from Ignatius Press…

Dear and Glorious Physician,
by Taylor Caldwell -

H/T: Mom:-)

Growing up, this book, (one
of my mother’s favorites) - about
St. Luke, was practically required
reading.

It has been out-of-print for a
while
now, so it’s great to see Ignatius Press
making it available again.

An Amazon Review

rhapsody May 17th, 2008


I wrote (& rewrote!) is up for a new
book of poetry:

Divining Divinity, By Joseph Pearce,

and illustrated by

Jef Murray, whose work can be seen
at his site,
Mystical Realms.


Omigoodness, I can’t believe how
many times I edited it (add a word
here, a comma there - sheesh! writing
isn’t easy!)…

Well, poor writing skills aside, I
wanted to like this book, and
do
indeed. It is what I expected in
its subject and to some degree, in
its substance, although at times
the pictures it evokes are startling -
especially since one can tell the
person behind the pen is writing
from the vantage point of God’s
grip.

Very well done, Gentlemen!

to view Dawn’s appearance on
the Today Show can catch it
here…

Dawn already wrote words of
praise for the network - I’m a
bit disappointed that she didn’t
appear alone, but after having
taken on
Yale last month, it’s
obvious she’s no lightweight.

More follow-up later today
from
The Dawn Patrol, with
a list of her upcoming tour
dates (including one in May
at the Seattle Chesterton
Society) listed
here.

What is the criteria

rhapsody February 7th, 2008

for getting books reviewed by
the New York Times?

As posted below, Joseph Pearce,
editor and author of many
biographies on, among others,
Alexander Solzhenitsyn and
Oscar Wilde, is coming out
with another book in April,
The Quest for Shakespeare.

It can’t be that the NYT
hasn’t heard of these men…

So what’s the problem?
