Book Description
Father Andrew skillfully explains how human knowledge works, the relation between faith and reason, and how the Holy Spirit uses both to lead us to the truth. He discusses the vice that is at the root of all falsehood and the virtue that is necessary for acknowledging and living out the truth. Learn how to overcome harmful ignorance, develop a "positive hunger" for the truth, and why the role of Advocate is uniquely tied to the sacrament of Confirmation. The reflection questions that accompany each chapter encourage the reader to examine his or her own relation to the truth and to invoke the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Book Description
This thrilling novel paints a grim picture of what the future may have in store for us. Advocate of the truth is a gripping novel set in today's society, marked by growing intolerance, populism, terrorism, the yearn for security and failing (political) leadership. A society in which technological developments seem endless, but where the privacy of the individual is undermined with no remorse. On a more personal level, it is a deeply moving story about friendship, love and the compassion Francis of Assisi stands for. This fast-paced literary thriller prompts you to reflect on wisdom from the past and ethics for the future, showing the intense struggle between good and evil that hits home in today's society. When Thomas, a former partner of a prestigious law firm, promises his best friend Sam to keep his groundbreaking Spider technology away from mankind, he has no clue what awaits him. A chilling scenario unfolds when Thomas is plunged into a web of corporate espionage, misleading information, the rising power of populism and murder. As he finds signs pointing to a high-level conspiracy, a mysterious and deadly virus sweeps across the earth. Politicians and unknown forces take advantage of the panic, hitting fear buttons worldwide. A pandemic is looming, and so is a dystopian future. Orwell's 1984 is getting closer every day. "If we aren't careful we will turn into a society in which all human consciousness ceases to exist. It will be much worse than Orwell's 1984." Suddenly Sam's Spider technology has life-saving potential, raising profound ethical questions: Do we allow fear and greed to overrule the natural bonds between people? Should the privacy of individuals be sacrificed to the illusion of safety? How do we prevent technology from casting a dark shadow over the future? And ultimately: is mankind nearing its expiration date? Thomas sets out to find the truth against a backdrop of misleading information, manipulation, deceit and intimidation. Nothing is what it seems. His tense search leads him to the medieval Italian city of Assisi, oppressive boardrooms, back alleys and dimly-lit churches in Rome, and a former monastery overlooking the Mediterranean in France. He is supported by his old college buddy Charles, a philosopher who has moved up the ranks of Dutch politics, and by Gianni, a quick-witted Italian lawyer in Rome. Meanwhile, he has two women vying for his heart: Sophia, a sensitive violinist who cared for his father in the final days of life, and Juliette, an alluring and intriguing Parisian he meets by chance in Tuscany.

2015 Christy Award finalist! 2015 ECPA Christian Book Award Winner! At the trial of Christ, Theophilus, brilliant young assessore raised in the Roman aristocracy, stands behind Pontius Pilate and whispers, “Offer to release Barabbas.” The strategy backfires, and Theophilus never forgets the sight of an innocent man unjustly suffering the worst of all possible deaths—Roman crucifixion. Three decades later, Theophilus has proven himself in the legal ranks of the Roman Empire. He has survived the insane rule of Caligula and has weathered the cruel tyrant’s quest to control the woman he loves. He has endured the mindless violence of the gladiator games and the backstabbing intrigue of the treason trials. Now he must face another evil Caesar, defending the man Paul in Nero’s deranged court. Can Theophilus mount a defense that will keep another innocent man from execution? The advocate’s first trial altered the course of history. His last will change the fate of an empire.
