Feasts of Judaism by Stephen J. Binz

Last updated on: March 15, 2014 at 8:21 am By Julie Davis

Feasts of Judaism by Stephen J. Binz My rating: 5 of 5 stars Catholics hear a lot about how the Jewish people are their “elder brothers in the faith.” Other than reading the Old Testament aloud every Sunday, however, you aren’t given a lot of backup for this statement. Some similarities in worship are obvious but a lot of the Jewish faith remains a mystery. That’s why I was so interested in Stephen Binz’s book The Feasts of Judaism. I... Read more

Just Married by Dr. Greg and Lisa Popcak

Last updated on: March 13, 2014 at 2:15 pm By Julie Davis

Just Married: The Catholic Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the First Five Years of Marriage by Gregory K. Popcak My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is now the book I’m going to give newlyweds. I wish we’d had it when we got married. I wasn’t religious at all then and my husband was not a practicing Catholic. Nevertheless, I stand by that. It would have helped us tremendously. I don’t like self-help books generally but this one is... Read more

Win a “CATHOLICISM” Trip to Rome and Paris

Last updated on: March 12, 2014 at 12:06 pm By Julie Davis

I’m a real fan of Father Robert Barron’s book Catholicism (my review here). When my husband and I helped with RCIA last year, they were using the DVD series to supplement the classes and we fell in love with those as well. I am delighted to see how well the book has done (over 100,000 copies sold!). I’m even more delighted to see that this has prompted a sweepstakes for a trip to Rome and Paris. Wow, talk about a...

This Just In — Jesus: A Pilgrimage by James Martin

Last updated on: March 6, 2014 at 10:42 am By Julie Davis

Jesus: A Pilgrimage by James J. Martin I am a fan of Father James Martin’s books, especially A Jesuit on Broadway. When Scott chose this book for our next religious book discussion at A Good Story is Hard to Find podcast, I was on board, having been interested since I first saw it mentioned at Amazon. This gave me the impetus to seriously hunt down review copies and mine arrived yesterday. On Ash Wednesday. Ok, I can take a hint.... Read more

Lenten Reading Ideas

Last updated on: February 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm By Julie Davis

I have no clue what I’m going to read for Lent. Usually I choose something special but I may just keep going with my current book, The Medium and the Light: Reflections on Religion and Media by Marshall McLuhan. Yes, you read that right. It’s by “the medium is the message” Marshall McLuhan who happened to be a devout Catholic convert. Who knew? Not me. Luckily a pal thrust this book into my hands one evening and was so enthusiastic... Read more

Review: Lent at Ephesus

Last updated on: February 26, 2014 at 5:43 pm By Jeff Miller

If you own or have heard either of the two albums by “Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles” then all you need to know is that Lent at Ephesus is now available. Otherwise if you are unaware of their recordings it is certainly time to acquaint yourself with them. At the end of 2012 they released Advent at Ephesus and in 2013 Angels and Saints at Ephesus. These two albums both spent some time at the top of Billboard traditional... Read more

Review: The Romance of Religion

Last updated on: February 24, 2014 at 8:12 pm By Jeff Miller

Fr. Dwight Logenecker’s new book The Romance of Religion: Fighting for Goodness, Truth, and Beauty is somewhat of a sequel to his previous book Adventures in Orthodoxy. Being that the previous books is one of my favorites I was very happy to see this book. Fr. Longenecker was kind enough to send me an advance copy of this book last year and I found it quite excellent. Recently I was sent a PDF copy of the final book to review... Read more

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

Last updated on: February 21, 2014 at 11:25 am By Julie Davis

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was raised to marry a monster. How’s that for a first line? From that moment we are immersed in a world which has been ripped out of time, suffering a curse which Nyx has been pledged from birth to break by marriage to the demon lord Ignifex. When she finds Ignifex is not simply what he seems on the surface, she is torn between her vow to her... Read more

The Immediate Book Meme – Julie’s Answers

DarwinCatholic’s got a book meme. That means I’m playing. (Jen played too.) With the caveat that I’m always reading too many books simultaneously. Here we go! There are plenty of memes that want to know all about your book history and your all-time greats and your grand ambitions, but let’s focus on something more revealing: the books you’re actually reading now, or just read, or are about to read. Let’s call it The Immediate Book Meme. 1. What book are... Read more
