My name is Eddie, and I'm the real boss around here. I read all of the books, and tell Erik what I think of them, so when you read the reviews, think of me!

Frank Sheed's Theology and Sanity

His book is really a good book for people who don't know a lick about Theology. He also brings people through a good summation of Thomism without getting them lost. He mentions a few things about St. Anselm and St. Augustine. The doctrines of Salvation and the Trinity were mentioned. I will not go into the details because my summaries are short paragraphs. People who are looking to start studies into theology and christian philosophy will enjoy this book.

The Lord and His Prayer

This little book, by Bishop N.T. Wright, is a little gem. It shows how to study and how to pray the Lord's Prayer. Wright gives three different ways to study the Lord's prayer. First, a person takes one section per day, and uses that as a theme for the day, and uses the prayer as a theme for the week. Secondly, it is like a meditative like prayer. A person uses it in their private prayer time with the Lord. Thirdly, it is like the first theme. They use a theme a week instead of a theme a day, and exchange different themes. It is a small book, and a person can read it in a week. The language is very easy. Easy reading!
