Deacon Kurt says: Make a spectacle of yourself, (a book review). Book: Bible Basics for Catholics Author: Dr. John Bergsma

I first bumped into this book (or so I thought) at my brother’s house. I gave it a look over and asked if I could borrow it when he was finished. For some rea-son it looked familiar to me. A week and a half later I was going through my shelves of books (I promised myself to do more reading) and low and behold, here was this book! I scanned the cover and emailed it to him to let him know I already had it. Then began to read it immediately.

If you have ever wanted the big picture regarding the Bible, this is the book to get. It is very easy to read and lays out God’s plan wonderfully. It all centers around the word ‘covenant.’ It defines the word and lays out God’s timeless plan by making a covenant with his people. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Books available for sale at the parish office. For more information, please call the office 559-226-1163.
