About Us
Pax et Bonum — "Peace and Good" — was St. Francis of Assisi's
greeting to a broken world, and it is ours too.
We publish books that meet readers where grace actually finds them:
in illness and in running shoes, in silence and in a child's bedtime story,
in the ordinary middle of an ordinary life.
Our is to write with honesty and tenderness rather than certainty and distance.

Our is a shelf of books — for children and adults alike — that quietly leaves behind, one page at a time, a trail of peace and good.
