Literary Compass: Lord Darcy and Theology for Beginners

Favorite Podcasts

A book is a literary compass that has the potential to direct our thoughts and actions:

"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan

Welcome to my own personal exploration of life through reading the great books of the world.

Lord Darcy and Theology for Beginners

Things have gotten busy lately, so I just have time for a quick post. I'm bouncing between two books right now, Lord Darcy by Randall Garrett, and Theology for Beginners by Frank Sheed. I'm reading one for fun and the other as background for teaching religion to my eighth graders this coming school year. I'll let you decide which is which.

I have not read either of them before and they are both equally interesting, so my decision about which one to read at any given moment is mostly a matter of mood. Stay tuned for more about both books in the coming days.
