The Guardians of Mythireal

(As You Wish Media, 2022)

Life after death. We’ve all pondered what it will be like, right? For some, it’s endless buffets of favorite foods that you can eat for eternity and never get fat. For others, it’s cloud hammocks and angelic trumpet horns echoing in an endless sky of blue. Still others see it as the final destination, an eternal slumber where you can finally “rest in peace.”

It’s nothing like that.

I should know, I’m dead.

I’m Watson Norbury and, together with my twin sister, Hudsyn, we’ve learned that every person, living or dead, is destined to go on an impossible adventure. An adventure where souls wield weapons of light, jump across dreams, and travel through time to earn our rank as Immortals.

There’s just one problem: I’m terrible at all of those things.

But if I can figure out a way to earn my immortality, I might be able to save not only Earth, but all of the Mystic Realms.

Rosary Consecration

(En Route Books and Media, 2022)

What if you knew what God’s will was for your life right now? What if you had the ability to destroy vice, decrease sin, and cause good works and virtue to flourish? What if you could have the light of God and the plentitude of his graces every single day of your life, leading to true peace in your soul? That’s exactly what you’ll get at through this book, which will prepare you for total consecration to Jesus through Mary. It is the most practical, deep, and accessible way toward becoming a closer disciple of Christ and attaining, as St. Paul wrote to the Colossians, “full knowledge of God’s will through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight” (1:9). To make it so, Burdick combines the timeless Marian prayer of the Rosary and intertwined its mysteries with St. Louis De Montfort’s True Devotion, St. Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, and the four Marian Dogmas of her Immaculate Conception, Divine Motherhood, Perpetual Virginity, and her Assumption into Heaven.

The Gospel in Kid Speak

(En Route Books and Media, 2022)

What do you think runs through the minds of our children when the Gospel is read at Mass? Sure, we all wish they could be little Bible scholar prodigies, soaking in every word and internalizing the message directly from the Holy Spirit all while making profound connections with their unique mission and practical application of Christ’s message in their everyday lives.

But, clearly, that simply isn’t the case for most children. The truth is our little ones have almost no access to the written Gospel at all. While in the pews, they are more likely to dream about their favorite toys or try to guess what is for lunch than to contemplate the mysteries of the Gospel being read to them.

This book was designed to change that. (Read more)
