Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary
Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary - Justin Green,Art Spiegelman I read this! I can't remember much of it, that's why it's bad to read unwieldy books when one is very sleepy.

Book Review - The Divine Family: Experiential Narratives
The Divine Family: Experiential Narratives - Marcelle Bartolo-Abela

“Before sharing my thoughts on the book I want to mention that I am not going to state my belief or lack of belief in the narratives described in this book. Each person who reads the book can decide for him or herself whether or not he or she believe the words contained therein. It is not my place to judge either way and I will leave my comments to the actual content of the book.

 

“Having said that, The Divine Family is a short (84 pages), beautifully written book that describes the Archangels Michael and Rafael, the Blessed Virgin and Jesus. It also describes Satan and vividly points out that hell is very real and that it only takes one moral sin for us to go there. The author even directly questions non-believers who may be reading the book and one of the questions she asks is, “Do you really want to wait until you are dead to find out whether all this [hell] is true?” More importantly, though, the book, through the experiences of the author, reminds us how deeply we are loved and cherished by the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

 

“In sharing her experiences, the author relates her experience of the power of the Sacrament of Confession and her experience of the illumination of conscious (something spoken about by many mystics). She also relates several experiences of communication with the Virgin Mary, Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit. As I read these experiences, I could almost tangibly feel God’s love.

 

“There wasn’t anything in the book that struck me as being doctrinally unsound or contrary to Catholic faith and morals. So, even if the experiences aren’t true, they are worth reading because I am sure they will lift your heart up to the Triune God, as it did for me.”

Marcelle Bartolo-Abela urges the world's people to take time every day to honor their creator. The text of "Thoughts for the Day: Reflections for the Soul" offers insight into Catholicism and what being a true Christian means in the author's view.

While I do not share the author's faith, I found the book easy to read and follow. Many of the meditations or reflections work to inspire a closer examination of one's purpose in life and place in the universe, no matter what religion you are.

Something I would like to see in future editions is an expansion upon each meditation. Maybe a page for the reader to write some thoughts and then upon turning the page, the author's explanation of that particular reflection in life.

The book contains many beautiful quotes, allusions, and thoughts. I believe this is a Christian-niche book that could find a wider audience if the author wrote an introduction explaining the purpose of meditation across religious bounds.
