, and writes for various publications. He holds two Master of Arts degrees (one in philosophy from Boston College, the other in theology from Providence College) and a bioethics certification from National Catholic Bioethics Center. Paul will be awarded a Ph.D.  in Philosophy from the University of South Africa in March, 2024, following his post-graduate work at Duquesne University.

by Grace Bourget

A kingdom living in the shadow of a five-hundred year curse.

A people banished for protecting their home against it.

Seven stars gliding westward.

One ancient city has already fallen to the sea.  The only hope to save Celae and her people lies in the sky overhead; in the star on one girl’s brow; and a haunting voice calling her over the sea.  Only her worst nightmares could prepare her for what lurked in the ancient mist.

“For only the broken souls may shine with starlight.”

Paperback $14.95 | Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

Ad Maré is a tale of realized hopes and deep-set fears. Ultimately, the final question is to jump or not to jump while wondering whether someone will need to catch you or if you can trust your wings to let you fly.” – Thérèse Judeana, author of the Ransom: Shadow of an Empire series

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Grace is an aspiring fashion designer with a loving family and a crazy cat named Kitten Kaboodle.  She loves the Latin Mass, spending time with family and friends, and bringing fantasy to life through her hobbies, including co-producing with Chantal LaFortune of The Song of Elbereth.  If she could tell you one thing, she’d ask you to make God smile.

The Guilty: A Man is Stabbed to Death and a Community Examines its Conscience

The Guilty: A Man is Stabbed to Death and a Community Examines its Conscience

This book revolves round a fatal stabbing but is not about the three dagger thrusts that killed a man. It is a whodunnit of another kind–a social and psychological sleuthing that may well take our readers to the confessional. An introspective reading into the makings of personal and collective guilt, The Guilty is a metaphor concerning our voluntary mutism in the face of injustice, our silence as an unspoken lie.

Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle: $9.99

Things Beloved: Two Short Novels

Things Beloved: Two Short Novels

Things Beloved: Two Short Novels

by Glenn Morrow

The Better Boat

Wandering the coast, 12-year-old Anthony comes upon a man kicking a sailboat. The derelict boat is stranded high on the shore, so the man sells it to Anthony for a dollar. In an idyllic Rhode Island summer, Anthony falls in love with sailing and gradually learns how to do it. He mostly learns by making mistakes, many of which are pointed out by Teresa, his know-it-all cousin visiting from the landlocked Midwest. Aurora, the dollar boat, turns out to have an astonishing and emotionally complex history, one that chronicles loves and losses far greater than that of a boy for his beloved sailboat.

The Observatory

The impending sell-off of an obsolete telescope gathers five middle-aged friends back at their college’s astronomical observatory. Trespassing, they gaze at the moon through the lenses and argue about whether Pluto is a planet until their nostalgia is interrupted by a stranger outside the dome. They discover that the dome and its telescope have already been sold to this shadowy financier. His intention is to bulldoze the entire site. But he offers the former astronomy students a diabolical deal to save it.

Paperback $14.95 | Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“What do an obsolete observatory and a rudderless sailboat have in common? Or a handful of middle-aged university alumni with an eager twelve-year-old boy? Both of the objects face demolition; both are beloved. The former undergraduates remain awed by their old discoveries under the observatory dome; young Anthony, his heart racing, is spellbound by the wonders of his boat. Consummate story-teller Glenn Morrow roots his characters in compassion and spikes his words with grace and wit. This is a book for those of us who hunger for stories that celebrate our innate generosity and goodness, while we greedily turn the pages. Two stories, one slim book for everyone’s bedside table.” – Sally Ryder Brady, author of A Box of Darkness: The Story of a Marriage

“If you want tales that intrigue, surprise, amuse, and move you, look no further than Things Beloved. Morrow’s work brings you close to real people in extraordinary situations facing challenging moral choices. He writes with engaging skill and resonant empathy.” – R.C. Binstock, author of What You Can’t Give Me and Tree of Heaven

“The heart and the intellect dance an intimate tango of wit and wisdom in Glenn Morrow’s stories that allow us the hope of personal and communal justice and redemption in the ordinary and extraordinary circumstances of life.” – Kiki Latimer, author of Seeing God’s Face and co-author of Philosophy Begins in Wonder

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Crafting prose has always been Glenn Morrow’s delight and his occupation. He is a lifelong creator of imaginative fiction. He believes that good fiction is a gift that offers hope and clarity.  He has worked as a teacher, advocacy journalist, editor of Storytelling Magazine, and technical writer. His license plate is TYPO, a wry reminder that we make it better, never perfect. He watches sailboats and stars in coastal Rhode Island with his wife Deborah and two ginger cats.

Very few people would tell those stories with the reliable authority and authenticity of this talented son of the soil, who has done it with all the strength of his humour and literary prowess.

TESTIMONIALS

“What a great piece of work! It places the education and information of the reader as the priority of its entertainment with such professional expertise that makes one to learn and to laugh at the same time. The author himself is a legend, not only in storytelling and literary prowess, but in many other aspects. This is a story book, not only for the people of Nkar, but for the world at large.” — Fr. Jude F. Nkwawir, a son of Nkar

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Eugen Nkardzedze, PhD, is a Cameroonian priest from Nkar Village in the Diocese of Kumbo, but presently serving as fidei donum in the Diocese of Beaumont in Southeastern Texas. He is also author of The Spirituality of Humor and Laughter: Why Good Things Happen to Bad People, and his recent bestseller Keep the Basket away from the Casket: Seven Indictments against the Collection of Mass Offerings in Church.
