Highly Recommended

I found a book this early afternoon while browsing a local shop and have spent the past two hours devouring it! I would like to recommend it to 1) all Catholics who are engaged in apologetic and apostolic work, and 2) to all non Catholics (especially Evangelicals) who hold to disparaging ideas about the Church’s role in history.
The book is “How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization”, by Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph. D. In the book Dr. Woods does exactly as his title proclaims - he shows by clear, well-documented examples that, indeed, the best of Western Civilization is built upon the principles, insights, and doctrines of the Catholic Church. He lays to rest many of the negative myths and misconceptions about the Church. Inspiring, informative read. Get it, folks; you won’t be sorry.

    My library had this book on CD. I enjoyed it very much!

    Speaking of “apologetic and apostolic work”…WHEN ARE WE GONNA REOPEN OUR ROOM ON PAL TALK??!! I have had MANY folks there say it was the BEST Catholic room there. I’m more than willing to do Compline there. People enjoyed that.

    Hobbit - Please open it up soon! I truly miss the fellowship we all had in that room. I’ll even help run it if need be, but it definitely needs to make a comeback.

    Hey Greg!
    OK…you and I should make it our mission. ;) I miss talking to everyone! But we gotta make it a group effort, you know. Oh, and please keep my health in your prayers (everyone). Thanks!
