An Essential Book for Your Spiritual Library

Revisado: 06-22-24

I have read many books on religion and spirituality from the early Church Father’s to Henri Nouwen, Karl Rahner, Ron Rolheiser, Richard Rohr, Peter Kreeft, CS Lewis, Benedict’s Groeschel and others. This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper, more fruitful spiritual life. It is for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. O’Brien draws on wisdom from Catholic and Non-Catholic thinkers and writers. The book is deep, yet easy to read. There are layers and layers of insight. Accordingly, it is appropriate for wherever you are in your spiritual journey. It is a classic and not to be missed for those seeking a better life and a closer relationship with God.

Who Thought Eric Metaxas was Catholic?

Revisado: 04-25-24

The focus on the courage Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer who vocally opposed Adolf Hitler was well done and very interesting. However, the most surprising element of the book was the emphatic rejection of the Protestant doctrine of “faith alone” and the powerful articulation of the Catholic view of what “faith” actually means. The book is a call for religious people in America to speak out and oppose the evil around us.

A Slow Moving Account of the Korean War

Roland us a good author and historian but this book moves very slowly and it is an effort to get through it.

An enjoyable book

Revisado: 11-18-22

Taking Berlin is a very good book on the subject. The author does a very good job at bringing the conflict to life through the words of Generals Patton, Gavin and Rommel, journalist Martha Gelhorn (Ernest Hemingway’s wife), Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. The author weaved in the political complexities and concessions made by General Eisenhower. Eisenhower himself comes off as a buffoon more concerned about soothing British egos than victory.

Op-Center hits a Speed Bump

Revisado: 06-20-22

I have long been a fan of the Op-Center series. This latest installment was mildly entertaining but incredibly unrealistic.

For those interested in the Civil War, this book is a very good overview. The book proceeds in chronological order and the narrator was very good.

Another strong book about China’s elite

Revisado: 01-12-22

This is a very enjoyable and eye opening book. The story moves fast and the reader is fantastic. The main characters get caught up in their success and convince themselves that they are safe in a lawless country where raw power rules. Only too late does the main character realize the danger that any outsider to the Red Aristocracy faces day to day.
