Jesus of Nazareth
by Pope Benedict XVI
Amazon Price: $16.47


Customer Review: This book is not so much a traditional biography per say but more of a biographical critical study. What made me buy it was an interest both in its subject and its author. The Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, is a figure who greatly fascinates me. He’s a mast…

The Apostles

Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
by Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI
Amazon Price: $10.17


Customer Review: This is a wonderful and informative publication. I have never been able to bring myself to tackle the actual Catechism because of its enormous size, so this little book is great for me. I am a CCD teacher and I find this book to be a wonderful refe…

by Carl Anderson
Amazon Price: $13.57


Customer Review: This book properly positions family, Catholic education, the spirituality of work, and the right to life as values that should be promulgated by everyone including the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case - […].

Saved in Hope: Spe Salvi
by Pope Benedict XVI
Amazon Price: $10.17


Customer Review: So says Benedict XVI in Spe Salvi (paragraph 31), his second encyclical, and the entire elegant and closely reasoned essay is an argument in defense of the claim. As is typical of papal encyclicals, references in Spe Salvi tend to focus on scripture…

Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told By a Cat
by Jeanne Perego
Amazon Price: $12.21


Customer Review: I thought this book had loads of potential. The illustrations are wonderful, the theme terrific, but its a bit wordy for the young audience I read it to.

by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict
Amazon Price: $10.17

God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est
by Pope Benedict XVI
Amazon Price: $10.17


Customer Review: This encyclical is an imperative for anyone who wants to understand what makes Benedict XVI tick, and what has been making him tick for many years. He is a supreme theologian, but also a man deeply in love with God. In a way that is crystal clear, he…

The Cure - Greatest Hits
Amazon Price: $19.99


Customer Review: Hi,

I am a long time Cure fan since Pornography came out. I must admit I am a musician that plays dark rock. I understood why Robert Smith needed a break from the Gothic style but this record only reflects the most upbeat shallow and less inter…

The Snake
Amazon Price: $28.99


Customer Review: This album proved that Shane does NOT need the Pogues but the Pogues absolutely suck without Shane. The duet with Sinead actually works well. You don’t have to like Irish music to absolutely dig this.

Superbad (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition) [Blu-ray]
Amazon Price: $28.95


Customer Review: Apparently, the only story Hollywood knows how to tell about teen agers is one in which young men who talk about sex all the time want to have sex. While that may be true for some (or even many), it is not the entirety of teen life.

Customer Review: Growing up in the 80s my dad had a copy of this movie on vhs, and my brother and I watched this movie all the time. The plot was straight out of every boys dreams, flying a space ship against an entire army of bad guys.

The movie was …

Spider-Man 3 [Blu-ray]
Amazon Price: $29.95


Customer Review: It seems like Peter Parker has taken a step back in personality and maturity than he finally arrived at in Spidy 1. There’s just so many screwball ideas in this Spidy that the movie would go between mega CGI action to a near stop with a couple sappy…
