Church Trilogy Treasures of the Church

Readers comments: Dear Bob and Penny: I said that I was going to write you a letter when I got into the middle of your Church Trilogy, Treasures of the Church, Tragedy of the Reformation and Cults, Battle of the Angels.

I knew that I was reading something STRONG, FORTIFIED AND ARMORED. I remember feeling this way when I was 13 years old and being confirmed by Bishop Thomas J. Toolen. I feel like I am wearing new armor, just like I did that night of the Confirmation ceremony. My husband and I met you not too long ago in Folsom, Louisiana at the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. It was great seeing you two in person. You are just like I thought you were.

We were baptized Roman Catholics as children and have been Catholics all our lives, except some years we were away also. But now we are back and have had our marriage blessed in the Church and are stronger than ever. My husband was born in a small town in Texas. The Bishop of that diocese came to Confirm all the children no matter what age. At that time my husband was only 1 year old, so he did not go through the reading and studying and testing for two weeks before Confirmation like the rest of us did. So now every chance I get, I read to him about his Faith. Right now those three books are like a big steak and potatoes for him.

He wants to know everything about the Faith. The first book, Treasures of the Church was great. It really told of the Love of God and how much He has given us. And we have so much to Thank Him for. We can take the Lord into our hearts and souls everyday, through the Holy Eucharist (if we weren't so lazy) and let Him lead us, feed us and give us great graces. Just think, Our Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts and souls everyday.

Then the second book, Tragedy of the Reformation, I guess I didn't pay much attention, when I was going to Parochial School. When I graduated grammar school and went into public high school, I needed to have all these tools to warn me about walking in dangerous territory. Going to Mass only on Sunday with family, instead of two, three or more times during the week, and learning to sings hymns in Latin. That's what I remember of my youth and reading your books brought it all back.

The second and third books, Tragedy of the Reformation and Cults, Battle of the Angels, turned my straight hair curly. We found out that "religions" that were not Roman Catholic were not necessarily Religion. We found out about Cults and Sects. We really were amazed and became instructed. If they only knew the Blessed Trinity as we do.

We want to thank you, Bob and Penny for all the work that you do. And all the trials and tribulations that you go through for all of us. The demons can't stand for us to read the books also, but it was worth reading these beautiful books. All we can say is KEEP UP THE GOOD AND HOLYWORK. God Bless you two again for all that you do for us wayward lambs.

Love in Christ, E. A. L. Ponchatoula, LA
