Grain of Wheat by Rev. Michael Giesler
Grain of Wheat is the final book in the trilogy that began with Junia and followedwith the sequel Marcus. Set in the second century of the early Christian Church, Grain of Wheat, takes you into the heroic lives of the early Christians. Along the way, it shows the beauty and dignity of the Christian family along with the power of the vocation to celibacy—a charism lived not only by priests and bishops, but by many of the lay faithful. These brave men and women, both single and married, followed Christ and spread His Kingdom while remaining in society. Through their courageous faith an entire culture was transformed, one person at a time, one family at a time. Read how they did it.
This work of fiction draws on early Christian testimonies, as well as more recent historical and contemporary books.

Veritatis Splendor: A Study of
John Paul II’s Encyclical On Moral Truth by Rev. Michael Giesler
It is obvious that we are living in a time of moral crisis. There is an urgent need for people with firm convictions in a world that is not only weakening, but often self-destructing. In his brilliant encyclical, Splendor of the Truth, John Paul II addresses the grave moral challenges of our times. His clear and moving analysis points to the causes as well as the solutions to today’s moral crises.
Topics covered:
- Posing the key question: how does one obtain eternal life? Each person’s unique and unrepeatable relationship with God.
- The intrinsic dependence of freedom upon truth. The nature of conscience and how to form a true one.
- The error of the fundamental option theory and other moral systems. The reality of mortal and venial sin.
- The redemption of the human race in Jesus Christ; the saving power of His truth and the mission of the Church in the world.
Rev. Michael Giesler is a priest of the Prelature Opus Dei and a member of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars.
