i read a book a few weeks ago that I DO NOT RECOMMEND…it had euthanasia in it…luckily it was a free kindle book so I didn’t lose any money…Avoid Leota’s garden at all costs. I deleted it from my Kindle after I reread the part to confirm it…

I am rereading Rome Sweet Rome and recently purchased Mass of the Early Christians by Mike Aquliana (sp?) for my Kindle. Really want to find more good books for my Kindle…
 
I am reading “The Demonologist” …the life story, (career) of Ed & Lorraine Warren. I was a little hesitant prior to purchase, (especially about the price 17.00), but I no longer have any concerns. This was a truly devoted couple to their faith and this odd field of work.
I find that I have to bless myself with holy water before and after reading each night.
(Just a precaution) !!

can’t say I blame you…:eek:

I’ve got about four books with bookmarks (ok, a corner of a piece of paper) but it’s been so long since I started them I don’t remember what happened, so I’ll have to start over!

current library book (haven’t picked it up in two weeks, though) is “hirohito and the making of modern japan.” it’s quite interesting and I think is the first book on him written since the japanese gvt made many papers public.
 
I recently began “Mother Angelica’s Private and Pithy Lessons from the Scriptures” by Raymond Arroyo. It’s very good so far and I’m sure it will be excellent for help in meditating on the Scriptures. I borrowed this from the library, so I’ve set aside “True Devotion to the Virgin Mary” for now.
 
Im still reading “The Demonologist” by Brittle and still blessing with holy water each reading…very un-nerving… Godspeed to all…Luke
 
Not really books but Catholic Magazines and booklets.

AnthonyM2- I would love to read that book.
 
@ goforgoal…“The Demonologist” is a very good book. Ive read many books on the subject. The amazing thing about this subject is that, in spite of the overwhelming evidence, in spite of what the bible says, there still remains a significant percentage of folks that dont believe that the devil exists and many of them are catholics and some are catholic priests and catholic bishops. This achievement by the devil was an intended one. If your going to read about demonology I would suggest reading the above book and also; “The Rite”. If were going to be effective soldiers of the Church Militant we need to know who the enemy is.
I was able to find a copy of “The Demonologist” online for $17.00
you can pick up “The Rite” for about $12.00…Godspeed…Luke

ps…and keep a good supply of holy water nearby !
 
I am currently in the middle of reading Justice Clarence Thomas’ memoir, “My Grabdfather’s Son”. I find it moving, and I am intrigued by Justice Thomas’ faith and the role it has played in his life. His relationship with his grandfather is very intriging to me. So far, I find it a wonderful read.
 
jeanne71350- Are you enjoying “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis?
I have to admit when I read this book I didn’t really understand it so I went online for an explanation and when I found an explanation – this book was fascinating–and one that makes a person think.

LukeSr- Thank you for taking the time to explain the book “The Demonologist” Although, I don’t recall asking or making any comments about it? :confused:

I do have a couple questions for you Is this book of the Occult? or Catholic?

God bless,
goforgoal
 
@goforgoal…oopps…please accept apology. I see now that I misread the comment you made as it was for anthonyM2…but to answer your questions, No… The Demonologist’s is not “of” the occult seclusively. It’s about the life’s work of two Catholics, Ed & Loraine Warren, (Demonologists), who began investigating “haunted houses” and soon found themselves uncovering what Catholic Priest’s have known for centuries; demons exist and they hate God’s children…(big difference between ghosts and demons). I somehow ended up on this book after exploring the subject of demonology and our mother church which began with; “Exorcism and The Church Militant” by Fr. Euteneuer. I mentioned “The Rite” because it’s a true story, (the book, not the movie) about a Catholic Priest who trains to become an exorcist. The whole subject, demonology, is quite facinating as most of us didnt know there was a difference between a ghost and demon. Hope I answered your questions. Godspeed…LukeSr

ps…I try to steer clear of ouija boards and seances…
 
The Robot Novels: The Caves of Steel / The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov
 
all the low carb diabetic diet research I can find.

have Jane on the kindle all ready for vacation
 
“Looking for China: Reflections on a silk road” by: Judy Schultz
 
Im reading; “God Wants You Happy” by Father Jonathan Morris
sub-titled…From Self-Help To God’s-Help
very good so far…Fr Morris is a Fox News contributer and the book is about how theses self help books are usually just a quick fix with no lasting fruit and how realizing our God given potential and an intimate relationship with Him is the answer…Just started reading it so I will post more later …Luke
 
I started reading “Jesus of Nazareth Part II” by Pope Benedict XVII. It’s very interesting so far, of course I’m sure it will be as good or better than the first one. As I said, I just started and it may take me a while to get through it all.

Also on the side, for pleasure reading, I’ve begun “Infernal: A Repairman Jack Novel” by F. Paul Wilson.
 
Just finished Andrew Breitbart’s book, RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION: EXCUSE ME WHILE I SAVE THE WORLD. Breitbart is a good and decent man who has been very influential in the new media in exposing lies & cover ups of the old media & more. Also read, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson’s book, SCAM How the Black Leadership Exploits Black Americans. Rev. Peterson’s organization is B.O.N.D. Their purpose is “Rebuilding the family by Rebuilding the man”. Wonderful organization led by a courageous and principled man born on a plantaion in Alabama.
 
Currently: Lost in Shangri-La by Mitchell Zuckoff
Inside cover:
On May 13, 1945, twenty-four American servicemen and WACs boarded a transport plane for a sightseeing trip over “Shangri-La,” a beautiful and mysterious valley deep within the jungle-covered mountains of Dutch New Guinea. Unlike the peaceful Tibetan monks of James Hilton’s best-selling novel Lost Horizon, this Shangri-La was home to spear-carrying tribesmen, warriors rumored to be cannibals.

But the pleasure tour became un unforgettable battle for survival when the plane crashed. Miraculously, three passengers pulled through. Margaret Hastings, barefoot and burned, had no choice but to wear her dead best friend’s shoes. John McCollom, grieving the death of his twin brother also aboard the plane, masked his grief with stoicism. Kenneth Decker, too, was severely burned and suffered a gaping head wound.

Emotionally devastated, badly injured, and vulnerable to the hidden dangers of the jungle, the trio faced certain death unless they left the crash site. Caught between man-eating headhunters and enemy Japanese, the wounded passengers endured a harrowing hike down the mountainside - a journey into the unknown that would lead them straight into a primitive tribe of superstitious natives who had never before seen a white man - or woman.

Drawn from interviews, declassified U.S. Army documents, personal photos and mementos, a survivor’s diary, a rescuer’s journal, and original fim footage, Lost in Shangri-La recounts this incredible true-life adventure for the first time…
