Religion : Leadership

Bestselling author Thomas Cahill captures one of the Church’s most beloved popes with “intellectual freshness”. (The Washington Post). Beginning with How the Irish Saved Civilization and continuing most recently with Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea and Mysteries of the Middle Ages, Thomas Cahill’s Hinges of History series has edified a new generation of nonfiction lovers.
