January 26, 2007: I'll never be able to take a number at the deli counter without ever thinking of Thomas Woods's tome, How The Cathoilc Church Built Western Civilization. Fascinating and informative, every American should read this book. That is to say, every Catholic and non-Catholic -- yes, even non-believers. Particularly non-believers! Although not exactly what we would call a comprehensive work, Woods does manage to provide, in effect, a most excellent primer, especially given the times in which we live. One might consider it a companion book, of sorts, to go hand-in-hand with the likes of Rodney Stark's, The Victory of Reason, or The New Anti-Catholicism, by Phil Jenkins. I can't help but think that there's another volume in the works from Dr. Woods. This scrupulously written book, however, is not only good history, we found it to be quite inspirational. That said: it's accruate information and, of course, one cannot act on the information if one doesn't have it. To put the latter in perspective: Reading THIS book is important stuff! Thank you, Dr. Woods.

June 25, 2006: This book is really a beacon of truth in a world that has been clouded by unbelief and distrust in God's Holy Catholic Church. Unlike what other reviewers may lie to you about, the church has not destroyed the faith of western civilization, we have done that by our own perversion and aetheism. In fact this book clearly states how the church is the utmost provider of care for the poor, and how it has inspired so many to find God's truth. It is the true church which has grown and flourished through the centuries accomplishing feats of greatness through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This book highlights the accomplishments of the church in modern culture and it's influence on ages to come.
