Another great rambling Doyle Story
First let me tell you that I am a friend with the author, however, I found this book to be one of his best. Doyle must have inherited the Irish tradition of story telling from his parents. I enjoy his writing style and the ability for him to celebrate the miniscule is wonderful. The undercurrent of Christian spirituality is evident in the stories that he tells. Did he really find the best ...

Lost Memories of a former Alter Boy
While this book only had a brief chapter on the memories of this author and his experiences as an alter boy it brought back memories for me of similar early mornings full of dusty kneelers, bell ringing and fists full of hosts stuffed in your pockets.

A short book that generates thought.
Reading this book made me look at all the little things. Brian's descriptions of his daughter were so vivid that it brought back memories of my own daughter early life. Clancy"s rules should be etched in stone as rules to live by. This book is a great book to read over a weekend.

"Who Are You?"
"Who are you?" "Batteries included." I hope you have time to read this book because you will never put it down. The Meanwhile Adventures is a funny , but exciting story. This book takes you to a silly family that does some amusing things. The message is that a funny family like this can be a little bit of trouble sometimes. I think this book is one of the ...
