  Clare of Assisi: A Woman of Light, Grit, and Faith
  For centuries, Clare of Assisi has been known primarily as the devoted companion of Saint Francis. But Clare was far more than just a follower—she was a bold and visionary woman who chose a life of radical faith, sacrificing wealth, comfort, and status to embrace a calling unlike any other.
  In Clare of Assisi, acclaimed author Wendy Murray brings this extraordinary medieval saint to life, uncovering the depth of her courage, perseverance, and spiritual conviction. Abandoning a noble birthright for a life of poverty, Clare endured hardships that could have sent her running back to the safety of her family's wealth. But she remained steadfast, even after Francis's death, forging her own spiritual path and leaving a legacy that continues to shine.
  This book speaks to anyone seeking strength in the face of trials, longing for purpose beyond societal expectations, or looking for an example of unwavering faith in difficult times. Clare's story is not just history—it is an inspiration for today's world.
  Discover the light of Clare—her struggles, her triumphs, and her legacy of faith that still calls to us today.

  Understanding the Hillbilly...

  Flannery O’Connor is one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Her novels and short stories—shockingly violent, absurdly comic, spiritually potent—continue to entertain, beguile, and transform readers of all backgrounds to this day.  For many encountering them for the first time, O’Connor’s stories of backwoods prophets and outcasts feel strangely nihilistic and dark. Others familiar with her letters and essays appreciate the deep Catholic understanding of sin and grace that animates them. In this new book, Fr. Damian Ference proposes a more precise lens for decoding Flannery O’Connor’s narrative art, one that originates in O’Connor’s own words about herself: Hillbilly Thomism. The author examines the various ways in which St. Thomas Aquinas and the philosophical tradition of Thomism shaped not only O’Connor’s view of reality but also the stories she told to help us see and know it.    Featuring an impressive array of biographical and literary evidence and extended analysis of her short stories “The River,” “Parker’s Back,” and “The Displaced Person,” Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist is an important look at the intersection of medieval philosophy and modern fiction in one of the most treasured artists of the American South.
