Gregory F. Augustine Pierce

Ave Maria Press, 2007

Road to happy, holy, and fulfilled life
The main thesis of this new work by Gregory Pierce is that the Mass of the Catholic Church provides everything we need to be happy, holy, and fulfilled in our lives: a mission worthy of our lives, a community to send us forth, and a spirituality of work. These three embody the 15 chapters of The Mass Is Never Ended, each of which closes with a short "story about" that synthesizes the topic and ...

Surprisingly good tool for pre-marriage discussions!
This little booklet was given to us by a preist during pre-marriage counseling. My husband couldn't roll his eyes fast enough when he saw the title, but to say that we were pleasantly surprised was an understatement. This little book has wonderful little exercises that just help navigate discussions on really important topics from raising children to how you fight as a couple, to daily chores ...

Finding God @ Work: Practicing Spirituality in Your Workplace
Gregory F. Augustine Pierce

ACTA Publications, 2004

Many books on spirituality ask readers to find quiet, peaceful places away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. It is relatively easy, however, to find spirituality in such a place. The real challenge is being able to find spirituality in the midst of the daily grind where people spend the majority of their time. With this in mind, Gregory F. Augustine Pierce offers Finding God @ Work, a six-session group faith-sharing book ...

Diamond Presence: Twelve Stories of Finding God at the Old Ball Park

1 review

ACTA Publications, 2004

Thou Shalt Love Thy Baseball as Thyself
Pierce and 12 other authors share stories of baseball's "ability to capture what life is really all about." Many of the stories feature at least a few paragraphs of play-by-play, which would probably appeal more to fans than to readers like me who are indifferent to the sport. Not to say I didn't find the stories interesting and sometimes inspiring. I just identified more with the one about a ...

How Bill James Changed Our View of the Game of Baseball

7 reviews
Rob Neyer, Alan Schwarz

ACTA Sports, 2007

A Slim But Important Volume
My favorite Bill James insight has absolutely nothing to do with baseball. It was in the Abstract the year he bought a computer, and the insight was that computers are incredibly dumb. He would type things the way he always had, and then make one mistake and the computer would execute that mistake as perfectly as it had all his correct commands, and he wondered why the computer couldn't learn. ...

Spirituality at Work: 10 Ways to Balance Your Life on the Job

3 reviews
Gregory F. Augustine Pierce

Loyola Press, 2005

Spirituality for the Rest of Us
This wonderful little book could be aptly subtitled "Spirituality for the rest of us." Pierce, who confesses himself "piety-impaired," has written a practical, day-to-day handbook for discovering the divine presence as it lurks in some of the places we may least expect it. This is not a book about how to cope with jobs that overwhelm and diminish us. It is rather a step-by-step set of ...

52 (Good) Reasons to Go to Church: Besides the Obvious Ones

1 review
Paul McFate, Gregory F. Augustine Pierce

ACTA Publications, 2004

Great little book listing scientific studies of chruch benefits
This is a great little booklet. It provides brief summaries of scientific studies supporting positive effects of church attendance. The explanations of each reason are quite brief: 1-3 paragraphs. Some of the studies were published in religious journals (Journal for Scientific Study of Religion), but many were published in mainstream academic journals (American Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of ...

Mr. Axe has a gift for challenging our paradigms about life
I am not even retired and I found this book very interesting and inspiring! Mr. Axe truly has a gift for weaving together humor, insight and thought provoking quotes to challenge our paradigms about life over the hill. I highly recommend it for anyone at a crossroads in their life or who knows someone entering their golden years. Buy this book, you won't be disappointed!
