Courageous Generosity: A Bible Study for Women on Heroic Sacrifice by Stacy Mitch comes to me at a perfect time. I just finished the Bible study this morning, and I’m impressed. While I grew up Protestant, I was a naughty Protestant and never did any kind of Bible study or anything like that. Therefore, [...] If anyone thinks that I like any and all books that I read, here’s the review you’ve been waiting for: I did not like this book, period. I had high hopes that I would like it, but it never really worked for me. My biggest and chief complaint is that Ms. Callahan makes [...] I’ve had this trilogy since our trip to California (so, the beginning of September), and finished it last night. Usually, I’m a quick reader, but there was something about these three books that really slowed me down. They weren’t boring. They weren’t over my head. They also weren’t dumbed down. They’re not long [...] Allow me to give a backstory to this review: I received this book by Mike Aquilina in the mail on Saturday.

I mean, the title sounds like it should be, right? I was totally surprised once I started reading the book that it’s not entirely apologetics based [...] One of the under-developed themes of my blog is the issue of modesty. Pre-conversion I can say that I dressed pretty floozy like, and had no problems “dressing for attention”. Since my conversion, marriage, and birth; I’ve reigned my dressing in to something considerably more modest than how I was dressing. Colleen Hammond’s [...] As you may (or may not) know, I’m a total “Sheeniac”. I guess one would say that I have a (big) devotion to the good Archbishop. I think I’ll forego mentioning my special connection with him – unless someone out there is interested. Anyways. This CD is reflections by Archbishop Sheen on [...] Let’s change gears here and talk about something sexy. Like, sex for example. As a Catholic, most of the drama I get from people who need a reason to attack the Church is Her stance on sex, marriage, and all the fun that that entails. Since Greg and I will be raising Elise and [...] I think I am starting to understand silence more, and be less afraid of it. Even as a musician in high school and beyond, rests across the orchestra was awkward and uncomfortable. The sound of dead silence was too much. Someone, sometimes myself; felt compelled to fill in the rest with an early note. [...] |
