My computer skills are limited to the text box used for blogging.
I began a Facebook page for the purpose of publicizing the release of A Lost Shepherd.
Please do me a favor and click on the Facebook box at the left and help spread the word!
(apologies to the two people who 'liked' the Facebook account from yesterday..that info has been lost)
God Bless

Here We Go--What's on Your Reading List?
Let's get back into some blogging shall we?
How's this for a start?
I came across the above book in the midst of re-organizing a parish library.
I made a copy of the book's cover--as soon as the copy was produced the machine quit working! (seriously, the repairman was in today)
At one point, as the pastor and I weeded through the piles of books, I remarked how everything has been said at one time or another. We reinvent the wheel about every 20 years--theologically and spiritually. Pick up the writings of St. Augustine, or St. Theresa of Avila, or St. Alphonse Liguori--and you will have a 'way' to holiness. You don't need some pop psychology/theology approach.
But we complicate the obvious.
Treat yourself--pick up a spiritual classic.
My lovely wife recently completed The Poem of the Man God by Maria Valtorta.
On her recommendation I began with volume one a couple weeks back. All I can say is I wished I had read this back in seminary. I am well aware of the controversy surrounding The Poem and I suggest the reader take a look at the above link concerning the Church's stance. As recent events in the life of the church have shown--the greatest threat to the church is certainly not The Poem of the Man God.
