We are excited to announce the publication of a another book: Lands of Hope & Promise: A History of North America. Lands of Hope & Promise is our history of Anglo and Latin America for the high school student in e-book format. This newest addition to our history series continues our aspiration of providing accurate, engaging and vibrantly told history to Catholic students. The growing popularity of our history books among Catholic schools and homeschooling parents testifies to the superiority of these books to any now on the market. Teachers know they can trust the content to be factual and authentic, and the design to be attractive and of high quality. Above all, they know the story of civilization will be told in light of the universal truth of the Catholic faith.
The author of Lands of Hope & Promise is Christopher Zehnder, who also wrote the highly-praised Sea to Shining Sea. Mr. Zehnder gives his reason for choosing the title of his new work:
Lands of Hope & Promise is currently only available in e-book format. Go to the CTP website to purchase.As Catholics, believers in Christ, the Lord of History, we are called to participate in the story of the world, to help realize in whatever way we can the great purpose of God in the incarnation of his Son – the restoration of all things in Christ. We have called this volume Lands of Hope and Promise because North America – and not just North America, but all the world – has been purchased by the blood of Christ in the hope that it might be renewed with him in his resurrection. He who commanded the apostles to preach the Gospel to all nations (Matt. 28:19-20) beckons his modern disciples to apply the teachings of Christ and his Church to the struggles and sufferings, hopes and aspirations, of the peoples and societies in which they live. And though all may seem quite dark, we have the assurance that the light of Christ shines in the darkness. And where the light of Christ shines, there indeed is hope. There, indeed, is promise.
