...so I thought I'd put a pic of him on my blog. Hurrah for our dear Holy Father - and if you haven't yet read his book Jesus of Nazareth, go out quickly and either buy a copy (it's not expensive) or order one at your local library. (You do this by simply asking for it, and if neccessary filling in a card - you may have to pay about 50p, but for goodness' sake, it's worth it. Ordering a copy in this way ensures that not only will they get a copy for you, but it will then later be on the shelves for others. Go on. Do it today). The book really makes you think about who Christ was, and who he claimed to be, and why we still number our years after his birth, and why it all matters, and why it's no use simply trying to dismiss him with cliches.
I must add something absurd: if you Google for " Catholic Pope Benedict images" you get - among lots of other images - a pic of apples and one of blackberries, taken from this Blog! Which just goes to show that the Internet has its daft side too.

We're doing his book in September for our Catholic Women's Book Club...anyone in the Midlands area welcome...
I too have bought this book for our book club, and I left it on the selection table with trepidation as there are only 3 Catholics in our book club of 12 members. I have yet to read it but was enthused and excited by the blurb and as it's book written by His Holiness it can only be brilliant! I can't wait for the responses to this book.
That's amazing evangelisation alyson! All 14 of us women are traditional Catholics..by that i mean ordinary!
