A Friendship Like No Other: Experiencing God's Amazing Embrace
William A. Barry
Loyola Press, 2008
Simple and compelling metaphor
It is easy to get lost or confused when trying to love God or feel loved by God. Religions provide so many rules. Father Barry gives us a simple metaphor, a loving relationship. He asks us to consider how much we live as if God is out to punish us; he urges us toward ...

A Jesuit Off-Broadway
James Martin
Loyola Press, 2007
Another Great Work from James Martin!
While strikingly different from his previous work, both in subject and method, this book about his experience working with the cast and crew of an off-broadway show called the "Last Days of Judas Iscariot," is phenomenal. It has been a while since I last read one of ...

My Life With the Saints
James Martin
Loyola Press, 2007
I'm a Saint in the Making
I love this book for two reasons:
1. It makes the saints acessible.
2. It makes religious life, like James Martin's, sound exciting and, dare I say, FUN!
1) It makes saints accessible. They are unique - each with their own faults (mostly the dudes). I feel like I ...

Amy Welborn
Loyola Press, 2003
Great content and tone
The writing style in this book is one in which the author has a conversation about the who's and why's of the saints with the reader. Solidly Catholic and different enough in style to make it appealing to even reluctant readers. We read a lot of saint stories, but ...

One of Kazantzakis most passionate books
I am pleased to find that a number of reviewers find this book life-changing. It presents the entire anguish of human being, and it is the book that describes one of the highest concerns of Kazantzakis, an issue that he deals on several other books, but never with such ...
