Review Did Adam & Eve Have Belly Buttons? / Saint Joseph Communications:Read by the author, this new audio version of his popular work offers today's Catholic, young and old alike, a collection of clear and concise answers to questions about the Catholic Faith. Best of all, the 200 questions addressed by Mr. Pinto came from real Catholic teenagers from all over the United States. A well-known apologist and co-founder of the popular apologetics journal Envoy Magazine, Matt Pinto has an extensive personal background working with Catholic youth. Working for the Archdiocese of San Diego in both youth and young adult ministry, Matt developed a program of evangelization that has become a national model for success. Popular Catholic speaker and host of EWTN's youth oriented TV show Life on the Rock, Jeff Cavins says of Matt Pinto, "Those who know the author are impressed with his energy and enthusiasm in his work with young people. He knows how they think and the social and spiritual situations they face. As a popular youth speaker, Matt Pinto is a master at applying the truths of the Church to the ever-changing moral and social landscape. And now he brings his energy, enthusiasm, and skills to the written page. " And now St. [+]Joseph Communications has put his work into a format that can meet teens where they are: at home, in the car, on the beach, or wherever they listen to tapes or CDs! Through his involvement in Catholic youth and young adult ministry, Matt Pinto has personally witnessed hundreds of teens and "Generation Xers" experience genuine conversion and surety of faith after being effectively introduced to the powerful life-changing teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. What's the secret? According to Matt, teens want clear Catholic truth, and respond most enthusiastically when the faith isn't "watered down. " He relates that, contrary to popular opinion among some DREs and other Catholic educators, teens don't run from the "tough teachings" when Catholic truth is taught with conviction. Teens are looking for a firm foundation in a changing world. The Catholic Church provides that foundation and Did Adam and Eve Have Belly Buttons? provides the kind of uncompromising answers that teens are hungry for. Matt Pinto insists that "Without a firm understanding of Catholic truth, young Catholics will flounder. They will be unsure of who they are and what they stand for. " But with the answers in this timely presentation, young Catholics will be equipped to embrace, explain, share and defend their faith. Did Adam and Eve Have Belly Buttons? is perfect for Confirmation class, RCIA, youth group or other religious education classes. Order today!.

Review Vows: The Story of a Priest, a Nun, and Their Son / Tantor Media:In a multi-generational tale of spirituality, Manseau tells the courageous story of his parents and how their decision has affected his own spiritual journey. Peter Manseau's deeply personal memoir is a meditation on family, church, faith and self. Oh, and God too. The story of rejecting the faith you are given, only to embrace it again in some form (or at least make peace with it) may seem familiar, but lost within the loving detail of Manseau's writing the reader discovers it anew. A spirit of tenderness and generosity permeates the pages of this story, but always leavened by unflinching honesty, the salt that keeps the flavor from the first page to the last. Manseau brings us into his sense of wonder as he traces the journey of his priest-father and his nun-mother who, if they had stayed true to their initial calling into the Catholic church, would have ensured he and his siblings never came to exist. Vows also brings us into the strong Boston Catholic culture of half a century ago, and near its end we find an unexpected left turn into the very heart of the sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the Roman church in 2005. But however intrinsic to the book these elements are, they only inform the story, and never overwhelm it. Primarily, as he traces the journey first of his parents, and then himself, we are left with a sense of joy over seeing how life itself tends unruly and writes its own story while we are busy making our plans. And though religion itself is on every page of the book, in forms both personal and institutional, the heart of the book is its humanity. [+]-Ed Dobeas.

Review Kingdom Keepers, The: Disney at Dawn (The Kingdom Keepers) (The Kingdom Keepers) / Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged Lib Ed:It’s supposed to be a happy day at the Magic Kingdom – the teenage holographic hosts have returned. But things go very wrong when a sudden lightning storm disrupts the celebration, and Amanda’s mysterious sister, Jez, disappears. The only clue is the sighting of a wild monkey in the Magic Kingdom during the storm. The mystery deepens as Finn is contacted by Wayne, an old man he hasn’t heard from in months. Wayne tells Finn that there’s trouble at the Animal Kingdom: the evil Overtakers have gained control of one of the computer servers that will be used to operate Daylight Holographic Imaging there. That means if any of the holographic hosts fall asleep, they will go into comas – permanently. Filled with action and brimming with the same meticulous detail as The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark (also available in audio from Brilliance Audio), this second audiobook in the series – Disney at Dawn – is the result of hands-on research behind the scenes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. Younger and older listeners alike will get a glimpse into a second Disney kingdom. The wild rides have only just begun, and the clock is ticking. How long can the teens keep themselves awake in their quest to find their friend – and what happens if they fail?.

