The apostles are trapped in a mighty storm, their fishing boat on the brink of capsizing . . . and Jesus slept. This confused, scared, and even angered the apostles, who could not fight back the storm. But as always, Christ is our model.
In these modern times, we often find ourselves adrift in a storm of stress, anxiety, and chronic busy-ness. We all suffer from it. In these moments, it’s easy to react like the apostles: to panic, to become angry, to be frightened.
But like Christ, we should strive to be still amidst the storm. Here, Conor Gallagher (as a father of 15, no stranger to life’s chaos) helps you reflect upon and cultivate three remedies to the stress of modern life:
- Encountering God in the present moment, which requires of a stillness of mind, to remain in the moment instead of fretting over past mistakes or future anxieties
- Listening to the voice of God, which can only be heard by blocking out the relentless noise of the world and calming our increasingly restless souls
- Resting in serene stillness by resisting the stir-crazy spirit of the world and rejecting busy-ness for busy-ness’s sake
In a world that constantly bombards us with noise, this little book offers a wealth of practical advice and real-world guidance on how to cut out stress, anxiety, and worry so that we may rest in the Lord and hear His voice, so that we may be Still Amidst the Storm.
Dear Parent,
A trillion years from now, your child will be either in Heaven or in Hell. And this is only the beginning of eternity.
In light of this eternal perspective, the time is now, Dear Parent, to raise your child to live entirely for Christ and His Church. The time is now to train your child in the Four Last Things, the spiritual life, the virtues of piety and humility, and the school of Calvary while shielding him from the errors of modernism, Protestantism, and much more.
Unlike most parenting books which focus exclusively on the body and this fleeting world, this short work focuses upon your child’s eternal soul. In these pages, you will be challenged to see the eternal consequence of every single parental act—acts of commission and acts of omission.
The Lord has said unto you, it is better that you have a millstone hung around your neck and that you be cast into the depths of the sea than for you, Dear Parent, to lead your little one astray (Mk 9:41).

What if you could never be “busy” again?
As a free human, you always have time—plenty of time—to do God’s will. The reason you might not see this clearly is the secret sin of modern times; not the sin of pride, or lust, or gluttony, but the oft-overlooked sin of sloth. How ironic it is that the busy person is often really guilty of being slothful!
In this short book, Gallagher, father of sixteen and CEO of TAN Books and Well-Ordered Family, will have a lasting impact on you as you hustle and bustle your way through life. His words will calm you and refocus you on your deepest desire: to do God’s will.
Anyone who suffers from the anxiety of a “busy” life needs to read this book. It will show you how the saints were never busy and help you eradicate busyness from your daily life. You will finally discover peace and serenity amidst the chaos of the modern world.
“You are about to begin your journey to total freedom of time. Your time belongs to you and God. No one else. His gift to you is to never be busy again.”
You have a very big problem. Not a hundred, not dozens, not ten, but one—and it’s a big one. Most of us put out fires on a daily basis, whether they be dirty diapers, bills to pay, car trouble, fractured familial relationships, or the dramas of your social circle. Our self-centeredness pulls us into these struggles and blinds our perspective to the greater truth that all of these stem from one core problem.
Perhaps the greatest misconception you carry in your mind and heart is that your suffering is bad or wrong or that it is in some other way a serious “problem.” This little book will challenge that idea. It will help you see that, more often than not, your suffering is not your “problem” but a perfectly designed gift from God to bring you instant happiness.
So, what is your real “one problem”?
“Your one and only one problem is this: that you have not completely surrendered yourself and every part of your life to Divine Providence.”
You have been blessed with being the leader of your family. You have been blessed to be the architect of your life.
How exactly does someone take on an identity or become something new? Where does someone begin building the life for their family they always dreamed of?
In a day and age where the world threatens to pull families apart, where relationships grow shallow, and the cultural mindset centers around self-interest, you might wonder: What can I do to help my family?
While many parents feel overwhelmed and helpless, Conor Gallagher reminds that, with grace and grit, you must step up and lead your family. In this short, yet poignant and plain-spoken book, you will learn ways to free yourself from the stress and become the leader your family needs.
“You can’t outsource the design of your family’s ecosystem,” Gallagher reminds us.
So it’s time to arise and begin. You are the architect. You are the master builder.

A Stranger Among Us is a sweeping, lyrical novel of love, loss, and redemption set against the backdrop of the 1920s South.
Hack, a young black boy and the son of a poor groundskeeper at a Benedictine monastery, is marked by a deep longing to seek truth. His father, Percy, raises him with quiet wisdom and virtue, even as they endure the harsh realities of racism and poverty.
One night, tragedy strikes. Percy is killed while trying to save a young woman from an attacker—who then murders her and frames Percy for the crime. The local authorities hail the real killer as a hero and begin hunting Hack as an accomplice.
Taken in by the monks, Hack is hidden from the law and given sanctuary. There, his thirst for knowledge is nurtured through an education in philosophy, theology, and friendship. But the more he learns, the more he hungers for the truth that lies beyond reason—truth only found in grace.
Spanning from the Roaring Twenties through World War II, A Stranger Among Us is a story of suffering and salvation, told in luminous prose. It’s a journey through darkness and light, injustice and healing—a mirror to America’s wounded past and a testament to the enduring power of virtue.
