Manual for Spiritual Warfare on sale!!=

Last updated on: February 5, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Jeff Miller

For the last several weeks, I’ve been carrying the beautiful leather bound edition of Manual for Spiritual Warfare with me to Mass, reading a few passages afterward. It’s loaded with spiritual advice from the saints and Church fathers on how to overcome temptation and defeat those... Read more

Book Review – Memoirs of a Happy Failure

Last updated on: January 21, 2015 at 5:58 pm By Jeff Miller

When I first came across Alice Von Hildebrand while watching Mother Angelica Live I was rapidly impressed with her. Her quick wit, intelligence, and common sense was a delight. Since then I have been interested in what she had to say. Around the same time I became acquainted with the works of her late husband Dietrich Von Hildebrand. I have by no means fully dipped into all his works, but I want to go further. His Transformation in Christ is... Read more

Book Review – Transforming Parish Communications

Last updated on: January 13, 2015 at 6:45 pm By Jeff Miller

My conversion to the faith and the rise of the Internet and social networking occurred in roughly the same time period. So my interest in this intersection regarding how it relates to the faith has been continually of interest to me. EWTN and Catholic Answers both had websites around 1996 and the Vatican came on board around 1998. If you look at the Vatican’s site circa 1998 it’s appearance hasn’t much changed. The year 2001 mostly marks the year specifically... Read more

Book Review: The Art of Roughhousing

Last updated on: January 7, 2015 at 9:04 pm By Joseph Reninger

They spend their free time typing or swiping or just watching. This is one way for kids to play, but is it the best way? Drs. Anthony DeBenedet and Lawrence Cohen present the case for a more dynamic and physically interactive way of playing in The Art of Roughhousing: Good Old-Fashioned Horseplay and Why... Read more

These Just In: Interesting Books for the New Year

Last updated on: January 6, 2015 at 1:51 pm By Julie Davis

Two devotionals arrived in a very timely fashion on New Year’s Eve. Obviously I haven’t had a chance to use either but they are both very appealing to my love of the saints and interest in the desert fathers. A Daily Catholic Moment: Ten Minutes a Day Alone With God by Peter Celano Simple, straightforward, and Catholic are the adjectives that might best describe this book of wisdom and spiritual practice. For each day you will find a verse or... Read more
