Well, the results are in at The Catholic Summer Reading Program, and my book Love in the Little Things: Tales of Family Life came in seventh overall.
Seventh! Can you believe that? And just look at the authors who finished ahead of me:
Pope Benedict XVI
G.K. Chesterton
Georges Bernanos
Evelyn Waugh
Fr. George Rutler
J.R.R. Tolkien
Should I demand a recount? Who are these guys anyway?
The number seven is symbolic of divine perfection.
The thought, of course, crossed my mind. But I preferred to have a real-life biblical scholar say it.
Mike,
As the nuns used to say to us “heathens,” in the 1960’s, “Offer it up!”
D.v.
Wow! That’s quite a crowd to be beat out by!
Congratulations Mr Aquilina!
You are way too cool!
Well, those other guys are pretty good, but there’s nothing like a good essay about someone in diapers.
