Doors to the Sacred: A Historical Introduction to Sacraments in the Catholic Church
 
  1. Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson
  2. Moby Dick by Herman Melville (just finished yesterday)
I’d like a recommendation on books about Thomas Aquinas and Therese of Lisieux
 
I just finished Dan Silva’s The Unlikely Spy. Great WW II spy novel. Silva had alot more sex, some of it gratuitous, in this novel then he has in other books. The last Silva book I read left me wondering if Silva was an anti-Catholic bigot or completely ignorant of the true story of Pius XX & the Jews.

I am now reading Brant Pitre’s book Jesus & the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist.
 
Angels and Devils, by Joan Carroll Cruz. This book is the most comprehensive, fact-supported, saints and church fathers-referenced book about angels and devils I have ever come across! I’m really enjoying it.

I’ve read “Eucharistic Miracles” by: Joan Carroll Cruz and I found that book amazing. 👍

I’ll be sure to keep that book in mind next time I go to the Catholic bookshop.

Here are some other books by Joan Carroll Cruz

I read “The Christmas Cup” by: Nancy Ruth Patterson.

Still trying to read “The experience of being called” by: Br. Gerlac O’Loughlin, OCSO
 
How to Grow World Record Tomatoes: A Guinness Champion Reveals His All-Organic Secrets by Charles H. Wilber
 
I put off reading this book for a long time, because it’s a big book, extensively detailed. Even the table of contents provokes thought. Now, I’ve acquired a used hardcopy and am reading it. I’m going to hang on to this copy. I don’t want this history to ever be suppressed, although it has certainly been attempted.
–The Black Book of Communism, by Stephane Courtois, translated by Jonathan Murphy.
 
What’s Going on in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life, by Lise Eliot, Ph. D.

Very fascinating, so far!
 
I read Catholic Digest & Two Liguori Magazines

I’m currently reading “A wrinkle in time” by: Madeleine L’Engle

Also reading or I should say reflecting and Praying (for Lent) with “Mary’s way of the Cross” by Richard G. Fury, C.S.s.R.

and

“To Calvary with Mary” by: Anthea Dove

Happy reading to one and all and God bless,

Jane Eyre/ Charlotte Bronte. I’ve read it once a few years ago, but with the new movie coming out I wanted to read it again to see how they follow the story.

The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest/ Stieg Larsson. Lovin’ this series. It is so well written.

Water for Elephants/ Sara Gruen. Read it last year, but again, I want to read it before the movie comes out next month.

Next month I plan on rereading the Southern Vampire Mysteries series, before the 11th book comes out in May.
 
I am just starting to read Angel of Death Row by Andrea D. Lyon. Haveing worked in Medium and Maximum Security prisons and being against the Death Penalty this should be a very interesting read.
