I Meet Jesus: He Tells Me "I Love You" : Story of the Love of God Through the Bible 1 review
Jean Vanier
Paulist Press, 1981
Highly recommended. See for yourself.
I hope I can describe to you the "feel" of having this gentle and powerful book in your hands. (I have the paperback version.)
It is the shape of the image Amazon has at the top of the book's home page, but bear in mind that it opens out into twice that width. Unlike most children books, it is ...

Communion and Liberation: A Movement in the Church1 review
McGill-Queen's University Press, 2000
An unexpected answer
This book is worth buying just for the "Recognizing Christ" piece. The new morality that Giussani introduces by looking at the "Yes" of Peter resolves the problem inherent in trying to live ethics for their own sake (since being human, I can never live up to all the ideals I and others set. So ...

Mark D. Lowery
Charis Books, 2003
A great intro to the Catholic Church's moral life
+ Living the Good Life
Dr. Lowery has done what few Catholic authors in his field have done. He has provided his readers with an accessible, understandable and readable introduction to the Church's moral life. It is apparent that he has a great grasp on the Church's moral theology, but what makes his book excellent is ...

Triumph: The Power and the Glory of the Catholic Church43 reviews
H. W. Crocker III
Three Rivers Press, 2001
Great history and very entertaining
+ Chonology of papal Succession
A very good historical record of the Church that pulls no punches and is a very fun and witty read. Triumph reads more like a novel than a history book. One word of caution however this book is not for "liberal Catholics". Mr. Crocker speaks the truth without worrying about "ecumenical" and other ...

The Desert: An Anthology for Lent3 reviews
Morehouse Publishing, 1997
Excellent Lenten preparation to use year after year
+ A Map for the Journey
+ A quiet companion for a 40 day journey
The Desert is one of the best anthologies of mediations for Lent that I have seen. The book has three explanatory chapters on desert spirituality and it's literature. The core of the book is a group of readings for each day of lent, the group rarely filling two pages. The breadth of material ...
