Secrets and Lies

Just finishing SECRETS OF A SOUL …St. Padre Pio’s letters to his spiritual directors. This book gives a glimpse into the heart and soul of St.Pio and reveals his profound spirituality and humanity. These letters tell about his personal struggles, worries, temptations and fears. A MUST read!

Also, (couldn’t wait to start it) Mother Teresa’s Lessons of Love & Secrets of Sanctity by Susan Conroy. The story of a 21 year old girl who travels to Calcutta, India, alone, to assist the Missionaries of Charity. Definitely a book of love for your fellow man. Another MUST read!

Hate is the seed of death to one’s soul.

*The Slaughter of Cities: Urban Renewal As Ethnic Cleansing *by E. Michael Jones

How the WASP establishment used urban renewal as a means of forcing Catholics out of their city neighborhoods in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston.

The mass exodus to the suburbs following WWII did not just happen; it was orchestrated.

Detailed and fascinating…
 
Just found a really interesting book at the library.

1491 by Charles C. Mann

Subtitle is “new revelations of the americas before Columbus”

Contains MANY really interesting facts about such things as the sophistication of Indian agricultural practices. Fascinating book. I find myself skipping back and forth. Fabulous.

Also saw the author on CSPAN book TV recently.
 
As for me, currently I’m reading the BoM or Book of Mormon, and I’m almost done 2 Nephi! YEY!

I have a list of other religious texts that I must get done reading…
 
I will be going out on the front porch with my coffee in a few to wait for the delivery of SOUL WITHIN A PEACH by Florence Sau Kin. A catholic priest in this metro area, (70 +)and a teen convert from Buddhism stated in a radio interview this books author is his spiritual “mother” next to BVM. She has only a primary grade education and a Buddhist until the age of 35 when she converted to RC. This is her book and I am not sure if he helped her with it or not.
I love this thread. I take notes and then lose the note and then come back and take more notes . . .
 
This is a pretty neat thread. Love to keep it going.

Not a whole lot on Book TV this weekend. Well, not totally true. Newt was on, but we were away for a few hours and I forgot to set the DVR.

[sigh]
 
Picked up a used copy of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World/Brave New World Revisited today. May start reading it tonight.

I am reading a few new Leadership books on the Catholic Charismataic Renewal.
When I am finished, I will tell you if I recommend them.
 
I have gotten hooked on Ann Rule’s books. I am currently reading Green River, Running Red about the Green River serial killer in the 1980’s. These murders took place in Washington State several years after Ted Bundy’s serial killing spree in the 70’s.
 
Various ones, but most recently started Martin Amis’s memoir, “Experience.”
 
On CSPAN2 BookTV today, Alan Sears of the Alliance Defense Fund gave a talk about his new book, “The ACLU vs. America”

He gave the URL as www.acluversusamerica.com

Is anyone familiar with the ACLU or how it got started?

Thanks.

Right now about to begin St. Augustine’s Confessions, and reading *The Battle of Salamis: The Naval Encounter That Saved Greece–And Western Civilization * by Barry Strauss.

🙂

Note: edited a smiley.
 
In the Presence of the Lord: the History and Psychology behind Eucharistic Adoration. It’s an excellent read. I’m also reading a trashy mystery novel when my brain gets tired from reading the first book! :o
