I've had a real problem getting into Christian literature b/c it always seems, as you say, heavy-handed. I will say that I read the book "Five for sorrow, Ten for Joy" recently and it absolutely knocked me off my feet. There's an old Sci-fi book that I think does a good job depicting Catholics respectfully, too--Canticle for Leibowitz. It's about an order of post-nuclear holocaust monks who are preserving knowledge, even though they don't know what it says. (It's a shopping list, which is ironic, but the point is that despite the pointlessness of what they're preserving, they are portrayed respectfully and as faithful people.)Kathleen@so much to say, so little timehttp://www.kathleenbasi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-79883743483203910242010-07-07T07:26:19.264-05:002010-07-07T07:26:19.264-05:00It was interesting, and it certainly held my inter...It was interesting, and it certainly held my interest. As a Catholic who spends a lot of time reading about Protestants in Christian fiction, I'd really like the chance to pick up something similar and read about people like meRAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102249990885174107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-14552857909326432542010-07-07T06:02:29.933-05:002010-07-07T06:02:29.933-05:00I appreciate your balanced review!
