Historia
The First World War laid waste to a continent and brought about the end of innocence — and the end of faith. Unlike a generation of young writers who lost faith in the God of the Bible, however, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis found that the Great War deepened their spiritual quest. Both men served as soldiers on the Western Front, survived the trenches, and used the experience of that conflict to ignite their Christian imagination.

Brought tears to my eyes
Revisado: 05-18-24
This book gives depth and meaning to the stories of Tolkien and Lewis that I had missed before. The stories of humble soldiers and kings, of evil and redemption, and lifelong friendships. If you love the stories of Lewis and Tolkien, or want to find some meaning in all the wars and darkness about us, this book is for you.

Historia
The sacrament of Matrimony is under diabolical attack. While it is easy to blame the outside world for the demise of marriage, we must look at what has been happening inside the Church. The number of marriages have dwindled over the past five decades and annulments have skyrocketed. Many in Church leadership have been indifferent to these alarming trends and to marriage itself. Matrimony is rarely referenced during homilies, pre-Cana programs are often disastrous, and seminaries spend little time studying the sacrament of Matrimony.

Best book on holy matrimony in an anti- marriage culture. Everything needed to be said is said. Love never ends.

Historia
From Jordan Belfort, The Wolf of Investing offers “concrete insights and advice” (Booklist) on when to buy, sell, hold, and cash out; how to make smarter (and safer) investments; and how to build significant wealth over both the short- and long-term. Unlike traditional investment books, Jordan’s lessons, colorful stories, and principles entertain you with the charismatic swagger portrayed so famously on the screen by Leonardo DiCaprio. Belfort teaches you everything you need to know about savvy investing—even if whatever stock you’ve touched has turned to yesterday’s trash.

Caution: Wallstreet Ahead
Revisado: 02-28-24
Great cautionary tale about all the shenanigans going on on Wallstreet. Best not to play the game, and focus on time instead of the Wallstreet casino. Great advice.

Historia
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Easing the burden
Revisado: 11-21-23
As a husband, father, single income earner, I am constantly tempted to stress about my stocks every day in relation to an uncertain future. I enjoyed this almost "stoic" approach to money, knowing that most things are unpredictable, and only specific unpredictable events make an impact on markests, and people are very poor forecasters of the markets and the world at large. This should help me a little more to sleep well at night.

Historia
In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.

Revisado: 11-05-23
Preferred pronouns, top and bottom surgery justifications, pointless story jumping around trying to find a plot, deeply disappointed. No wonder it is free. Only listened to it because Brandon Frazier is in it.

Historia
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

But a good story. Mankind united in suffering. the more poor a man, the more charitable he is, as can be seen from the last, and most uncomfortable act of charity in the story.

Revisado: 03-27-22
This is a must read/listen after you are finished with Tolkien's books. Masterfully done, this book put into words what my heart felt while flying through the pages of the Hobbit and mostly the LoR. Fantastic work, Mark Eddy Smith.

Revisado: 09-15-21
I couldn't have enjoyed this book when I was younger. No action, no thrills, no nail-biting cliffhangers. Nevertheless, it's a story about the human person and our choices, our will. It's a story about us all.

Historia
The book probes the possible roles of four brothers in the unresolved murder of their father, Fyodor Karamazov. At the same time, it carefully explores the personalities and inclinations of the brothers themselves. Their psyches together represent the full spectrum of human nature, the continuum of faith and doubt. Ultimately, this novel seeks to understand the real meaning of faith and existence and includes much beneficial philosophical and spiritual discussion that moves the reader towards faith.

Attention!
Revisado: 01-25-21
Pay attention. A lot of spiritual truths in this book of spiritual warfare. We are all wicked! Like so many, I had to pay close attention to the many Russian names. We are all more or less Demetre at times, Alyosha some other times, torn like Ivan, scoundrels like their father. And many of us, though "innocent of blood" still carry murder in our hearts. Pray God is merciful! This book is worthy of your read or listen.
