Celebrating Books

I love books and am grateful to have a part in Circle Media's own Circle Press. To borrow words from the computer world, books are the most durable, portable, navigable ways to experience a work — and there is never any connectivity problem.

Our celebration of books starts on page one with Tim Drake's excellent interview with Piers Paul Read, the British author whose new book, The Death of a Pope, is published by Ignatius Press. Drake's conversation with him continues in the next issue.

The celebration continues, on the books and education page, with our recommended "summer reading special."

And last but not least, it ends in Dublin (my native city), with the very important and most beautiful book: the Book of Kells.

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Next week, the Bishops of the United States will meet in Orlando and consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Bishop Kevin Rhoades to explain the importance of the consecration and how we can all take part and then Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell tells us about the remarkable phenomenon of diocesan priests living in community.
