Review:This book undermines extreme religious fundamentalism, and in doing so, Smith has an easy ride. It deserves 5 stars because Smith makes such a strong and worthy case against the narrow and intolerant attitudes and perspectives of fundamentalism. Yet undermining extreme fundamentalism and Biblical literalism, is by no mean the same as undermining the deeper Spirit and message of Christianity.
Smith comes nowhere near achieving this, and as it happens, Smith's perspective, attitudes and tone ar... Read more

Review:Around the same age as Maria, the book echoed many of my own thoughts, challenges, concerns and hopes. I also bought this book for two friends celebrating milestone birthdays and another for a retirement gift. Read more

Review:Good opportunity to look back myself and think about myself. Actually helpful for your development. Not directly about Christian and Jesus and Bible but we can feel the teaching of this book comes from those. Really good ! Read more

Review:Scott Hahn has it all over other Catholic authors. I love his works.

These books are a treasure to own and the prayers are an a... Read more

Review:Hilarious and clever. I normally plow through books but her use of language is delicious and must be savored. Page after page I think "that is brilliant!" I plan to read all her books by years end. For sure this one is a winner. Read more

Review:During my first night of reading this book, I closed it, turned to my husband, and said, "This book may be too smart for me." By that, of course, I meant that Patricia Lockwood may be too smart for me. She's incredibly witty and sharp, but suddenly somber at times you didn't realize you needed her to be. She definitely knows way more about everything than you (no offense, I bet you're also really smart, fellow reader) and somehow her words on the page are faster than my thoughts, despite the fac...

Review:Matthew Kelly shows what differentiates engaged Catholics from the rest, and it s quite simple: Prayer, spiritual reading, generosity, and evangelization. It all starts with prayer, regular daily prayer. Read more
