Simply wonderful!

An Excellent book for Catholics.

In spite of her unbearable suffering from a damaged spine, Mother Angelica seems unflappable as she conducts media interviews and markets her convent's line of dried peanuts, having fully made good on the new Alabama monastery's enormous debt. On the horizon: the EWTN years, and the back-to-basics wisdom that is born in the clear vision of fully accepting her aging into declining health.

Sister Angelica is elevated to the title of Mother Angelica in 1960, at the tender age of 37, and construction of her new monastery in Alabama is approved by Rome, even as her pain and discomfort after a botched spinal operation rises to new, dangerous extremes.

The King’s Grace appointed a Dean to administer the affairs of the Cathedral, and Canons, lay clerks and choristers to preach and sing the services. During the reign of the Montagues there had been an outbreak of the plague... The people had felt that there was a curse upon the city because the monks had been driven away, but now that the men of God were back... Hope was reborn and men went to work with a will.

What an incredibly tough life! But she was MEANT to overcome all the odds. Beautiful, hard-hitting biography.

You know, we guys can become half vampire, half teddy bear. How does a gal tame our Vampire Side?

Easy: by love. And this is a wonderful suspense/love story about doing just that!

Flatland is in Anytown, Anywhere in our modern dumbed-down, homogenized world for this clear-sighted satirist. Why CAN'T we recover our Full, Three Dimensional Humanity? Simple. That is expressly forbidden to us Flatlanders!

A MIRACULOUS read, if you’re serious about your life and death!

A riveting, nerve-grinding, unending, and ulimately uplifting longing for home, from the wonderful Christian existentialist Frederick Buechner.

My New audiobook!

A bull's-eye hit on the Woke World!

An enthusiastic and ENERGIZING book for us seniors! The audio book is GREAT.

Such a Supremely Sensitive coming of age novel from my favourite Ottawa author!

A trenchantly insightful work!

I simply CAN’T GET ENOUGH of this fabulous writer!

This is my brain when, at the end of one of my seniors’ desultory days of half-thought, snippets of this or that arcane reading of isolated passages from various favourite books, patches of jazz or postmodern soundscapes, sunshine spotted with cloud and necessary non-discretionary tasks around the house, I clear my mind -

And EXHALE.

LOVE this gal’s writing!!!

For all its aura of mystery, this is an eminently sensible book!

Simply wonderful! Ms Pym scores hit after hit of her sunny but sharp wit.

Lewis fabricates an objectively quite credible race of animal-like, rational-minded aliens with their own language. The astronaut, a linguist, tries to make sense of its meaning....

A murky postmodernist novel about the severe trauma of memory loss in a shadowy French man named Guy Rolland. Rolland, like the writer, was at the time trying to reconnect the dots of his disjointed past...

An Awesome book of supernatural stories…

Words to LIVE by!

Like a beautiful light meringue!

A Spooky and Convicting Jewel of a Book! Written very much in the style of Colin Wilson - relaxing and engaging to read - it will beguile many an idle hour.

PHENOMENAL novel! Love it.

Great read, about the supernatural world of Purgatory.
