Bookworm stuff...

I have a book recommendation.  I just recently read The Cross and the Beatitudes by Fulton J. Sheen.  It is an amazing book that relates the Seven last words of Christ to the seven beatitudes (the eighth encompasses the other seven so it is debatable).  It has some really good lessons about love, chastity, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness.  It is easy to read and comprehend, yet its lessons are profound.   The book was published in 1937, so communism was a HUGE deal at the time.  If you replace all mentions of communism with terrorism, the book is brought completely up to date.  Enjoy!
