Freedom Under Grace
Freedom Under Grace showcases homilies, addresses, and writings from Prevost's 12 years (2001 to 2013) overseeing the Order of Saint Augustine as its Prior General. The collection allows readers to witness the spiritual formation and development of the man who would become pope—in his own words, written before he or anyone imagined his future role in the Church.
Drawing deeply from the spirituality and perspective of Saint Augustine, whom he calls his spiritual father, Prevost advances a vision of the spiritual life rooted in community and solidarity, a dogged commitment to the poor and marginalized, and the conviction that the gospel is the message that our restless and divided world most urgently needs.
“We are called to be fully human in the midst of an inhuman society. Christian holiness is love, and is born in our hearts,” writes Prevost. “As Augustinians, we are called to promote life, in the depths of what it means to be truly human; we must promote those values that make true humanity possible: peace and justice, the richness present in all cultures, the beauty of creation in nature. To be truly human requires an attitude of service to others and openness to authentic dialogue.”
At the heart of the collection is the belief that has guided Prevost’s whole life: "Man is not defined by what he possesses or what he knows, but rather by what he loves." Freedom Under Grace is not the writings of an out-of-touch academic, but of a pastor—one who is deeply attentive to the needs of the human heart.
The book offers an utterly unique portrait of the first American and first Augustinian pope, and essential reading for anyone seeking Pope Leo's wisdom, theological insight, and moral courage.
Pope Leo XIV
From Elise Ann Allen, journalist and Rome correspondent for Crux, comes this intimate biography of Pope Leo XIV, including his first-ever public interview as pope.
On May 8, 2025, the whole world watched with great anticipation as white smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, and the new pope who emerged to greet us from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica was a surprise to all. He was a man no one expected, a “dark horse candidate,” as the media came to call him, and the first-ever American to be elected—Robert Prevost, who took the name Leo XIV.
But why him? What did the other cardinals see in Robert Prevost? Who is Leo XIV? How did his path lead him to the Holy See, and what can we expect from him?
Elise Ann Allen offers here the only biography of Pope Leo XIV, featuring the Holy Father’s very first interview after his election. She gives readers an intimate and detailed account of the life of Robert Prevost, from his birth in Chicago and his first years as a priest in the Augustinian order to his years as a missionary in Peru and the vital role he came to play in the Vatican as head of bishops. The result is an inspiring picture of a man of profound character, spiritual leadership, integrity, warmth, and citizenship in the world.
This biography is replete with personal stories and reflections from those who know Leo XIV personally, details of his pastoral ministry over the years, and analysis of his global perspective as a dual citizen of the United States and Peru.
Pope Leo XIV is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the Church’s pastor—his priorities, convictions, and vision for the future of faith.

Seeking the Spirit Within
Discover the power of breathing to draw closer to God. This step-by-step guide offers healing for your body and soul—and it all begins with your next breath.
“Shereen’s journey is amazing, led by the wind, the carrier of God’s holiness. Keep on, Shereen, serene and clear, strong and humble.”—Wim Hof, the Iceman
Each breath is an invitation and an opportunity to rediscover we are meant for more than mere survival: we are meant to be alive. When God filled us with His own breath, He chose our lungs to hold us together as body and soul, creatures who are miraculously the very dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. And yet we often live divided, disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and Godʼs presence within us. But there is another way.
In Seeking the Spirit Within, Shereen Yusuff, a certified breath and movement coach and Benedictine oblate, offers exercises that teach readers anew to pay attention, breathe, and pray. She demonstrates that itʼs impossible to care for the body without caring for the soul and that the deepest source of our healing is Christ in us.
The Way
OVER FOUR MILLION COPIES SOLD
A meaningful Lenten resource from Saint Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei, full of timeless reflections that point the way to a life that is infused with faith.
The inspiration for Hallow’s 2025 Lent Pray40 Community Prayer Challenge
The Christian’s life in this world is a journey in search of the love of Christ. St. Josemaría’s book is an open invitation to set out on that journey, and its final stage speaks to us of the love that comes, as a result of seeking and finding Christ, as the fulfillment of that arduous journey, a love that, in fact, was there all along, seeking us out.—Bishop Javier Echevarría, from theintroduction
Reflecting Saint Josemaría Escrivá’s conviction that God can be found in the everyday, The Way blends passages from sacred Scripture with anecdotes drawn from Escrivá’s life and work, snatches of conversation, and selections from his personal letters. These short, poignant meditations, totaling 999 “points,” together form a guide to a better life and “a more worthy soul.” The Way beautifully conveys Escrivá’s belief that the human is not foreign to the divine, and that the fully Christian spiritual attitude can be described as unity of life.
