I just got a few great books!~ at least I think they’ll be.
1. Memoirs, All Rivers Run to the Sea by Elie Wiesel. I already began this and I am telling you it is amazing!
2. The Prophets By Abraham Heschel.
3. Friends on the Path by Thich Nhat Hanh
4. Mysteries of […]
I really liked this book. Christopher Paolini was around fifteen when he began writing Eragon, and I am so glad his family rallied around him encouraging his great imagination. Such potential crafted at this early age is exciting to experience. He will only get better as the years progress. About half […]
Picador: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York 2004. Distributed by Holtzbrinck publishers 102 Pgs. www.picadorusa.com
You need to buy this book! It is the memoir of a young boy becoming a man in the war torn country of Kurdistan. From their displacements, family struggles, savage political circumstances, and longing for […]
Over the years I have read a number of Vonnegut’s books. One of the reasons I continue to go back to his work is that Vonnegut lays it all out before the reader in a way that oozes with sarcasim and cynicism. I appreciate his willingness to be blunt. He can certainly […]
1996, Ave Maria Press. 111 Pgs. I finished this book the beginning of Feb. 1998. I am not sure when it dawned on me, but the author who somehow became my personal “counselor”, teaching me how to offer my broken life back to Jesus as a gift, passed away in 1996. The realization that I […]
I loved this book! 159 Pgs. 06, Orbis Books. It is a breath of fresh air since the content really tries to give the reader a deeper picture of the person, rather than an analysis of his works. For those who are familiar with Henri Nouwen and his spiritual writings you will […]
Even though this may be one of Dr. Hahn’s least known works, I find it to be one of his best. If you have wondered what it would be like to sit in a classroom and hear Hahn lecture on the importance of Scripture, this book would be required reading. The importance of […]
This book is worth every penny! 2006 Orbis Press. Maryknoll, NY. 202 Pgs.
I am almost finished with this book, and usually won’t comment upon one until I’ve completed the last page. In this case I made an exception because I can’t stop talking about it to friends and peers alike. Signs […]
I finished this book 8/6/98. 120 pgs. Image Books edition, 1954. This little paperback struck me in a profound way almost a decade ago. Reading a few quotes tonight I am even more amazed at his vulnerability and depth! You really need to check this fabulous book out.
Many find Merton to […]
This book is becoming a classic. Ignatius Press 1993, 184 pages. I finished this book 6/4/98 and loved every page. In so many ways I am grateful to Our Lord, but in this case I am specifically indebted to Him for touching the Hahn family. This is a conversion story which many are fast becoming […]
