Our Fathers
The Secret Life of the Catholic Church in an Age of Scandal
When, in early 2002, a team of Boston Globe reporters broke open the pedophilia scandal around Father John J. Geoghan—and then Paul Shanley, Joseph Birmingham, and hundreds of other priests in Boston and across the country—the entire American Catholic Church spun into crisis. But by that time, the damage was already done. Perhaps a hundred thousand children had already fallen into traps laid by their priests. Every Catholic in the country – and everyone who had ever set foot in a church—faced troubling questions: Why had this happened? How could the secrets of this abuse have been so widely held, and so closely protected? How could the church have let it happen?

A Travel Guide To Heaven
If heaven’s so great, why aren’t most of us more excited about getting there?
A recent Newsweek poll reports that 76 percent of Americans believe in heaven. Yet even avid believers have difficulty conjuring up more than vague images of halos, harps, and wispy angels in flowing robes. Anthony DeStefano?Create knew there had to be a more complete, meaningful vision of what heaven is like, and A TRAVEL GUIDE TO HEAVEN is the entertaining and enlightening result.
Using the Bible as his guide, along with an extraordinary sense of logic, fun, and adventure, DeStefano?Create set out to look for clues about the place called heaven: what will it look like? What will we look like? What will there be for us to do? Will we have pets? He learned that this highly spiritual place is actually very physical.
In fact, heaven can be best compared to a five-star luxury resort, more exquisite than a Hawaiian sunset, more thrilling than Alpine skiing, more fun than a wicked game of tennis, and more riveting than the best novel. After all, it was created by the One who created everything!
A TRAVEL GUIDE TO HEAVEN provides a delicious preview of a place bursting with beauty, excitement, challenges, fun, and perfect delight. Forever.
