What secret does the old hollow tree hide? Juan and his best friend, Johnny, find rocks that look like gold. Then, they discover the corner of an iron box poking up in the hollow tree.

Pirates often hid their ships after looting merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean. Boys age 9-12 who like mysteries and suspense will like this book. B&W illustrations. A bit of science and history give this fictional story an educational edge. A few Spanish words and phrases used.

Abandoned in the 1960s by our nation's institutions of higher learning, this edition of Thomistic theology is certainly in stark contrast with the modern interpretation of individualism. The Order of Christ Crucified was written to spark interest within a new generation of readers and renew the spiritual enlightenment of those already familiar with the insights of this brilliant theologian. Combined with Cardinal John Henry Newman's take on the human characteristics we call faith and reason, the philosophy of Aristotle and Thomas is centered in a brief ecclesiology on the one end and a critique of the modern world on the other. Remaining true to the character of their thought, this book was written for the believer, is unapologetically Catholic, and forcefully written to uphold our belief in redemption through divine grace.
