The Remains of an Altar (Merrily Watkins Mysteries)
3 reviews
Phil Rickman
Quercus
, 2007
"The trees are singing my music. Or have I sung theirs?"
Merrily Watkins, Ledwardine parish priest and Deliverance Consultant (exorcist) for the Diocese of Hereford is stretched very thin in this eighth installment of a series that started with "The Wine of Angels" in 1998. Drugs, traffic accidents, and a ghost (possibly of composer Edward Elgar and his faithful bicycle, Phoebus) haunt the pages of this book. Rickman's subplots are just as engrossing ...

Louis L'Amour
Bantam
, 1990
Amazing depth
Most people know L'Amour as a strictly Western writer. However, I have owned this book of poetry for about 6 or 7 years, and it continues to amaze me. The variety of poetical styles is impressive. There are humorous anecdotes in poem form, love poems, and haunting poems of wanderlust. Naturally, there are a lot of poems addressing wanderlust, seeing as it was a driving force in L'Amour's ...

A Different Perspective on the English Reformation
"The Stripping of the Altars", Eamon Duffy's erudite, meticulous yet flowing analysis of what he refers to as "traditional religion" in England in the years from 1400 to 1580 is a masterpiece of scholarship and also of presentation. Professor of the History of Christianity at Cambridge University, he states in his preface to the second edition (the book was originally published in 1992) that his ...

My Life is Again With God
Where do I start with a book of this calibre!!! I have been a christian for 10 years now and I have had a troublesome life, in terms of my brother dying and my mother having a breakdown... I can go on but I don't wanna bore you to death. Since these tragic events took place, I was not the same person. I basically fell head over hells into depression and I did not realize it until later on in ...

Steps to the Altar (Benni Harper Mystery)

One of the Best
I am an avid mystery reader and the Benni Harper series is one of the best. Reading the books in order allows the reader to see the growth of Benni Harper in all aspects of her life, but you don't need to do this to enjoy a Benni Harper mystery. It's clear Ms. Fowler has a strong faith in God and is able to bring this to her characters in a natural, non-threatening way. I have enjoyed every ...
A Descent Into Hell: The True Story of an Altar Boy, a Cheerleader, and a Twisted Texas Murder

Great True Crime Writing
My true crime reading habit started years ago with classics such as In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, and Helter Selter, by Vincent Bugliosi. Much as I would like to quit the habit, books such as A Descent into Hell keep me turning the pages. I offest the subject matter with spiritual memoir reading and angel oracle decks. Be forewarned, this case is graphic and horrible but Casey has a way of ...

How Obama can win
This book is really smart. It goes all the way back to FDR and the New Deal to discuss how Catholics have been involved politically with the Democrats. I hope Obama and his campaign team read it - Obama did badly among Catholics in the primaries. Hillary beat him 70%-30% among Catholics in Pennsylvania. This book will give him ideas about how to win them back. The last chapter on Latinos is ...

Murder at the Altar by Terry Philllips
Murder at the Altar This is a fascinating books on three counts: 1) It tells the little-known but important story of the murder of a church leader in New York in the thirties, a crime that strikes right at the heart of the coming Cold War, and a crime that is as current as tomorrow because it foreshadows today's international battles fueled by church versus state issues. 2) Murder at the ...

Totally changed my home
I discovered this book at a book store in SF and while I did not think I was looking help at home the richness of the photographs and colors drew me into this book. Almost 30 minutes later, I had to purchase this book. One of those photography books in which the brilliant images bring you in but the sage and engaging writing style had me stay awake all night feeling as if this writer had opened ...

Beautiful Book for children who know the Good Shepherd!
This is my new favorite ABC book! The book is published by Catechesis of the Good Shepherd publications and it names things commonly found in a Montessori Atrium. My children love the familiar reerences to the "work" they find at CGS. There is an image and a brief prayer drawn from scripture or liturgy. Every child will enjoy this book, but for a child who knows the Good Shepherd in the ...

One who knows first hand of the fire on the altar
The beauty and ease of your daughter scripting the memiors of your awesome experiences with the power of Almighty God! This man has been compared to prophets in the Bible, and I agree. From the story of how he was taken away by the midwife, immediately after he was born, to the end, it is evident that God has his hand on this man.

Fire up the cauldron!
This is a wonderful book - packed with spells and potions for every situation, and the first book I've seen devoted to using a cauldron. Whatever you may need to do, be it blessing, healing, protecting, or banishing, you can find a spell in here. Spiritual bath recipes are included. There is even the occasional soup recipe! This is a must-have reference book for every kitchen witch's library! I'm ...

Setting the Mood for Yoga
This book is exactly as described. It is a lovely pop-up book for adults. There are beautiful 3-D cut-outs of Buddist Godesses, suggested mantras, and meanings. Although I probably would not travel with it because I have too much else to take, it is great for creating a nice and colorful yoga and meditation corner.

The TRUTH (!!!!) behind what is possibly the BIGGEST THREAT to AMERICAN civilization and to CHRISTIAN DECENCY, DEMOCRACY and PIETY since theHOMOSEXUAL AGENDA got inserted into the elementary public school curriculum in the 1990's. A THREAT which is bigger then (and the root behind) both all the MOHOMEDIAN ARAB TERRORISM (Quran: A Reformist Translation) and all the LSD, MARIJUANA, HEROIN, and ...

A Good Read!
I loved this book. I read it twice in less than 2 weeks. If I'd had time, I'd have read it twice in 2 days. The stories were heart warming. I can't decide which is the best.
