Books with a Beu
Jamie Beu, owner and co-author (with his wife) of CatholicFamily.info, is a "cradle Catholic", devoted husband, and father of two girls. He is a regular contributor to his parish newsletter, as well as an impassioned defender of the faith who is able to both support and challenge others as necessary -- all in an effort to build-up Christ's Kingdom on Earth. To this end, he does a lot of reading - not just of religious books (for education and research), but also of secular books, both to decompress as well as to keep a finger on the pulse of pop culture (the better to relate to others, as well as to help restore the culture).

The Overton Window
This story did a decent job of mixing some facts from here and there with a conspiracy theory storyline. Unfortunately, some of the character development could have been done a little better: making the characters behave realistically (if not reasonably) would have improved the story. Instead of being led along as a story unfolded, it felt as if the author had too many things he wanted to include and not enough pages to do it in. The result was too much action and a climax that felt rushed and ultimately unfulfilling. Maybe adding another 300-400 pages would have helped.Overall a decent read, but not nearly the caliber of a Tom Clancy techno-thriller.
