While Church authorities, either on a national (U.S.) or universal (Vatican) level will sometimes caution the faithful about a particular book, especially if that book is doctrinally problematic (e.g., by Fr. Richard McBrienCatholicism; U.S. bishops) or is popularly considered to “complete” the Gospels (e.g., by Maria ValtortaPoem of the Man-God; Holy See), the Church usually leaves book reviews to the popular press and trusts the discernment of individual Catholics. In the case of Joshua by Fr. Joseph F. Girzone, I am unaware of any “official” cautions against the series. For a review by Fr. Brian Wilson, L.C., click here (scroll to third question).
