Need a Catholic Gift Idea?

I know I'm always looking for good gift ideas during this time of year, so I thought I'd share two of my favorites with you. As a family, we make a point of giving Christian-related items during the holiday as much as possible and often books tend to fit the bill. Please leave a comment if you recommend any particular gift idea this season.

The perfect gift for parents: A Landscape with Dragons by Micheal O'Brien. I can't recommend this book enough as it deals with the images and ideas modern society would put into your child's mind. The book gives parents the tools necessary to differentiate between good and bad tv, movies, etc. I wrote a review of this book earlier. Highly recommended.

And for those without children: Triumph by H.W. Crocker III is an excellent book on the first 2,000 years of the Catholic Church. It's a very readable and very accurate portrayal of history that gives you some tidbits of knowledge to use if anyone ever makes some inane comment about the Church. Also highly recommended.
