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).

Amazing to think that the 4 chapters of this book were actually the Advent homilies given by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI). This is hardly your average Sunday sermon - these are masterpieces in homiletics that go through the first chapters of Genesis as a new way to understand the Advent/Christmas season.You'll want to read this very short book several times, in order to fully digest this scholar-Pope's words. (I still can't believe that this work of such philosophical depth was originally given as a set of sermons as part of the Mass.)
