Book Reviews

In this upcoming year, a year of faith, I hope to write weekly book reviews on the two dozen books in the booklist below.  Most books will get multiple reviews and I intend the reviews to revolve around the booklist’s mission statement: To educate our children, we ourselves must be learning and so we strive to have well formed consciences.
