 Alaskana Catholica by Rev. Louis L. Renner, S.J."This fascinating volume offers an intimate picture of the activities of the Catholic Church's Alaska Mission, from its beginning in the nineteenth century to the present. It is a fact-filled account of people and places with a wonderful array of characters...Father Renner, with a historian's concern for the facts and a writer's eye for a good story, has produced a valuable work." --Francis Paul Prucha, S.J., professor of history emeritus Marquette University Alaskana Catholica is a reference work in the format of an encyclopedia. It offers its readers something more than mere bare-bones reference data and Who's Who-s. Moreover, some entries have a story about the given entry's subject attached to them. Some have a "tapestry" woven out of a series of quotations from the mission diary of the given place attached to them. These stories and tapestries give readers a kind of "you are there" experience, of being present at an event of the past or at a place remote to them. Close to 400 images illustrate Alaskana Catholica. Price: $85.00 each including postage. Sent book rate, please allow 6 weeks for delivery. |
 Gleeson, The Last Vicar Apostolic of All of AlaskaThis personal story of Bishop Gleeson unfolds against the backdrop of early American growth and expansion, with special focus on Alaska as it evolved from a territory, was purchased by the United States and then achieved statehood. This part of the globe is explored from the earliest introduction of Christianity into the territory by the Russian Orthodox priests until the growth leads to division into three dioceses by the Catholic Church along with scattered Protestant development within the frigid climes. The life of Bishop Gleeson and his insights into the future of Alaska are woven together into a fabric that lets readers see a metamorphosis of Alaskan Natives from hunters and gatherers toward a cultural subgroup that can cope with the demands of today's world. Gleeson served as the Last Vicar of All of Alaska, and one can capture a glimpse of a man with a servant-heart who was a Joyful Frontiersman for God. Price: $25.00 each including postage.
