Book Description
Let the reader be warned: this tale will challenge even the most sophisticated with its dazzling mix of priests, brothers, nuns, students, church workers, parishioners, city luminaries and, yes, a dog named Duke. From the very first pages, readers will be thrown into a debate underlying the wonderful absurdity of Coutinho's premise, for his novel fabulously purports to be the tale of a dog who desires to become a priest; or at least learn Latin. Originally published in Brazil in 1998, the story of Duke is a contemporary masterwork.

Book Description
Angelico Press is pleased to publish this highly personal one-of-a-kind manuscript from the hand of a literary giant. Left unpublished at the time of the author's death more than 20 years ago, this work was known only to a few until recently. A Priest and His Dog The Tale of Tati is a rare jewel, and a testament, not only to Fr. Malachi Martin's genius as a storyteller, but above all to his eminence as a sacerdotal servant of Christ. Not intended for readers imbued with "worldly wisdom," it calls for the openness of a child before the mysteries of God. We may take it that the author looked upon his little Cairn terrier not indeed as an "animal" in the usual sense but simply as a "creature of God." This "pet" story breaks new ground, for charming and touching as it is, its true message is spiritual, having to do with the mystery of the animal soul and the possibility of its participation in that supreme blessedness termed "life eternal." The great question is whether that summum bonum is attainable for the likes of Tati, as our hearts would wish. While not declaring himself on this issue in explicitly metaphysical or theological terms, it appears that Malachi Martin is in fact weighing in heavily on this long-disputed conundrum: on the side, that is, of his canine friend.

Book Description
A Universal Question, thoughtfully answered! What do you think: Will we see our dogs and cats in the hereafter? Does God's plan for eternity include the created nonhuman world? Franciscan friar and popular writer Father Jack Wintz brings a love for all creation and infectious enthusiasm to the serious task of exploring answers to these long-asked questions, In Will I See My Dog in Heaven? Father Jack admits that no one really knows what God has in mind for us in the next life. But in ten thoughtful chapters, he lines up evidence from the Scriptures, Christian tradition and liturgy, and the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, that God desires all creatures (yes, including our beloved pets!) in the afterlife.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "[A] scorching treatise on toxic masculinity. Joseph’s critiques of “the patriarchy... both overt and ingrained” are razor-sharp, but it’s the clear-eyed reckoning of his own place within it that tethers the soul of his book." —Publishers Weekly "Joseph has learned a great deal from bell hooks here, and I think she would be proud because Patriarchy Blues is such a moving, inspiring, rigorous vision for living.” —Robert Jones, Jr., New York Times bestselling author of The Prophets In this personal and poignant collection, the author of the New York Times bestseller The Black Friend examines the culture of masculinity through the lens of a Black man. What does it mean to be a man today? How does the pervasive yet elusive idea of “toxic masculinity” actually reflect men’s experiences—particularly those of color—and how they navigate the world? In this thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and short reflections, Frederick Joseph contemplates these questions and more as he explores issues of masculinity and patriarchy from both a personal and cultural standpoint. From fatherhood, and “manning up” to abuse and therapy, he fearlessly and thoughtfully tackles the complex realities of men’s lives today and their significance for society, lending his insights as a Black man. Written in Joseph’s unique voice, with an intelligence and raw honesty that demonstrates both his vulnerability and compassion, Patriarchy Blues forces us to consider the joys, pains, and destructive nature of manhood and the stereotypes it engenders.
