This is a simple and bold restatement of the relationship between faith and reason. The main enemy of this book and rightly so is Heidegger. And here Possenti is at his best. He makes mincemeat out of Heidegger.

This book should be distributed by bishops throughout North America and should be memorized by seminary students. It is simply that good.

That this book was not translated and published by a Catholic Press is a scandal. Maybe they will take their cue from this book and give us more works by Possenti. And at the same time they should undertake the translation of the works of Del Noce and Fabro, two italian giants who are virtually unknown here in North America. And from France, Tresmontant and Thibon.

Catholics need to know what their faith is about. They need to be able to protect themselves from Heideggerian Catholics and aging brats like Gary Wills and Hans Kung.

This picture book is an excellent resource for children of any grade level. The book gives an excellent portrayal of Paul Revere through the years. It really focuses on him as a person and the contributions he made to his family and to his country. The pictures are an excellent resource for ELD students as well as all students. I found this book to be very accurate, yet simplistic.

In Pilgrim Pathways: Essays In Baptist History In Honour Of B. R. White, William H. Brackney (principal of the Divinity College and professor of Historical Theology, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada), Paul S. Fiddes (principal of Regent's Park College and a member of the Faculty of Theology at University of Oxford), and John H. Y. Briggs (principal of Westhill College of Higher Education in Selly Oak, Birmingham) collaborate to assemble fifteen contributors whose outstanding essays in Baptist history comprise an enduring memorial to Barrington Raymond White, an ordained Baptist Minister in the Baptist Union of Great Britain and tutor in Ecclesiastical History at Regent's Park College, and elected Senior Research Fellow in Ecclesiastical History in the College, Pastor in the college community, and dedicated to enriching the training for students in the Christian ministry. Pilgrim Pathways is highly recommended, informative, rewarding reading for students of Christian studies in general, and Baptist history in particular.

The first poem that I read of his was "Shores of silence," a beautiful poem, very profound, and the best that I've ever read. The poetry of Pope John Paul II, should not be missed. You will most certainly gain much more from reading it. So I encourage you all to order it. Really, it is mesmerizing, and you won't be sorry.

This work by two investigative reporters is extremely interesting and well-written. How accurate it is I do not know, but I know thatI found it to be extremely absorbing reading. E.g.: The authors say that Cardinal Benelli had 70 votes and if he had gotten 75 he would have elected Pope. Since Benelli died Oct. 25, 1982, if he had been elected the whole history of this latter part of the 20th century would have been different!

This is a wonderful way to introduce your children to Pope John Paul II.

Richly illustrated by award-winning Italian comic book artists, the book tells the story of Pope John Paul through a grandfather and his grandchildren.

It includes Karol Wojtyla's childhood and early losses, years in the undergound seminary, skiing escapades, election as Pope, assassination attempt, and many other highlights.

The book also includes a wonderful timeline, list of papal trips, and photographs from the Holy Father's life at the end of the book.

Our own six-year-old son enjoys the book and asks to have it read to him often before bed time. I would recommend it to children ages 6 to 15.

What a real treat to have a beautiful monthly photograph of John Paul's historic and moving pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The calendar provides a great way to preserve this special moment of history, while also providing a helpful way to remember birthdays and anniversaries year after year. What I especially like about this calendar is that you can start using it any time of year, and, for that matter, in any year!

This short collection includes Letter to Women, several Angelus addresses, and other resources. Pope John Paul II on the Genius of Women makes an excellent supplement to Mulieris Dignitatem (English: On the Dignity and Vocation of Women) because the documents included offer more specific examples and applications of MD's teaching. If you're daunted by the size of Theology of the Body, or if you're just beginning to read Church documents on the dignity and vocation of women, this is a great place to start.

Last spring while visiting the mystical and beautiful hillside town of Assisi, Italy with my wife, we came upon an exhibit of photographs taken by Reuters photographers of Pope John Paul II displayed around a balcony above a beautiful courtyard by the basilica.

Wanting to move on with our afternoon, I reluctantly agreed to her request that we look at them, and we immediately became transfixed, not just by their colors, clarity and interesting poses of the Pope with various world figures, ordinary people, on his many journeys,etc.---but with the historic story they told of the now 25 years of his remarkable Pontificate and its impact not just on Catholics, but on the entire world. It is easy from the perspective of this new century to forget that just over a dozen years ago Poland and other great nations of eastern and central Europe were under Russia's heel---and it is due in no small part to this Pope that the evils of that communistic and repressive system fell in Warsaw, Prague, Berlin and ultimately Moscow itself.

So who could have predicted in 1978, 1989, or even in 2000 that a book chronicling this massive tidal wave of historic change, with excellent essays by its editor Phillip Pullella and others acting as a frame for the very special photos, would be published about the Pope reaching across national borders and political philosophies with forewords by the unlikely duo of Lech Walesa and Mikhail Gorbachev!

As we left the exhibit that day in Assisi, we commented to each other that the photographs deserved to be in a book for countless others who could not see them in person to enjoy. So even before seeing it I purchased several copies having a hunch it would be great, and it is the perfect book to have and to give as a gift. I have never written an Amazon (or any other)review before, but I am pleased and honored to do so for "Pope John Paul II:Reaching Out Across Borders."

I have read numerous books on the Blues and this one has shown me, in numerous, short and to the point descriptions and interviews, that this music will never die. It starts out with some background, then chronologically reaches out to the people who were influenced. A great book to start with because of the number of photos taken during the time that all of this was taking place. It even goes as far out to show you the influences on "white boys". Simply amazing.
