of Lisieux.
Composed entirely by a cloistered Carmelite nun,
the Thérèse musical score features the talents of
various Pacific Northwest musicians under the direction of conductor Vilem
Sokol, who is widely known for his work with the Seattle Youth Symphony
Orchestra. This inspirational score delicately weaves a beautiful melodic
thread through the true story of Thérèse, sewing
together a balance between simple confidence and a sensitive purity, akin
to Saint Thérèse herself.
The Thérèse soundtrack quietly embraces the audience
and draws them in to reflect on the life and spiritual journey of Thérèse
Martin, an ordinary girl who desired to love God and others in a selfless
way. This method of living, simply called the Little Way and
tenderly depicted in the film, formed the foundation for Thérèses
spiritual life and led her to become Saint Thérèse, the
greatest saint of modern times.

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the finest Christian authors and apologists
of the past two hundred years. Raised as an agnostic, he embraced Christianity as a young man, ultimately entering the Catholic Church
in 1922. He wrote hundreds of essays, as well as novels, short stories, poetry, apologetics, literary
criticism, and nearly everything else imaginable. Dale Ahlquist, president and co-founder of the American
Chesterton Society and author of
G.K Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense, writes, "Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism,
history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. His style is unmistakable, always marked
by humility, consistency, paradox, wit, and wonder. His writing remains as timely and as timeless
today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper." Read more
about the life and work of this remarkable thinker, author, and apologist.

The Quest For Shakespeare: The Bard
of Avon and the Church of Rome
by Joseph Pearce
Highly regarded and best-selling literary writer and teacher, Joseph Pearce presents a stimulating and vivid biography of the
world's most revered writer that is sure to be controversial. Unabashedly provocative, with scholarship, insight and keen observation,
Pearce strives to separate historical fact from fiction about the beloved Bard. Shakespeare is not only one of the greatest
figures in human history, he is also one of the most controversial and one of the most elusive. He is famous and yet almost
unknown. Who was he? What were his beliefs? Can we really understand his plays and his poetry if we don't know the man who
wrote them? These are some of the questions that are asked and answered in this gripping and engaging study of the world's
greatest ever poet. The Quest for Shakespeare claims that books about the Bard have got him totally wrong. They misread the
man and misread the work. The true Shakespeare has eluded the grasp of the critics. Dealing with the facts of Shakespeare's
life and times, Pearce's quest leads to the inescapable conclusion that Shakespeare was a believing Catholic living in very
anti-Catholic times.
