The Bells of St. Mary's
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Tuesday, November 02, 2010 4:16 PM
On Saturday night, I found myself home alone. Adam was with a friend, Greg was at work, and I was worn out from a day spent writing and feeling a little under the weather. I was too tired to read, but not tired enough to sleep so I picked up the remote and decided to treat myself to a chick flick on Netflix. Since I live in a house with men, this is a rare treat so I gave myself permission to be... READ MORE

Country Star Uses Talents to Deliver Pro-Life Message
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Wednesday, October 27, 2010 12:00 PM
Over at NCRegister.com, I’ve been blogging about Verve Pipe’s song “The Freshman” and the pro-life meaning behind its lyrics.
I found out about the hidden pro-life meaning in this song’s lyrics through a post at Live Action which includes many others. One of the more blatantly pro-life songs on the list was “The Call” by Matt Kennon (featured in the video above).
When the nurse asked how far along... READ MORE
Rachel's Contrition Giveaway
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in Reviews on Monday, October 25, 2010 8:30 AM
Are you looking for great fiction? How about great Catholic fiction? Well, look no further.
Rachel’s Contrition, by Michelle Buckman, has been making some waves on Amazon, rating first in women’s fiction on the Feast of the Holy Rosary this year (October 7).
There’s a reason it made number one. This is a book that not only begs a reviewer to use words like “riveting,” “powerful,” and even “awesome,”... READ MORE
"Purly" Whites

I’m not certain what would possess a person to take on the project of knitting a human skeleton.
But it’s impressive, nonetheless.
I thought you might enjoy it in the spirit of memento mori that we enter next weekend.
See more of the incredible details here.
(But explore the rest of the site at your own risk. It’s…um…“art,” and sometimes quite raw.)
Win 'The Death Panels'
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in Reviews on Monday, October 18, 2010 8:30 AM
I’m a big fan of Michelle Buckman‘s, and I’m tickled to share one of her two new novels, The Death Panels, with everyone here.
Brace yourself before you pick this book up. It’s not light reading, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to already recommending it to everyone I know.
Death Panels builds a world that my children could live in, a world that’s not so far from possible. It takes the most dangerous... READ MORE

Tights! Tights! Tights!
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, October 15, 2010 10:00 AM
This week was the first week local temperatures dipped low enough to justify wearing my favorite fashion accessory—tights! For someone like me who favors simple, monotone clothing, tights can be an easy way to add a little flair. They can also add warmth to an outfit and are a fantastic way to “modest-ize” your wardrobe. Here are a few of my favorite selections from StockinGirl.com …

What Are Your Favorite Romantic Comedies?
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Tuesday, October 05, 2010 10:00 AM
Dan and I recently enjoyed watching Letters to Juliet.
It was certainly not high art, but it was a cute little story (I think completely inoffensive, but don’t quote me on that—I might have forgotten something!) and made for a fun evening together.
We enjoy watching lots of different kinds of movies, but when it’s my turn to choose what we watch, I pretty much always pick a romantic comedy.
But picking... READ MORE
