CAST ME NOT AWAY by Zara Heritage -- Suspense that is not to be missed.

 
 
Reviewers say: “The best dystopian novel I’ve ever read.” … “So real, it’s frightening.”… “Strong characters, both good and evil.” … “Stayed up all night reading--grateful for how it ended.”

Aktion T4, a largely secret program approved by the Nazis in 1939, was designed to rid the nation of young children deemed unworthy of life. It eventually took the lives of over 200,000 children and laid groundwork for the destruction of millions of Jews and other enemies of the state.

Today the world struggles with concepts like quality of life, restricting family size, meaningful medical benefit, and rationing care for the sick and elderly. Where will it end? Fast forward to a time and place where the future meets the past and the abortion & euthanasia movement reaches its inevitable conclusion.

In this time of societal darkness, Mira Hastings and Grayson Stevens join a cadre of brave souls standing against a juggernaut of evil by putting their lives on the line to rescue ill-fated youngsters from certain death. In a bold attempt to bring down the beast, they publicly expose the greed and corruption that drives the system. Declared enemies of the state, Mira and Gray are forced underground as they flee the wrath of a vengeful government. While on the run they encounter unknown dangers. But, with the aid of a network of supporters, some providing high-tech assistance, they encounter hope, joy ... and eventually love.
 
Note that there are deaths, and one that is very tear wrenching, but brave little Robbie and Emma will survive.

SEVEN REVOLUTIONS by Mike Aquilina & James L. Papandrea



Seven Revolutions – How Christianity Changed the World and Can Change It Again, reminds us of an uncomfortable truth. Believer and unbeliever alike, we have all benefited from the Christianization of our world.

Science tells us that the physical world tends to disorder…chaos, if you will. It is easy to forget that the way in which we live and things we have come to accept as the natural order of society are not in any way natural. And it is only now, when we begin to look around and see it crumbling before our very eyes that we ask, “Why?”

The Church and its principles revolutionized the world 2,000 years ago, and this book makes a strong case for the urgent need to re-Christianize our world.

After establishing its thesis of the changing power of Christianity on society, the book lays out the task which we, as people living in a post-Christian world, now face as we set about reclaiming the world around us.

Seven Revolutions is both insightful and articulate. I highly recommend it.

MOTHER TERESA -- COME BE MY LIGHT




Meditate on the Life of a Greta Saint




We all have our favorite saint, but no matter how much we read and study they exist mostly in our imagination. Mother Teresa is different; she’s a contemporary. I never met her, of course, but still feel as though I know her. And through the wonderful book, Mother Teresa – Come be My Light, I’ve come to know her in ways I never imagined. I marveled at the depth of her humility and holiness as I read her personal correspondence with her confessor and her Bishop. The insights one gains are life changing.

Pope Benedict once said, “Even in the most difficult times, the Lord does not cease to bless his People, bringing forth Saints who give a jolt to minds and hearts…” Mother Teresa was surely once such person given to us as a role model.
This is a must read book…Don’t miss it!

A TRAVEL GUIDE TO HEAVEN by ANTHONY DeSTEFANO



There’s that old tongue-in-cheek saying: “Everyone wants to go to Heave, but nobody’s dying to get there.” Is it because most of us don’t really have a good idea what’s waiting for us?
Anthony DeStefano’s book, A Travel Guide to Heaven, changes all that. Relying on scripture, the author uses logic and imagination to paint a description of Heaven that will delight Christians as well as non-Christians.
DeStafno’s writing style is clear and uncomplicated, making the book an easy read with enjoyable surprises sprinkled in. And the best of all, you needn’t fret over Visas, Taxes, Gratuities, or Surcharges. The copy I read was the 10th Anniversary Edition. Don’t make the wait ten years to read it like I did.

SACRED FIRE by RONALD ROLHEISER




Sacred Fire is a book designed to be read in and unhurried manner. I often found myself pausing to revisit a page or two and then meditate upon the message contained within them.

Fr. Rolheiser begins by outlining the classic structure of Christian life. Having covered the fundamentals, he the builds on this sturdy foundation encouraging the reader to go further, dig deeper into themselves and God. He takes the reader through a spiritual life-cycle, if you will, tracing the ebb and flow of a typical life from young adulthood to parent to middle age.

I found the final section, the one that deals with total giving of yourself even unto death, to be the most interesting part of the book. Fr. Rolheiser articulates an ideal and process of what might be called the Good Death in ways I’ve never encountered before.

This is definitely a book to be read over and over again, gleaning all the wisdom within its pages.
