I can't really say, but if you look up 'Bookmark Fatima for Today' on YouTube, you can watch the EWTN Bookmark episode with Fr. Andrew Apostoli and see if that book interests you. I'd post it here, but it won't let me. Edited May 11, 2017 by Jubilate Deo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charbel Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Is that about the book called Vision of Fatima ? I hear it's a great read, but it's about the priest sculptor who sculpted the Our Lady of Fatima Statue under Sr. Lucia's direction and supervision. He wrote the book though because as the description states: "Fr. Tom emerged with far more than an exact replica of how Our Lady appeared; he came to understand and recounts here in these pages Sr. Lucia's intimate explanations of what happened in Fatima, the spiritual meanings of the apparitions, whether the Consecration to Russia occurred, why the secrets had to remain secrets for so long, and why Mary chose to appear to three young shepherd children in rural Portugal." I think someone actually started a thread about this book a while back but it probably got lost in the pages somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not The Philosopher Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Five pages in and no one's repped Chesterton? Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man are great reads. The Man Who Was Thursday is one of my favourite novels and an excellent theological thriller. His Father Brown mysteries are no slouch either. I read Ratzinger's Introduction to Christianity during Lent and thought it was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilate Deo Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus. I'm only a few pages in, but this is really good. Some of it only applies to monastics, but there is definitely a lot in here for lay people as well. The e-book can be found and read in its entirety here: http://www.carmelitepriory.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/TheLadderofDivineAscent.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very different than it would be for a married person or a single person in the world. Edited June 2, 2017 by Jubilate Deo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like it. I always knew about the Rosary but I never really KNEW much of its history aside from St. Dominic. And there's so many great Saints and Blesseds that loved it so much. Some of them I never knew about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilate Deo Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) I hope it's okay if I revive this thread. Vision of Fatima by Fr. Thomas McGlynn has some great information on Our Lady of Fatima and how she appeared to the three shepherd children. G.K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man is also very good, although much of it goes completely over my head.
