Communism and the Conscience of...

Fulton J. Sheen

For decades, this book has been recognized as the finest book ever written by a Catholic on the subject of communism. Dedicated to Our Lady in prayerful hope for the conversion of Russia, this is one of Fulton Sheen’s most forgotten yet most important books. In Communism and the Conscience of the West, Sheen explains the problems with society stemming from socialism and communism, which continue to infect universities and political discourse today. This timeless book exposes communism’s defects, its attitude toward the family, the decline of historical liberalism, and the rise of the antireligious spirit that pervades our world.  
Readers will be impressed as Sheen diagnoses the issues facing our once peaceful cities, with history being put on trial, scrubbed, rewritten, and explained in terms of class hate. While communism destroys human freedom, Sheen illustrates how man is free as a result of two guarantees: one economic and the other spiritual. The economic enables man to call something his own which is outside of himself. The spiritual is the soul, which makes man independent of an earthly tyrant or a political dictator. In short, man’s soul is his own on the inside, as his property is his own on the outside.  
Sheen carefully illustrates how even though we are living at a time when man has all the material conditions necessary for his happiness, “having lost the purpose of life which religion supplied, modern man became increasingly frustrated as his disappointed hedonism turned to pessimism. Thus man, who isolated himself from the religious community, now by reaction finds himself absorbed by the political community as despair becomes the dominant note of contemporary philosophy and literature.” For anyone seeking to understand one of the greatest threats to the Faith and our world, Communism and the Conscience of the West will be your guide.

Toua Lee

Amidst the turmoil of the Secret War in Laos, Toua, a young Hmong boy of just ten years finds himself torn from the embrace of his family, catapulted into a world far beyond the innocence of childhood. This memoir unfolds the harrowing and inspirational journey of resilience and survival against the backdrop of a conflict that most weren’t aware of, where the Hmong people stood alongside Americans in the shadows of the Vietnam War.
Hidden within the unforgiving jungle's embrace, the boy finds solace and an unexpected sense of belonging among the Hmong Freedom Fighters. Together, they navigate the perilous terrain of warfare, where each day brings with it the heavy burden of survival and the haunting question of morality in the face of relentless danger. Despite the camaraderie and purpose he finds, the boy is plagued by an unyielding yearning for his family and a sense of displacement, his soul marred by the trials of war and the difficult tasks demanded of him.
At his lowest, contemplating the escape of death over the pain of existence, a glimmer of unwavering hope and the dream of family reunion guides him through the darkness. The North Star, known as the Bright Star to the Hmong, a beacon amidst the chaos, becomes his guide, steering him through his treacherous journey towards refuge, and ultimately, to the shores of America.
