The voting results for The Catholic Summer Reading Program are in, and the three lucky books are:

 


Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict
 
 

St. Francis of Assisi by G.K. Chesterton

 


The Diary of a Country Priest by Georges Bernanos

 

I am delighted that The Diary of a Country Priest made it to the top three!  I read it last year and found it wonderful.  It’s not the easiest book to read; it is a bit dense sometimes and contains some obscure historical and political references.  But it is very rewarding!  The film version by Robert Bresson is excellent too, both in its own right as a film and in the fine way it evokes the novel.

Unshelved for 25 June 2008:

Catholic Exchange has just launched its new Theology of the Body Channel. 

It promises to be a very comprehensive resource with something for everyone: men, women, young adults, singles, spouses, priests and religious.  It also has a special section about natural family planning (NFP) and one on freeing oneself from pornography.  There are many different columnists, from different states of life, who contribute.
