So…what’s the best book on…say…the Blessed Virgin Mary? or on Scripture? or on philosophy? or the best Catholic literature? Which is the best Bible translation and why?

I’ve put together a new free resource called the “Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan.” Over the years, I have read the good, the bad, and the ugly. Let me save you some time and filter it all down to the best of the best. The crème de la crème of theology books. It’s sorted by topic: Scripture, Philosophy, Mariology, etc.

An apology and a little favor to ask…

I always get uncomfortable when it comes to promoting books. There are literally 17,925 of you that get these regular updates from me and I don’t want to crowd your email box with things that sound like commercials. But I am so passionate about this new project and I think it could become important to you.

Speaking of books, please allow me to ask you to help me with something:

1) As you know Young Adult fiction for teens is becoming more sexualized and more morally confusing. The plots in teen books increasingly center on sex and the villains are sometimes the heroes. Young people need better reading options.

2) To answer this need, I have just published a Young Adult Catholic Historical Fiction Novel titled Sword and Serpent: A Retelling of Saint George and the Dragon.  This new book is a fun, wholesome foray into Roman history, martyrdom, and virtue that avoids being preachy or overly pious. It’s an epic that retells the legend of Saint George in a way that might surprise you.

3) This new novel Sword and Serpent has debuted as #1 in its category on amazon – thanks to you to the readers who have supported me in this endeavor. As of today it’s holding at #2. I would REALLY like to see a CLEAN Catholic Young Adult novel win the day, and I’d be grateful for any help you can give me: Please tell friends about the book, read a copy, or tell people on Facebook. My biggest supporters are you – my current readers at this blog. If you could please huddle around me and help me lift up this novel, I’d be really grateful.

4) Okay, end of book promo stuff. You guys are the best supporters and let me send out a special “thank you” to the hundreds of you that have already read Sword and Serpent, and have already written so many amazing views reviews on amazon.

Here’s a link to the book: Sword and Serpent – A Retelling of Saint George and the Dragon.

Saint George pray for us!!!
