Review of: Hiking the Camino: 500 Miles With Jesus

978-0-86716-882-2 "The Good Life," a blog for Catholics, published a review of Hiking the Camino: 500 Miles With Jesus:


"The connection between the human body and soul and Christ’s sacrifice on the cross becomes palpable in Hiking the Camino. Fr. Dave is brutally honest about the pain of walking mile after mile, day after day. Pain is an unavoidable reality for every pilgrim on the Camino. Like so many Christian writers before him, Fr. Dave explains that pain and suffering can bring us close to God if only we will make it our companion instead of our enemy."

Review of: Hiking the Camino: 500 Miles With Jesus

978-0-86716-882-2 "Divorced Catholic Moms," a blog for Catholics, published a review of Hiking the Camino: 500 Miles With Jesus:


"This book chronicles the trials and tribulations (and exultations) of Fathers Dave and Joe over the course of their Camino adventure.  At 135 pages, it’s a quick read.  And it’s totally delightful.  I just love reading books by priests who are ‘down to earth’ and show us just how much like “us” they are.  This is that kind of book."

Review of: Surprised by Canon Law, Vol. 2

"This, That and the Other Thing," a blog for Catholics, published a review of Surprised by Canon Law, Volume 2:


978-0-86716-749-8

"The answers given in the book are clear and concise. The questions are in bold-faced type so it is easy to skim the book for answers to particular questions. It doesn't deal with doctrine, but rather with the way things are done. If you are REALLY interested in Canon Law, you can find the whole code online. If you are more normal, I'd suggest this book, as well as the first volume in the series."

978-0-86716-860-0

"Fr. Pivonka does a wonderful job of bringing it down and--most importantly of all--giving flesh and blood to the idea of true freedom. Through stories gleaned from his extensive ministry, he invites the reader to encounter men and women who have chosen the truth. And the truth set them free."

Review of: Choosing Beauty

"Not Lukewarm," a blog for Catholics, recently reviewed Choosing Beauty: A 30-Day Spiritual Makeover for Women:

"I enjoyed the study and think it would be useful to women in many different stages of their faith life. All of us need a reminder now and again that Christian virtue should be the foundation of our life in Christ and that the world's definition of beauty is not what makes an attractive woman. I especially enjoyed Gina's story as to how she was convinced to spend time cultivating her inner beauty."

978-0-86716-891-4

"In this chaotic time when women wonder where their common sense has gone there is hope. Graced and Gifted - Biblical Wisdom for the Homemaker's Heart by Kimberly Hahn is a breeze of fresh air. The book is written in a way that will touch every woman's heart. Reading it makes you feel like you are in a room with your own mother. The advice and wisdom given by the author is warm and understandable. The lost common sense of being a wife and a homemaker is restored to its own glory and authentic simplicity. The author helps us understand that we are graced with our vocation as homemakers, and that changes all does it not? When you see your duties as a vocation it is a grace given by God."
