Things are going to be very busy around here the next couple of weeks. I’ll be around, but probably with only about 1/20th of my brain.
I had a little spurt of book orders yesterday. Thank you! If you’d like to order books, please do so – here’s the bookstore. There are some glitches in the Paypal buttons (my fault – nothing serious), but just a couple of things:
1) If you want personalized signatures and the note requesting the information doesn’t come up at the end of the order, drop me a line.

2) Make sure the thing asks you for your address.
3) If you are ordering anything except the Loyola Kids’ books, the Book of Days, the Prove Its, Here, Now , Mary and the Christian Life or the Pocket Guides, drop me a line BEFORE you order to see if I have them in stock. I probably don’t, and I won’t be re-ordering for a bit.
Next week, Matthew Lickona, Joseph O’Brien and Bishop Daniel Flores and I will be discussing Ron Hansen’s novel Exiles over at Inside Catholic. Exiles weaves together the story of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and the subjects of his great work The Wreck of the Deutschland – particularly the five German nuns who were on board the ship, traveling to America. I think you will be enriched by the discussion – it’s not too late to grab a copy of the book and read over the weekend and join us!
