4. “History’s Golden Thread: The History of Salvation by Sofia Calvaretti
5. “Healing the Culture, A Commonsense Philosophy of Happiness, Freedom, and the Life Issues” by Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J.
6. A good book on Lent TBD
Just finished up “History’s Golden Thread” which is the most profound book I have read on Salvation History since Scott Hahn. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the subject, talks about the connections between the Old and New Testament, as well as the Jewish Faith. Mind boggling and enhances your view of how scripture is being interpreted today, both good and bad.
I also hadn’t officially planned but did read a book on Advent and Christmas that I finished earlier this month, which was after I adopted this goal, so I am counting that one.
This next book, “Healing the Culture” I am re-reading, but loved it so much the first time I want to go through it again. It centers on philosophy and draws into moral issues from a cultural perspective, zeroing in on Happiness, Success, Love, Suffering, Quality of Life, Ethics, Freedom, Personhood, Human Rights and the Common Good.. A thought provoking book I am excited to go through again.
Additionally I will choose one good book for Lent. I just can’t read one at a time!
