The latest in a occasional series of book recommendations...
"Fond of beer in swarthy nooks, but happiest among his books!"
Just arrived in my mailbox (actually on my front doorstep) - the hefty BIBLE DICTIONARY, edited by Scott Hahn. Flipping through it last night revealed a treasure-trove of great insight that will be helpful for anyone who is interested in enhancing their Bible reading and study. Dr. Hahn does not write a book each week -it only seems like it! Would make a great gift for yourself, a family member or your favorite priest.
Also, Flannery: A Life of Flannery O'Connor by Brad Gooch. This most Catholic of authors certainly deserved a newer biography of her remarkable life. Her novels and short stories are profound and distinctive, but even more impressive is her great witness to the Faith despite her desperate illness. A powerful role model for those of us who think we're having a bad day when the cell phone drops a call or our DVR cuts off a program before it has ended! Talk about authentic Christian perseverance!
The Death of A Pope by Piers Paul Read The great English novelist has penned another sensational novel. If you haven't read anything by this man (What a name for a writer!) you will benefit by reading any of his works that include non-fiction accounts of Chernobyl, an Andean Mountain airplane crash and novels on many topics.
