The Book Nook
Many of you will recall the many excellent book reviews that Deacon Mike gave us before he retired. We are continuing that tradition, by making this space available to anyone who would like to submit a review of a book that has positively influenced their secular or spiritual life. If you would like to see all of Deacon Mike's reviews, please click here to be taken to his selections. If you would like to submit a review of your own, please click here to e-mail your thoughts to our editor.
Enjoy!!
