Stephen King has some kind words for a cousin of mine who happens to be a mystery writer.
Alice Von Hildebrand: The Privilege of Being a Woman
(*****)
Elizabeth Kuhns: The Habit: A History of the Clothing of Catholic Nuns
I never realized how complex nuns' habits could be! This book is, in a way, also a brief history of religious life. (****)
Eloi Leclerc: The Desert and the Rose: The Spirituality of Jeanne Jugan
Read this during my week-long visit with the Little Sisters of the poor. This tells of Jeanne Jugan's humility and grace during the last 20 years of her life. (*****)
G. K. Chesterton: Orthodoxy
"Thinking in isolation and with pride ends in being an idiot. Every man who will not have softening of the heart must at last have softening of the brain." (*****)
Genevieve Kineke: The Authentic Catholic Woman
Geneview Kineke explores how authentic femininity images the Church. This is not a sappy book! (*****)
Kathryn Lively: Pithed: An Andy Farmer Mystery
A short, entertaining, suspense novel. What should a good Catholic do in Andy Farmer's situation? (****)
Mother Mary Francis: A Right to Be Merry
Beautiful reflection on the contemplative religious life, with a hint of humor! (*****)
Raymond Arroyo: Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles
(*****)
