Dubbed the "Dumb Ox" by his classmates for his shyness, Saint Thomas Aquinas proved to be possessed of the rarest brilliance, justifying the faith of his teacher, Albertus Magnus, and sparking a revolution in Christian thought. Chesterton's unsurpassed examination of Aquinas' thinking makes his philosophy accessible to listeners of any generation.

Well Worth the Listen

Fantastic! Not your normal biography simply telling the story Thomas's life. Rather looking at who he was, how he thought and some great comparisons and contrasting with Francis of Assisi.

Bernard Hinault is "Le Blaireau", the Badger. Tough as old boots, he is the old warrior of the French peloton, as revered as he is feared for his ferocious attacks. He has won five Tours de France, marking his name into the history books as a member of cycling's most exclusive club. Yet as the 1986 Tour de France ascends into the mountains, a boyish and friendly young American named Greg LeMond threatens the Badger - and France's entire cycling heritage.

I really enjoyed this book. It brought me back to the first Tour de France I ever followed, which was largely responsible for my getting into cycling. The author is through in the many figures he has interviewed. It is well written and easy to keep focused on.
Warning: Don't play audio around children. I don't recommend it for younger readers because of the inclusion of a lot of foul language in the quotes. It's a shame. They could have been edited or replaced with symbols and made this a great book for my older kids at home. It would have detracted nothing from the book. Lost one star for that.

Will Wilder is a mischievous, headstrong 12-year-old with an otherworldly gift - he alone can see the nefarious creatures encroaching on Perilous Falls. For nearly a century, a sacred relic has protected his hometown from the raging waters surrounding it. But when Will "borrows" the relic for his own purposes, he accidentally unleashes an ancient evil. As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, Will must set things right before it is too late.

Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy."

A Must Read!

Would you listen to The Lamb's Supper again? Why?
Let me first say, I am a former student of Scott's, having taken 18 credits from him. That being disclosed, I think that this book and A Father Who Keeps His Promises are the two books that lay a large focus of Scott's teaching. This book will open the Mass to you in a whole new way. I wish that every Catholic would read this.
I also prefer that Scott Hahn read his own books, as he did with this one. Scott is an infectious teacher, and you need to hear him doing the reading for the best experience.

Somewhere under the freezing Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision. The Red October is heading west. The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. The chase for the highly advanced nuclear submarine is on—and there’s only one man who can find her. Brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan has little interest in fieldwork, but when covert photographs of Red October land on his desk, Ryan soon finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek played by two world powers—a game that could end in all-out war.

Would you listen to The Hunt for Red October again? Why?
Absolutely... if I have 24 hours to kill. This book was fantastic! I have, of course, watched the movie a dozen times before reading the book. The book was much more dramatic. Fantastic story and very well read.
