Second Corinthians

Second Corinthians

tagged: currently-reading
The Stand
5 of 5 stars true
The Stand
by Stephen King
This is an enduring favorite, especially when you consider that I read it when it came out (yes, waaaay back in 1980) and I must have read it 5 or 6 times at least. Picking it up again because it's that Scott and I will be discussing in ...

The Lost World
0 of 5 stars true
The Lost World

Listening to The Classic Tales podcast reading which is coming in weekly installments. I can't praise B.J. Harrison's reading enough. He is picture perfect to my ears.

My 2013 Books Challenge

Happy Catholic - The Book!

Happy Catholic - The Book!
In stores now! (click image for more info) For an autographed copy, go to the HC store!

Where Am I the Rest of the Time?

Forgotten Classics
Let me read you a story on my podcast. We are reading Mouse in the Mountain by Norbert Davis. The second book featuring the crime fighting team of Doan and Carstairs.

A Good Story is Hard to Find
Scott Danielson and I discuss books and movies that show themes of belief, faith, and that "one reality" under the surface. Yes, another podcast.

Meanwhile, Back in the Kitchen
My cooking blog. Not as active as it could be, but every so often I'll drop a recipe over there.

SFFaudio
I review science fiction and fantasy audiobooks for Scott and Jesse ... and occasionally am a guest on their podcast discussing the latest book in their "readalongs."

Happy Catholic's Bookshelf ... where my book stuff from all over the internet is gathered together for all to peruse. A little at a time anyway.

My Conversion Story

May be read here.
