I just picked up this book and while I have a couple of other
books that I’m ready reading, I intend to squeeze this one in.
I learned about John Zmirak in an interview with TaylorMarshall.
He had a quick wit about him and a full servant of our Lord Jesus Christ and His
Church. In the interview he pointed out various concerns with the leadership of
the Church presently, the same concerns that I and many of us as lay Catholics
have.
As I always do when I find someone I find interesting or a
book that catches my eye, is I go on a bit of an investigation, finding out as
much as I can about that person or author, or subject matter before I purchase
a book they’ve written or pursue any other articles or video’s they appear in
or write.
John writes articles on The Stream , a
Catholic news blog as well as The National Catholic Register (here are a few of his articles there)
The National Catholic Reporter also has an article about him
and they didn’t like him too much, which is one in the PLUS + column for John
as far as I’m concerned.
So, I looked up a number of his books at Barnes and Noble, because
they’re my local bookstore whom I like to support. Amazon has him as well.
I liked the titles in the book’s table of contents.
·
The Church and what it says about itself and the
world, and what will happen to you when you die.
·
The Pope, the Bishops and When and why Catholics
have to believe What they say – And When and Why we Don’t.
·
How Birth Control Tore the Church apart.
…just to name a few.
Here’s an article from National Catholic Register that takes a more thorough look
at the author and this particular book. I agree with their take and I look
forward to reading John’s book.
Hope you’ll take a look as well.
