Dickens-Mania: The Pickwick Papers and more

Last updated on: December 4, 2014 at 12:17 pm By Julie Davis

The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens My rating: 4 of 5 stars As I continue my discovery of Charles Dickens I thought it would be interesting to go to the book that brought him original acclaim. This was combined with a desire for light reading, which every commenter agrees is what one gets from The Pickwick Papers. I also read G.K. Chesterton’s commentary on the novel which points out that, for a comic novel, it has a great deal of... Read more

App Review – Divine Office 2

Last updated on: December 3, 2014 at 7:06 pm By Jeff Miller

Ever since I abandoned the 4-Volume set of the Liturgy of the Hours for mobile app versions I am still always on the prowl for newer apps and updates. The original entry in this field was iBreviary by Fr. Padrini. While good enough I was never happy with the daily update mechanism and the app itself has not been updated for a year and a half. I had been interested in the Universalis app, but at almost $30 dollars at... Read more

Book Review – Behold Your Mother

Last updated on: December 3, 2014 at 5:32 pm By Jeff Miller

After listening to Tim Staples for many years on Catholic Answers I was always hoping he would finally get around to writing a book. He has produced lots of audio CDs along with one book containing a collection of his excellent columns in This Rock (now renamed) magazine. So I finally got my wish with Behold Your Mother – A Biblical and Historical Defense of the Marian Doctrines. The Marian doctrines and the high place Mary occupies for Catholics was... Read more

Book Review – The Glory of the Crusades

Last updated on: December 2, 2014 at 6:43 pm By Jeff Miller

I’ve read some books on the history of the Crusades and it is a rather fascinating chapter of Church history. It is kind of like the Facebook relationship status “It’s complicated.” Yet as interesting as the history of the Crusades is, it is usually a history that was filtered and altered down to us as a synonym of evil. In a Robert Heinlein book I recently read the Crusades were put on the same par as the Holocaust. So when... Read more
