Standing in opposition to relativism, this book presents the wisdom of Aquinas, John Paul II, and traditional Catholic philosophy without becoming mere historicism. It offers a synthesis of complex intellectual traditions in a way that is both timely and relevant, giving clarity by integrating traditional ideas to a worldview for the modern age.

Remembering Freedom is designed to be both engaging and practical, articulating abstract concepts through real-life stories from marriage, military deployments, and more to show how "abstract" things look in the real world. If you are looking to enter into discussions, or if you find yourself wondering how on earth we got to the point we are at now, Remembering Freedom is the book for you.

Stories normalize skilled trades, build respect for hands-on work, and expand what careers feel truly possible.

In the Jazz Age a woman's best defense was a good, hard slap... or was it? . The women of Kaplan Talking Pictures are about to discover that sometimes a slap is not enough. Sometimes murder is required.

Gracie Perkins and six other stenographers at Kaplan Talking Pictures know the film company's most popular star has been murdered, something the moviegoing public will never know. The studio will tell the district attorney what to believe, and the district attorney will tell the LAPD and the newspapers what to believe. That's the way it works. As the official story about the "unexpected" death comes out, the seven women don't know if the studio has any idea what really happened, they only know they have to protect one of their own. They have a plan. But plans have a way of unraveling.

The plan is simple, and it seems to be working at first because Gracie can lie as believably as the studio's publicity department. She hasn't been honest about anything for a long time—she can't be if she wants to keep her pals in the steno pool. They're the only friends she has in this hard-luck life. She knows from experience that the truth can get you into a world of trouble. But Gracie's talent for deception doesn't fly with Detective Nick Zingarelli, who not only gets the real story out of the conflicted Miss Perkins, but eventually opens her eyes to the truth about love.

"A Good, Hard Slap" dives deep into the complicated relationships among the women of Kaplan Talking Pictures as they navigate the stormy seas of their hidden pasts and thwarted ambitions.
