dUSt Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Simply put, this is the section that will help us all grow in our faith, by reading and discussing books together. Each week we will discuss a specific chapter of a specific book. Fr Pontifex (the resident priest of phatmass) has committed to participating in this section with all of us. We would like to get as many people to participate as possible. We want everyone's input and feedback. "Theological flexing" will be discouraged. haha Stay tuned for more details, and feel free to use this thread to make some suggestions on what book we'll read first. To begin, it should be something easily available at any bookstore, so we can get started as soon as possible. This will help me to commit to do some valuable reading. I hope everyone will use this as an excuse to get to reading too! Oh--by the way. Only I can start topics in here (to maintain order), but everyone can reply.
hyperdulia again Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 What kind of books we gon' be readin'?
Lil Red Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 are we going by any author, or preferably Catholic authors?
Ellenita Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 And please can the international part of the phamily have some advanced warning so we can order the books from Amazon if necessary! :D Muchas gracias! Great idea dUSt..... *Ellenita settles down for a good read.......* :coffee:
CICCIO Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I just wanna say i think this is a really cool idea, i myself need inscentive to read and this offers a great reason. Plus i think it will help to make knowledge about the faith more available to us younger people. I think it will help those of us who want to learn more find sources to study...if that makes any sence. Peace

dUSt Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 To start, we'll probably begin with books that can be found anywhere, like St Augustine's Confessions, CS Lewis' Mere Christianity, etc. Later, we'll probably read books requiring some of us to order online. I'm hoping we can stick to books that can be found in libraries, so for those of us short on change can simply check them out instead of buying them. This is Fr Pontifex's idea, so let's give him some props. I think it'll be great, especially if we can get a lot of people to participate.
IcePrincessKRS Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 This is cool... sounds like some of the books we'd be reading I used to own... grrrr... until that fateful day when my huge box of books disappeared from the storeroom at college.... Guess I'll have to find a way to get my hands on copies of them again. :)

IcePrincessKRS Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Big ups and nuff respek to da wun dem call Pontifex. Yeah, what she said! :D
jmjtina Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 St. Augustine sounds good! :book: The Lamb's Supper by Scott Hahn seems like a good read too. Fr. Pontifex, GREAT idea! :cheer:
phatcatholic Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 we HAVE TO start w/ Mere Christianity. in my opinion, NO CHRISTIAN should go w/o reading this book. it is priceless, invaluable. a MUST READ b/c it is simply one of the best books on christianity i have ever read. PLEEEEASE tell me we are starting on this one. :D
stargirl3:16 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I highly recommend Joshua by Joseph Girzone...a former :priest:
Aloysius Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 there's no such thing as a former priest... a priest is a priest forever. i'm sooo on board with this idea :cool:
Birgitta Noel Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Oooh, this sounds wonderful! I just hope I can keep up! :D
Brother Adam Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I can't garuntee participation in every book read, but I would like to join in from book to book.
Aloysius Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 :lol: so that explains why we haven't convinced you to become Catholic yet... you couldn't read our posts!!! ^_^ :cool:
-I---Love Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 THANK YOU FR. PONTIFEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
