Books Read In The Past Week

Books read for the first time are marked with a #

Books, (except Sunday books) are grouped by author, and not necessarily in the order read.

"Love God And Do What You Please"

by St. Alphonsus Liguori

adapted by M. J. Huber

[spiritual reading]
a favorite of mine; thank God it wasn't one of the books
lost when I moved!
(I'm stretching this book out over as many Sundays as I can; and
when I finish, I may very well start reading it all over again! :)  )

"Deathbed Conversions #
Finding Faith at the Finish Line"
by Karen Edmisten
[multiple biography]
(Kindle book)

"Tom Playfair

or Making a Start" 

by Fr. Francis J. Finn, S.J.
[children's fiction]

(reading online)

{Sunday books}

Bible books(s) read this week:

"Isaiah"
"The Gospel According to Luke"

"Goodbye My Friends"
{carried over from last week}

"All Because of Raizy"

by Miriam L. Elias

[children's fiction, Jewish]


"The Diamond in the Window"
"The Swing in the Summerhouse"
"The Astonishing Stereoscope"
by Jane Langton
[fiction, fantasy, ages 10 and up]
I like the stories, but unfortunately
the author writes erroneously about
the doctrine of the Real Presence
in "The Astonishing Stereoscope."
What's worst of all is that the character
speaking erroneously is a priest.
I'm planning to address this in a review
on amazon.com, but it could take awhile.
After all, it is understandable that a non-Catholic
could be mistaken about Catholic doctrine.




"Freckle-Face-Frankel"
by Leota Harris Keir
[children's fiction, Jewish (Conservative) themes]


"Brenda, Her School and Her Club" #
by Helen Leah Reed
[YA fiction]

Planned Parenthood Sued for Doing Abortion on Raped 13-Year-Old, Returning Her to Rapist

Planned Parenthood Sued for Doing Abortion on Raped 13-Year-Old, Returning Her to Rapist

 This is disgusting, but not really surprising. They don't care if a minor is being sexually abused.
Their business is KILLING THE UNBORN, not protecting victims.

Abortion Activist: “So What if Abortion Ends a Life? I’m Still for Abortion”

Abortion Activist: “So What if Abortion Ends a Life? I’m Still for Abortion”

What a sad attitude towards the lives of the innocent unborn.

Sunday Books Revisited

This is taken from an older post. New material is in blue.
On Sundays, (and that means from Evening Prayer 1 to Evening Prayer 2), I put aside whatever non-Catholic book or books I may be reading. On Sunday, I read only Catholic books.
The books can be fiction or non-fiction, but they absolutely MUST be something I'll want to carry into the next week. Dull, dry books are NOT welcome!
This may seem like a restriction, but it is actually an enhancement of the most beautiful, precious day of the week. And, as a bonus, I find that I enjoy the non-Catholic books all the more for having put them aside for a day.
I stopped doing this for awhile; that is, while there were some books I read ONLY on Sundays, I decided that any good, wholesome book was suitable for Sunday.   Now, however, I've decided to go back to reading ONLY Catholic books on Sundays.
I'd like to make it clear that I do not consider it a sin to read non-Catholic books on Sunday.  This is a matter of personal preference.
