Advent 2025: The Ultimate Catholic Man’s Arsenal
It’s Black Friday weekend, the deals are live, and every Catholic man is being bombarded with commercials, ads, and utter nonsense about what they NEED to buy or what they SHOULD want. The guilt trips are non-stop. If you don't buy this, you are failing. If you don't have this for your family, what are you even doing? You get it...
I want to offer you something more substantial. Something that will actually last a life-time. Something your wife and children will remember. What is that?
Time with dad. Reading to them. Experiencing the stories of Christmas and Advent rolled up into one.
Gather your family around the fire. Sip hot cocoa. And open up these gems from TAN Books.
Here are the four books every serious Catholic man needs in his home this Advent season:
Daily readings from St. Augustine, St. Athanasius, St. John Chrysostom to deepen your faith this Advent season. These are the men who preached Christ while the Roman Empire tried to erase Christianity. Let them train you for seven weeks to hunger for the Savior like never before.
Perfect for: Morning mental prayer that actually wakes you up. Think a cold plunge for your soul!
St. Alphonsus doesn’t waste words. These daily meditations are short, blunt, and life-changing. If you want a saint who calls you out and drags you closer to Jesus, this is it.
Perfect for: Guys who hate fluff and need a daily kick to get things stirring!
Kill the screens for one hour a night. Light the fireplace (or a candle), pour hot cocoa, and read your kids classic Catholic tales that forge courage, sacrifice, and wonder. This book is how you reclaim the imagination of your home for Christ.
Perfect for: Dads who want their sons and daughters to grow up admiring saints, not influencers.
4. Illustrated Classic Christmas Carols
Gorgeous hardcover with full lyrics and artwork for every carol your grandparents knew by heart. Turn your living room into a domestic church. Teach your family to sing “O Holy Night” like they mean it.
Perfect for: Building Catholic culture that outlasts every trending TikTok sound.
