Where Is That in the Bible? (And Other Questions for People Who Can’t Find the Remote)

Dinosaurs, the Big Bang, and the Church That Nodded Along: A 3-Minute Crash Course in Catholic Science
“The Catholic Church is against science.” That slogan has been running on fumes for a while. Yes, there have been Catholic mistakes, bad arguments, nervous theologians, and at least one famous Galileo-shaped mess.

Catholic Apologetics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Arguments That Actually Work

Book Review: American Patriots: By Rick Santorum
Through a friend of a friend, I managed to get on the Tyndale list for preview/review copies of books. the first one that they gave me was Rick Santorum’s American patriots.
