Paperback. Zustand: Good. Mentioned by Pope Francis as a writer whom everyone should read, Robert Hugh Benson, author of Lord of the World, shares his spiritual journey from being an Anglican and son of the archbishop of Canterbury to becoming a Roman Catholic priest. Through his humble, honest, and memorable story, Benson invites us--in this republished classic--to think about what it means to wrestle with the deep questions of our Catholic faith while rejoicing in the power of their universal truths. In 1907, The Ave Maria magazine invited well-known English novelist Robert Hugh Benson to share his conversion story. He began the first of eight installments with a statement that captures the perils and joys faced by converts as they attempt to "cross the Tiber." "When one stands at last upon high ground, it is extraordinarily difficult to trace the road by which one has approached: it winds, rises, falls, broadens and narrows until the mind is bewildered." Benson weaves those challenges into Confessions of a Convert as he examines his own life for the signs and wonders that illuminated his way. He was astonished at how the remote God of his Anglican upbringing drew close to him, igniting a fire in his to heart and a desire to know God on a deeper level. This transformation led him to the doorstep of the Catholic Church. Reluctant to venture further because he was known as an important figure in the Anglican world, Benson grappled with the sacrifices he would make, including the loss of his vocation, family, and friends. After the death of his father, Benson finally embraced the nearness of God found in the Eucharist. He shows us that coming closer to Christ and his Church is not always neat and tidy. Benson's humor and humility help bridge the century-long gap between his time and ours and he teaches us to embrace the questions, struggles, and falterings of our faith in a way that's full of God's love.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Few novels are praised by three popes--yet Lord of the World has been recommended by Leo XIV, Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis for its hauntingly prophetic vision. More than a century after its 1907 publication, Robert Hugh Benson's dystopian masterpiece speaks with startling relevance to our secular age. Written by the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury--whose conversion to Catholicism shocked England--this groundbreaking novel imagines a future in which faith has all but vanished, replaced by a seductive global humanism. As a charismatic leader, Julian Felsenburgh, rises to power promising unity and peace, the last remnants of the Church face mounting persecution. Standing firm is Fr. Percy Franklin, whose courage and clarity set the stage for an unforgettable, apocalyptic confrontation. Long before The Hunger Games, Divergent, Love in the Ruins, or The Road, Benson imagined a world just as dark and compelling--one that combines vivid storytelling with striking theological insight. This edition offers fresh context for contemporary readers, including an introduction by Rev. Mark Bosco, SJ, a concise biography of Benson by Martyn Sampson, and a theological reflection by Rev. Michael Murphy, SJ. Whether you're discovering Lord of the World for the first time or returning to its chilling pages, this edition illuminates why it continues to resonate--and why it matters now more than ever.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. It is at once the privilege and the burden of Catholics that they know so much of Jesus Christ. It is their privilege, since an intelligent knowledge of the Person and the attributes and the achievements of Incarnate God is an infinitely greater wisdom than all the rest of the sciences put together. To have a knowledge of the Creator is incalculably a more noble thing than to have a knowledge of His Creation. Yet it is a burden as well; for the splendour of this knowledge may be so great as to blind us to the value of its details. The blaze of the Divinity to him who sees it may be so bright as to bewilder him with regard to the humanity. The unity of the wood vanishes in the perfection of the trees. Catholics then, above all others, are prone -- through their very knowledge of the mysteries of faith, through their very apprehension of Jesus Christ as their God, their High Priest, their Victim, their Prophet and their King -- to forget that His delights are to be with the sons of men more than to rule the Seraphim, that, while His Majesty held Him on the throne of His Father, His Love brought Him down on pilgrimage that He might transform His servants into His friends.…
