 | 7 Myths of Working Mothers Why Children and (Most) Careers Just Don't Mix Dispelling our most cherished myths about working mothers, Suzanne Venker argues that women can never be successful in the workplace and at home simultaneously. Women can achieve the balance they so desperately seek only by planning their careers around motherhood, rather than planning motherhood around their careers. |
||
 | All Shook Up Music, Passion, and Politics In the fifteen years since Tipper Gore and Frank Zappa feuded over raunchy lyrics, a furious but confused debate has raged over popular music’s effect on character. In a book that shatters the assumptions of pop music’s critics and defenders alike, Carson Holloway shows that music is both more dangerous and more beneficial than we think. |

.jpg) | American Myth of Religious Freedom, The Only $10 in hardcover. There's no such thing as true religious freedom under the American Constitution, argues Kenneth Craycraft. In a liberal regime, "toleration" never puts religion and irreligion on an equal footing. The Enlightenment political theory underlying the First Amendment unavoidably subordinates religion to politics, Dr. Craycraft argues. The framers' purpose, then, was not to protect religion but to make it a tool of the regime. |

 | Arts of Darkness American Noir and the Quest for Redemption Often denounced as nihilistic and even degenerate, film noir seems an unlikely antidote to the despair of contemporary popular culture. But at the heart of these dark films is a spiritual quest that is profoundly hopeful. In a fascinating re-evaluation of “American noir,” Thomas Hibbs argues that these powerful tales of sin and redemption embody religious themes that are essential for cultural renewal. |
||
 | Benedict XVI The Man Who Was Ratzinger Though the election to the papacy of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger stunned the world, very few expressed doubt about the direction in which the allegedly authoritarian pope would lead the Catholic Church. Yet Benedict XVI is likely to surprise those expecting uncritical adherence to the policies of John Paul II, according to a new biography by Michael Rose, author of the bestselling Goodbye, Good Men. The first biographer seriously to probe Benedict’s vast intellectual record, Rose sheds penetrating new light on the man who was Ratzinger. |

 | Branches to Heaven The Geniuses of C.S. Lewis One of the twentieth century's most widely read writers and its most influential Christian apologist, C. S. Lewis has nevertheless eluded the understanding of the numerous scholars who have approached him only as a religious thinker and man of letters.

||

||
 | Church Impotent, The The Feminization of Christianity The current preoccupation with the role of women in the church obscures the more serious problem of the perennial absence of men. This provocative book argues that Western churches have become "women's clubs," that the emasculation of Christianity is dangerous for the church and society, and that a masculine presence can and must be restored...the only book to confront the lopsidedly feminine cast of modern Christianity with a profound analysis of its historical and sociological roots. |
||
 | Domestic Tranquility A Brief Against Feminism The principal target of feminist fire in the on-going "gender wars" is not men but traditional wives and mothers—so says a lawyer-turned-housewife in a powerful critique of contemporary feminism. With a profound understanding of the quandary of modern women, Carolyn Graglia shows that the cultural assault on marriage, motherhood, and traditional sexuality...has robbed women of their surest source of fulfillment. |
||
 | End of Democracy?, The (Hardcover) The Judicial Usurpation of Politics American conservatism's most ferocious internecine controversy in years erupted when the journal First Things published a symposium on "the judicial usurpation of politics," boldly raising the question "whether we have reached or are reaching the point where conscientious citizens can no longer give moral assent to the existing regime." This volume collects the original symposium and the most important responses... |
||
 | Faith of the Fatherless The Psychology of Atheism Despite its pretensions to cool-headed rationality, modern atheism originated in the irrational, psychological needs of a few thinkers. Subjecting the apostles of atheism to the same analysis with which they attempted to debunk religious belief, Paul C. Vitz uncovers the psychological source of their militant atheism. |
||
 | Feminist Fantasies No assault has been more ferocious than feminism’s forty-year war against women. And no battlefield leader has been more courageous than Phyllis Schlafly. In these dispatches from the front, feminism’s most potent foe exposes the delusions and hypocrisy behind a movement that has cheated millions of women out of their happiness, health, and security. |
||
.jpg) | Forced Labor What's Wrong with Balancing Work and Family The last thing parents should do is try to “balance” work and family. Confronting the overwhelming evidence that children suffer when their mothers leave them for the workplace, Brian Robertson asks why it has nevertheless become the norm for mothers to work. The answer, Robertson reveals, is a transformation in the way we think about work itself. |
||
 | Goddess Unmasked The Rise of Neopagan Feminist Spirituality Goddess Unmasked provides the first critical evaluation by a qualified scholar of the theological, anthropological, and historical claims of the "Goddess" movement, the most influential form of radical feminist spirituality. |
||

 | If It Ain't Got That Swing The Rebirth of Grown-Up Culture In a world dominated by teenagers, it is easy to forget that popular culture once catered to adults.

||
 | Long Truce, The How Toleration Made the World Safe for Power and Profit The political dogma of toleration is little more than a tool of the modern state in its drive for power and wealth. In The Long Truce, a distinguished theologian shows that by banishing questions of ultimate meaning from public life, the modern version of toleration has debased our politics and undermined social cohesion. He argues provocatively for a return to the authentic toleration found in pre-Reformation Christianity. |
||

 | Monsters from the Id The Rise of Horror in Fiction and Film Tales of horror, so popular in modern literature and film, originated in the sexual decadence unleashed by the French Revolution.

||
.jpg) | Natural Family, The A Manifesto Sixty years ago, the UN declared the family the “natural and fundamental” unit of society. Today no one knows what “family” means. In response to this unprecedented confusion, The Natural Family: A Manifesto defines the family based on universal human experience. Insisting, without apology, on the reality of the “natural family,” the manifesto issues a personal call to men and women to rediscover this fundamental source of life, joy, and freedom. |

||
 | Right Darwin?, The Evolution, Religion, and the Future of Democracy The common assumption that Darwinism and conservatism are mutually inconsistent is now fiercely debated on the right. A number of conservative thinkers argue that evolutionary biology can replace religion as the source of morality while scientifically confirming conservative public policy. Illuminating this crucial but confusing debate, Carson Holloway explains why Darwinian conservatism is both illusory and dangerous. |
||
 | Righteous Gentiles How Pius XII and the Catholic Church Saved Half a Million Jews from the Nazis A relentless band of propagandists has convinced much of the world that Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church, in the face of the great moral crisis of the twentieth century, were little more than Nazi lapdogs. The myth of “Hitler’s pope,” however, is grounded not in the facts of history but in the ideological agenda of Pius’s detractors. Given unprecedented access to Church archives, Ronald J. Rychlak documents the heroic response of the Holy Father and countless other Catholics to the plight of Jews under Nazi rule. |
||

||

||

 | Under God George Washington and the Question of Church and State No American living in 1800 would have predicted that Thomas Jefferson’s idiosyncratic views on church and state would eclipse those of George Washington—let alone become constitutional dogma. Yet today’s Supreme Court guards no doctrine more fiercely than |
