January Book Pick


Are you or someone you know struggling to understand the Catholic faith? Have you contemplated leaving or know someone who has left the Church?

Many young people have left the Catholic Church in search of fulfillment and satisfaction elsewhere and most of the time, for good reason. From bad Mass experiences, to inadequate answers to good questions, to a hypocritical hierarchy, Mallory Smyth doesn't blame them. In fact, she was one of them. Years ago, Mallory had one foot out of the Catholic Church. Her life had been completely transformed by Jesus but it was done in another denomination. It was only when she started doing her own research that she fell deeply in love with the Catholic faith.

If you are a millennial reading this book, you'll find honest encounters in the Catholic Church as a millennial. You'll laugh at quirks, lament at failures, and revisit this beautiful faith in which Jesus Christ started to move closer to your heart. For anyone who has left or is close to leaving the faith, Rekindled just might illuminate a path back home—to a Church that is both holy and in need of perfection.

Living Easter: 50 Days to Practice Resurrection Hardcover – March 6, 2026

by Laura Kelly Fanucci


Living Easter will help you fulfill the vision of St. John Paul II, who said, “We are an Easter people, and Alleluia is our song!”

As the most significant season of the Church year, Easter deserves to be lived well and celebrated fully, and few voices speak more compellingly about Christian joy than Laura Kelly Fanucci, celebrated author and creator of The Holy Labor newsletter and the Mothering Spirit platform. “Living Easter celebrates joy itself as our Resurrection practice,” Fanucci writes. “Taking up joy as a daily discipline teaches us about feasting as a companion practice to fasting: an intentional sacred act that draws us closer to God."

Friendship in the Lord: A Spiritual Classic
by Paul Hinnebusch OP (Author), Sr. Miriam James Heidland SOLT (Afterword), Fr. John Burns (Foreword) 

  

“This book is a friendship telling its story. It is friends telling together their experience of friendship in the Lord.”

Friendship isn’t just a longing―it’s a holy calling. We are made for deep, life-giving connection. Yet in a world overwhelmed by digital noise and surface-level interaction, many of us feel more isolated than ever. Friendship in the Lord offers a timeless, grace-filled response to that ache.

Originally published in 1974 and beloved by Catholics for decades, this spiritual classic by Dominican priest Fr. Paul Hinnebusch has been reprinted for a new generation―one that longs for meaningful connection but often doesn’t know where to begin. Blending theological depth with heartfelt personal reflection, this book is a moving testament to the real-life beauty of friendship rooted in Christ.

With the wisdom of a teacher, the soul of a mystic, and the voice of a friend, Fr. Hinnebusch reveals how authentic friendship―when founded in the love of Christ―is a pathway to holiness and healing.
