This is the story of a 14th Century Norwegian woman, from early childhood through marriage and old age. Through this remarkable character and her family we see the age, with the details of everyday life and its political turmoil.
We see in every area the significance of the Church and Christian faith. (Undset was a convert to Catholicism.) Kristin is by no means of a saint, but her passions and flaws illuminate human nature.

Come Rope! by Robert Hugh Benson (1871–1914) - suggested by tradcathmom7

Set in Derbyshire at the time of the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics, when being or harbouring a priest was considered treason and was punishable with death, it tells the story of two young lovers who give up their chance of happiness together, choosing instead to face imprisonment and martyrdom, so that "God's will" may be done. It is perhaps the best known of Benson's novels, and has been reprinted several times. A new edition, abridged by Philip Caraman, was published in 1956. Another version, abridged by Christopher Busby, was published in 1959.

This novel tells of the struggles and sufferings of Catholic Recusants under Queen Elizabeth I of England. One such Recusant, Robin Audrey, is shocked to learn his father has decided to leave the Catholic Church for the safety of the Church of England.

A Soldier Surrenders by Susan Peek
The Conversion of St. Camillus
This is the story of the dramatic conversion and inspiring life of the soldier Camillus de Lellis who lived in the late 1500’s, and became the founder of the religious order known then as “Ministers of the Sick”, and now called the “Hospitallers”. His story is one that is filled with drama: military battles, sickness and disease, conversion to God, and great charity for countless suffering people.

It is filled with lots of Catholic symbolism and mysticism, romance, andventure, and just plain fun.

The story has a delightful, surprise ending.

It is available for the Kindle, iPhone, iPad, and other devices that can read the Kindle format from amazon.com. Go to the Kindle store and search for the title of the author's full name (there's more than one Robertson if you just search on the last name). The book is about 400 pages long, so it will keep you entertained for a while.

The story is definitely for grown-ups or well-formed teens. Cradle Catholics and converts will have no problem understanding it, though it does contain a wee bit of Latin.

For $0.99, you can't go wrong!

P.S. Lot's of folks have asked me about my username. Roonwit was the name of the centaur who was Prince Caspian's tutor. He never made it into the films, but if you've read the "Chronicles of Narnia", you've encountered Roonwit before.]]>

new novel by the author of Fatherless (Catholic Summer Reading 2010)

"Brian J. Gail has written another heart pounding, page turner of a novel for Catholics who are straining to hear their Church's voice in what Pope John Paul II called "the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, the Gospel and the anti-Gospel." Motherless takes the reader on a riveting behind-the-scenes journey around the globe to the boardrooms and laboratories where the architects of The Life Sciences Revolution are preparing Mankind's Final Solution... and into the confessionals and chanceries where the Church's response is being challenged.

Father John Sweeney, pastor of a small Catholic parish on Philadelphia's storied Main Line, is drawn into an apocalyptic vortex through the lives of parishioners Maggie Kealey, Michael Burns and Joe Delgado. Without warning they are ushered through the back door of the Revolution where they discover human embryos being created in laboratories and frozen in cryogenic freezers for a global black market. It is, however, when the Revolution's ultimate destination is revealed to one of the three that Fr. Sweeney is faced with his greatest test as a pastor - guiding a soul to the Christian accountability to truth even in the face of potentially deadly consequences."

"Michael O'Brien presents a thrilling apocalyptic novel about the condition of the Roman Catholic Church at the end of time. It explores the state of the modern world, and the strengths and weaknesses of the contemporary religious scene, by taking his central character, Father Elijah Schäfer, a Carmelite priest, on a secret mission for the Vatican which embroils him in a series of crises and subterfuges affecting the ultimate destiny of the Church.

Father Elijah is a convert from Judaism, a survivor of the Holocaust, a man once powerful in Israel. For twenty years he has been "buried in the dark night of Carmel" on the mountain of the prophet Elijah. The Pope and the Cardinal Secretary of State call him out of obscurity and give him a task of the highest sensitivity: to penetrate into the inner circles of a man whom they believe may be the Antichrist. Their purpose: to call the Man of Sin to repentance, and thus to postpone the great tribulation long enough to preach the Gospel to the whole world.

In this richly textured tale, Father Elijah crosses Europe and the Middle East, moves through the echelons of world power, meets saints and sinners, presidents, judges, mystics, embattled Catholic journalists, faithful priests and a conspiracy of traitors within the very House of God. This is an apocalypse in the old literary sense, but one that was written in the light of Christian revelation."
