Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In El Sombre, Shadow of theSaguaro, the author has attempted to blend together actual historicalfigures, events, and facts, of the early 1800's with fictional heroes and villains.In as much as possible, these true life figures and forerunners of the Westwere picked by the author, because they were contemporaries of the era.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'The Deposit of Faith: What the Catholic Church Really Believes,' by Monsignor Eugene Kevane, is a treasure of information for teachers of catechetical instruction. In the wake of the Heresy of Modernism, Catholics everywhere, especially parents of Catholic children, have experienced the proliferation of new opinions, the exclusion of the Deposit of Faith, and the suppression of the Catechism by religious educators. This book portrays what Jesus Christ, as God, wanted the Apostles and through them the future members of His Church to know and teach. He made it very clear: 'Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Mk. 13, 31).
