HarperOne, 2007
Reflections after a congregational study

Chocolat: A Screenplay 1 review Robert Nelson; Hallstrom, Lasse; Harris, Joanne Chocolat Jacobs
Hyperion Books, 2001
MELTED!
This is an unfortunate occurence. Miramax has taken an enjoyable and well written novel and gutted it of it's emotional intensity, presumably in an effort to make it more palatable to the movie going masses. Pere Reynaud and Vianne Rocher are very similar--both want to bring good to the little ...

The story of the Cronin family
+ Love under pressure + Those who learn to love:
Those familiar with Greeley's books know Cardinal Cronin well. This is the story of his family and his rise to the Cardinal's hat. This is a typical Greeley book, full of intrigue, action, mystery and church lore. Wonderful story told by a master.
