Reading the Great Books from a Catholic Point of View
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.
"Every soul that uplifts itself uplifts the world." --Elisabeth Leseur
Mark at the ReadySteadyBlog asks:"A favor: do any readers know of a good theological/philosophical book on the (Christian) concept of grace? Any tip-offs? Thanks so much."So far he's only got one response, What's so Amazing about Grace, by Philip Yancey. If you can help him out, please visit ReadySteadyBlog and leave your comments. Labels: catholic |
