| "the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do" -1Ch12
To this concise book by Bishop Chaput, this non-Catholic says: Wow, a true tour d'force. A continuous flow of historical, cultural, moral, and spiritual insight and perspective. At times the text flows almost non-stop with memorable quotes, representing an enormous amount of research, imparting a deep well of understanding and wisdom. I liked the way Chaput ... Read More: |

| This book is terrible at all levels and not useful for any purpose. It's a horribly dull read, without any true narrative, and is so heavily edited as to be useless even for historical purposes. This book is little more than a selective collection, tied together by heavy editorial remark, of professional correspondence between Mother Teresa and her supervisors. I was led to believe by the hype preceding this book that it would 1) reveal Mother There's personal struggles with the existence of God, and 2) be ... Read More: |

| 4.Being Catholic Now: Prominent Americans Talk About Change in the Church and the Quest for Meaning by: Kerry Kennedy September 09, 2008 |

| As a Catholic, I've grown tired of relentless monotone stereotyping of Catholics. Being Catholic Now has been needed for a long time. Kennedy brings a more honest look at the rich spectrum of Catholic experience. The book affirmed that my experience growing up Catholic, thoughtful, curious, open, and responsible (not guilty) was not an anomaly as so many would suggest. In fact, my experience seems normal. What a joy! |

| 5.St. Paul: Jubilee Year of the Apostle Paul Edition: A Bible Study for Catholics by: Mitch Pacwa May 02, 2008 |

| I agree with the Customer Reviews, especially the comment "Fr. Pacwa respects the intelligence of his readers, and doesn't hesitate to introduce deep theological points and insights".
However, we have a Bible Study Group that is finding Father Pacwa's book to be difficult. In my opinion, before tackling Father Pacwa's Bible Study, our Bible-Study Group would have benefitted from a more chronological study of St Paul's life and his letters FIRST. (Bible-Study is not new to our group--our group has been meeting for 2 ... Read More: |

| I first read this book when given to me by our pediatrician. I was deeply touched by the way in which Nouwen guides us to a deepr look into the painting and ourselves. As the leader for the Sunday Adult Book Study I chose this book to start off our fall classes. It is a delight to share this book with the members of our study group, and to see the light shining within them as the true meaning of the parable sinks in. This is a book that you will want to purchase for yourself, not borrow from a friend or library, as you will want ... Read More: |

| This is a well written survey of Catholicism, mainly for the uninitiated. Written in a very clear and simple way, but never trying to "accommodate" the taste of younger people as far as the Teaching is concerned.
The author tries to convey his message in an entertaining way and succeeds in adopting a style able to involve young readers, without watering down his message. Also very useful for occasional consultation. |

| The book is a great read. It provides insights into how things came to be in the context of history, especially art history. I do graphic designs so it's particularly interesting to learn, for instance, the origins of liturgical colors or how some colors evolved into their present form. (Important in explaining identity designs.) The book is written in very casual, and understandable style. The book provides ways to answer or explain certain matters of faith and Tradition in a very conversational tone. Johnson doesn't tackle anything new really ... Read More: |

| In "The Fathers," Pope Benedict XVI continues walking through, to use his charming phrase, "the portrait gallery" of the founders of the Church that he began in "The Apostles." Once again, Our Sunday Visitor assembled a collection of the Holy Father's weekly addresses. On the book jacket, OSV says that the book focuses on the generation or two after the Apostles but the vast majority of the theologians, bishops, monks and holy men that Benedict mediates on come from the tumultuous fourth century. While more historically grounded than his sketches in ... Read More: |
