The Story of the Philippines God's Rampart in Asia by Phillip Campbell "Filipinos are defined by their faith in God and by their resiliency in face of hardships and dangers....[The Story of the Philippines] does an excellent job covering the main events and important information associated with the history and story of the Filipino people. The use of anecdotal narratives is quite effective in assisting with visualization. Interweaving the story of Christianity/Catholicism and faith, embedded in Filipino history and culture is also a strength." —Rev. Allain B. Caparas

Masaru by Michael T. Cibenko “In a manner reminiscent of Clavell’s Shogun, Masaru transports the reader to medieval Japan with realism that delights the senses, offering up a blend of history, philosophy and adventure. Based on events little known to those in the West, Masaru artfully presents the faith with a compelling synthesis of action and dialog. Calling upon his own heritage and experiences living in Japan, the author brings to life with vivid textures the characters and settings of the tale. Timeless truths of the faith are presented with fidelity, yet in a manner that is both refreshing and provocative. This is a must-read for anyone who appreciates Japanese culture, lovers of history and philosophy, or those who simply enjoy an exceptionally well-told story." —Jeffrey Bond, PhD

I Am a Christian Authentic Accounts of Christian Martyrdom and Persecution from the Ancient Sources by Anthony P. Schiavo, Jr. “The works collected in this book represent some of the most trustworthy first-hand accounts of the triumphs and travails of the early Church that have survived antiquity. These include several authentic transcripts of Roman legal proceedings against Christians, along with obscure but fascinating historical works that are unfamiliar to even the most informed Christians of today. In several cases, readers will be presented with the actual words of the martyrs themselves. In others, they will read accounts penned by eye-witnesses or authors writing within the living memory of the events themselves. Taken together, these works form a glorious record of early Christian zeal and fortitude in the face of aggressive state persecution. More... |

Three Years Behind the Guns The True Chronicles of a "Diddy Box" by John B. Tisdale “"Many of my friends and I have read [Three Years Behind the Guns] with the greatest interest. I can vouch for many of the facts; and the description of the Battle of Manila Bay is one of the best I have ever seen published. The type and active life of our American seamen is well and interestingly portrayed, and the book is well worth the attention of both young and old." —Admiral George Dewey
"The hero of this chronicle ran away from his comfortable home in San Francisco and enlisted just in time to cross the Pacific Ocean on the Olympia and share in the Battle of Manila Bay, on the flagship with Dewey. Day by day he sets down the happenings, observations, and feelings of the lad who finds himself part of the machinery of an American battleship first, and later an actor in one of the most dramatic battles of history. He was an observing fellow, always in the midst of things; and his observations are shrewd and keen and worth the reading." —The New York Observer

Belisarius Book III: Rome the Eternal by Paolo A. Belzoni "A rollercoaster of a story, we learn how Belisaurius's very soul is tested when he is confronted with one of the great moral dilemmas of his age – conflict within the Church and the deposition of a Pope. This is an engaging story that puts the reader deep into the historical setting but with echoes that resound to our modern day. Whether you pick up this book for yourself or to hand to your teen, you won't be disappointed." —Maureen Wittmann, Homeschool Connections

But the ambitious emperor Justinian has more glorious exploits planned for his audacious Master of Soldiers. The emperor can not rest until Italy and the Eternal City of Rome are restored to his empire. But it is not mere flesh and blood that oppose Belisarius in his Italian campaign.

Belisarius Book II: Glory of the Romans by Paolo A. Belzoni “With Belisarius II, Paolo Belzoni continues to demonstrate his incomparable mastery of all the historic resources for the life of our hero, as well as an informed imagination to sustain a storyline that cannot be forgotten or much improved. I enjoyed the second volume as much as or even more than the first. Now, for number three! ” —Right Rev. Constantine-Paul Michael Belisarius
His tremendous victory over the Persians at the Battle of Daras wins Belisarius the adulation of a victory-starved empire but also the envy of his peers in Constantinople. The emperor Justinian now tasks his young general with an even more difficult assignment: a campaign against the powerful Vandal kingdom. But before Belisarius can set out on this seemingly impossible mission, he must prove his loyalty amid the ruins of a capital shattered by riot and rebellion. More... |

In that respect, it is a true story.” —Sister Magdalene of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, OCD
