For God, Country, and Sanity: How Catholics Can Save America
Ed. by Brian Burch
For God, Country, and Sanity brings together the most dynamic minds in Catholic political advocacy and media. Contributors are men and women “in the trenches,” who work across a broad spectrum of the Church in media, think tanks, and political activism. Topics cover the issues at the forefront of American life: free speech, parental rights in education and healthcare, how gay marriage changed America, why the Catholic Left is wrong about abortion, school choice, the weaponization of law enforcement, the women’s vote, and the federal war on Catholics.
For God, Country, and Sanity is not just a catechesis on what the Church teaches, but also on how that translates into civic action and taking back our civic institutions. We are fighting for our right to live out the truths of our faith in public life… and this book aims to inspire 1 million Catholics to join us.
From culture to politics to religion, all our contributors have brought their insight and wisdom to help prepare American Catholics for the upcoming election. Time to roll up your sleeves and click here to discover how you can change our country for the better!
Return of the Strong Gods: Nationalism, Populism, and the Return of the West
by R.R. Reno
A contributor to CatholicVote’s own book, Reno here writes his own exposition on the modern-day rejection of nation, clan, and religion, which offer the false promise of prosperity and freedom. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Mr. Reno explains, better than any book I can remember, the present-day progressive’s paranoid fear of fascism and neurotic determination to ferret out racism where none exists.”
Reno predicts that our society will see the return of “strong gods,” those structures and loyalties that used to define the West, and bind communities together. He warns, however, that if we are not careful to return to the true, good, and beautiful traditions, darker and more sinister gods will take control.

Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics
by Ross Douthat
What has happened to America? Didn’t we used to be Christian? In this book, Ross Douthat explains just what happened to the Church in America, and how it is affecting our nation as a whole. He argues that we do not have too much religion – a common complaint of the atheist, or too little religion – a common complaint of Christians themselves. Rather, Douthat states that it is bad religion, religion that has been corrupted, which is dragging America down with it.
We have become a nation of heretics, Douthat claims, and takes to history to prove it. Moving from the 1950s through Obama’s presidency, and taking on such varied topics as Eat Pray Love, Barack Obama, the Da Vinci Code, Joal Olsteen, and Oprah Winfrey, Douthat explores the prosperity gospel, and the polarization of America.

Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult

In this book, Mary Margaret Olohan once again gives a voice to the voiceless. The young people who have become prey to the “community” supporting “gender-affirming” surgeries tell their stories and expose the abusers who lied to them.
The book is disturbing, revealing mental and physical pain and confusion.

It is so important to tell these stories and reveal the horrors behind what people are calling “care.” Click here to help educate yourself and others.
Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology
by Noelle Mering
The atmosphere of our culture has gotten very dark – though the shadows have been gathering for quite some time. Our nation is extremely polarized, so much so that discourse between the two sides seems impossible – we have so little in common. Our premises are so different that we disagree on definitions and basic core values.
In this book, Noelle Mering returns to the source showing the history, important figures, and strategic tactics that have led us to a “woke” culture. With a witty sense of humor and a clear head, Mering outlines the operating principles of the woke movement, and what we can do to clear the clouds and come together once more.

Tim Carney brings us an old-fashioned view of raising kids. After extensive research and raising six kids, Carney shows how modern parenting methods set parents up to fail. The book is well-written and wise and will become a classic parenting handbook in no time.