Review Darkness Be My Friend (The Tomorrow Series #4) / Bolinda Publishing:Ellie and her friends had been rescued. Airlifted out of their own country to the safe haven of New Zealand, they'd arrived burnt and injured and shocked, with broken bones, and scars inside and out. They did not want to go back. But five months later the war is not over, the nightmares continue, and there are two compelling reasons for them to return: a planned sabotage of the air base in Wirrawee and, most important, the families they left behind. In this most recent episode of the tale begun in Tomorrow, When the War Began and continued in The Dead of Night and A Killing Frost, John Marsden takes us back to Hell, the outpost for a group of teens in a war-ravaged country. "Fans of this powerful series will not look forward to an early armistice. " (The Bulletin) There are only five of them left now. Ellie and her four friends, Lee, Homer, Kevin, and Fi, have reluctantly returned to New Zealand from Australia to lead more guerrilla attacks on the enemy (who invaded their country in the previous book, Tomorrow, When the War Began). The group has staged raids on their captive hometown Wirrawee from the wilderness sanctuary they call Hell, blowing up and burning enemy headquarters and bridges and supply depots, and killing with their bare hands when they must. By the end of the two sequels, The Dead of Night and A Killing Frost, they are strong and resourceful, but tired and soul-sick with the pervasive violence. [+]Two of them have been killed, and one has killed himself in despair. When they were rescued and airlifted to New Zealand, they thought the nightmare was over. But now they have been sent back to Wirrawee to guide a party of adult raiders on a planned sabotage of a strategic airfield. Something goes wrong; the adults never come back from the raid, and Ellie and her friends are again left on their own to do what they can-and must-to survive. Like John Marsden's other books, this story is immersed in darkness and dread. It's packed with almost unbearable suspense and breathtaking action, as the personalities and relationships of these decent country kids are eroded by the imperative for violence. Marsden fans will elbow each other aside for a copy of this one, and will look forward to the three new installments on the way. (Ages 12 and older) -Patty Campbell.

Review The Other Side of Dawn (The Tomorrow Series #7) / Bolinda Publishing:The seventh and final novel in this gripping internationally best-selling series. The lone band of teenage survivors face the final battle against the brutal army that has destroyed their country and murdered their friends and family. At last, an end to all the pain and suffering is in sight. The group of teenagers, led by Ellie, prepare to face the enemy one last time. But this final bid for freedom demands a head on confrontation with danger, with fear and with extreme bravery. The gang must accept that as the war draws to a close, the price of defeat is running higher than ever. At last, the final episode of the gripping Tomorrow series by wildly popular Aussie author John Marsden has crossed the Pacific, and this concluding chapter in the lives of Ellie, Fi, Homer, Kevin, and Lee may be the most exciting one yet. Informed by Colonel Finley that the military is making a move that could be compared to the D-day attack of WWII, the outback teen guerillas know that the end of the bewildering war that changed their lives is drawing near. Armed with plastic explosives and grenades, courtesy of the New Zealand Army, they have been instructed to "spread chaos and confusion behind their (enemy) lines in every way, shape and form. " For Ellie and company, this means targeting a hostile refueling station and train tracks. [+]Of course, nothing is ever easy. There are still the feral kids to worry about and the dismal discovery that soldiers have infiltrated Hell, their only secured hiding place in the bush. As The Other Side of Dawn rockets at breakneck speed towards its stunning climax, only one thing is certain: there is no guarantee that any of them will make it through this last conflict alive. Not a book for new recruits, The Other Side of Dawn will be most enjoyed by those hard-core fans who have been with Ellie and the gang from the beginning. Wirrawee buffs will be rewarded with classic Marsden: teeth-jarring action sequences interspersed with meaningful moments between friends who may not see the sunrise again together. This is a satisfying ending to a smashing good series. (Ages 13 and older) -Jennifer Hubert.
