One of the phrases I’ve heard as a Catholic is the “New Evangelization”. It’s phrase that doesn’t always have a clear explanation attached with it. What is the New Evangelization? How does one go about implementing it? The book, The Evangelization Equation: The Who, What, and How by Father James Wehner sets out to [...] In all honesty, I initially passed over this book when it was up for review. I was interested, but not TOTALLY interested. However, I decided to review the book; because I remember reading Julie Davis’ blog B.C. (before children) and enjoyed it a lot. I’m quite glad I did. My biggest hurdle that I [...] I think this is the hardest book I have read, ever. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but I was really surprised how hard it was for me to read. It was hard, but so worthwhile, so beautiful, so honest, so real. In the book, Abby Johnson recalls her story, from how [...] A Franciscan Christmas is a book that discusses each member of the Nativity and it’s importance to Franciscan spirituality and history. After all, St. Francis did set up the first Nativity scene. I was a little leery of this book, since I don’t know an awful lot about St. Francis and the Franciscans. I [...] This study guide came at a perfect time for me – Greg gave me Ralph Martin’s The Fulfillment of All Desire as a gift for our upcoming anniversary. I really am enjoying the study guide. The book itself is not full of deep concepts, but it definitely has a lot of “stuff” in it [...] You can tell what I’m most interested in at any point in my life by what books I read. Currently I’m on a parenting kick, so Parenting With Grace by Dr. Gregory Popcak and his wife, Lisa Popcak fits in perfectly. My first impressions was that it was thick – as in, 374 pages [...] I finished this book, The Salvation Controversy by James Akin this morning, after it becoming my official “book to read while I’m sitting with Elise while she falls asleep for naps”. I will admit, this book is at times, quite deep. That could be good or bad, depending on the kind of reader you [...] A person I’m greatly intrigued by is Fr. Benedict Groeschel. Long time readers may remember that he was at my parish recently for our Parish Mission and Greg and I (and Elise) were blessed to meet him and share a few words. I have wanted to read some of his books for a while, [...] Where to begin? Consoling the Heart of Jesus by Br. Michael Gaitley, MIC is a “do it yourself retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius”. The “do it yourself retreat” really grabbed my interest, as I would absolutely LOVE to do a retreat. However, that’s just not possible at this point in [...] I’ve had this book read and sitting on my desk, reminding me to write a review for it for a couple of days now. I’ve been chewing it over, thinking about it – it’s a fantastic book, first off. Mr. Janaro writes his testimony of suffering (Lyme Disease + depression + obsessive compulsive disorder) [...] |
