I once told a Benedictine nun she had a good sense of humor. She said, “See, we're people too.” Most women don't leave their personalities or their humanity at the door when they enter the cloister.

After reading his autobiography, I think the same thing could be said about Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. “Priests are people too,” he would say. Sheen's primary focus in writing the story of his life was neither to create a list of his accomplishments nor to impress a particular audience. Instead, Sheen's personable writing and frank tone draw the reader into the book and introduce them to an American, a priest, a child of God, and a new friend and brother in Christ.  (Read more)

Book written by: Bill Donohue. New York : Faith Words. 258 pages. Hardback. ISBN 978-0-446-54721-5. $26.99. September 2009.

Bill Donohue is the president of the Catholic League, an organization that strives to defend the Catholic Church against any kind of abuse. In his new book, Donohue reveals and explores the many ways that secularists and many liberals attack Christianity and Catholicism using examples from recent times. He notes that many of these secularists are nihilists who oppose any religious expression being allowed in the public. They want religion to be an extremely private thing although; a majority of Americans say they are Christian or belong to another religion.  (Read more)

Dr. Anne Hendershott, a former faculty member at the University of San Diego has recently released her new book, Status Envy: the Politics of Higher Education, in which she explains that Catholic higher education is distancing itself from Catholic teaching in order to keep up with its secular counterparts.

Book written by Rachel Campos-Duffy

Campos-Duffy’s light hearted "how-to" manual on stepping joyfully into the roll of stay at home mom is a welcome departure from the usual line up. Without a hint of self-righteousness, Campos-Duffy presents the notion of motherhood as the noblest of professions. Emphasizing her desire to provide for her family "spiritually, intellectually and practically," she explains in conversational style how being the parent-at-home doesn’t mean being the parent-without-the-job. (Read more)

Edward Sherman explores the life of Bl. Tekakwitha. While his writing does not delve into deep or difficult theology, it gives a broad coverage of the life of this heroic woman.  (Read more)
