I am curious if anyone has read books by Fr. Robert Hugh Benson. I have finnished books by him titled Initiation, By What Authority, Come Rack! Come Rope!, The King's Achievement, St. Thomas A Becket, Letters to a Convert.
For a nice overview of him http://www.catholicauthors.com/benson.html and
TOPICS: Catholic; History; Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS:
I am currently reading, The Lord of the World. This book opens you up to all the modern religions running around the world today. You can find a copy of this online! http://litteratureaemporter.free.fr/romans/_arcs/benson_lord_of_the_world.htm

She wouldn't lend you her copy? :)
Hey, can I borrow yours when you're done?

The Lord of the World reads like a veiled prophecy of the times in which we are currently living -- especially now.
If I could, I would require every Catholic to read it -- along with Father Elijah and one other Michael D. O'Brien book.

and one other Michael D. O'Brien bookWhich one? I think I've read them all now. (And what ever happened to fellow FReeper "Father Elijah"?)
I throughly enjoyed "The Lord of the World," "Father Elijah," and Soloviev's "The Tale of Anti-Christ."
Wrath Of God: The Days Of The Antichrist analyzes "The Lord of the World" alongside "The Tale of Anti-Christ" and it too is worth a read.

Has your wife read By What Authority ? I personally enjoyed this one more than Come Rack Come Rope . In B y What Authority there is a chapter dedicated to an Ignation Retreat! When I read this, I felt like I just went on a refresher retreat.
There are a few reasons why I like Robert Hugh Benson's writing:
(1)You get your fiction and spiritual reading all at the same time.
(2) If you are reading his historical fictions, you meet martyrs within the time period and have conversations with them.
