I've read all of Keating's books and this one's my favorite. I finished it in one sitting. Could not put it down. I read it in a park, and passersby must have thought me a kook. I'd laugh (while reading the chapter about some of the reactions to Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth, a booklet published by Catholic Answers that simply explains Catholic beliefs) then I'd cry (while reading the chapter on old Japan) then I'd howl in anger (when I read about a scientist trying to put words in the mouth of Pope John Paul II about evolution).
