CAROLINE CHISHOLM - THE EMIGRANT'S FRIEND. £9.99p,
Gracewing.
The story of Australia's national heroine, Caroline
Chisholm, who championed the cause of the early settlers,
carved out new routes into the bush, helped to re-unite
families separated by cruel transportation policies, and
established Australia as a nation offering hope and prosperity
for newcomers. This is the only book published in Britain
about Mrs Chisholm, whose home in London carries a blue
plaque and who is honoured in her native Northampton,
but has been too often neglected by British historians,
although she is a household name in Australia. A heart-warming
story of courage, faith, and family life. Joanna Bogle
has also become a popular speaker on this subject at women's
groups across Britain and Australia.

DOES
THE CHURCH OPPRESS WOMEN?
A challenging look at the feminist version of
history and at the role that the Catholic Church plays
in women's lives. Thought-provoking and lively, it is
a must for anyone who wants an honest look at the issues
of women's ordination, Christian marriage, abortion, divorce,
and chastity. £1.95p from CTS.
THE
UGANDA MARTYRS.
A short and readable booklet telling the heroic story
of the teenage boys in Uganda who died rather than submit
to taking part in homosexual activity. Canonised by the
Catholic Church in the l960s, these boys are today honoured
across Africa - but too little known in Britain. A
booklet to challenge comfortable thinking and a reminder
of the cost of conscience. Ideal for school discussion
groups, Confirmation classes etc. £1.95p from CTS.
Available
from the Catholic Truth Society, 40-46 Harleyford Road,
