Smart Alex

Alex Basile is a regular visitor to these pages. He’s also a teacher of high-school religion.

Now he’s written two remarkable little books that are great for introducing people to Christianity. One’s an introduction to belief, called Finding Faith in a Godless World: A Catholic Path to God. The other’s an introduction to spirituality — prayer and Christian living — titled Lessons From the Master: Living Like Jesus.

Alex is well acquainted with the great masters from the tradition, so you’ll find the familiar Fathers in his pages.

These are good books to buy by the crate for handing out to inquirers. Keep some in your drawer at work, some in the automobile glove compartment, some in the briefcase, one in the back pocket. And renew the face of the earth.
