They're everywhere

Posted by deirdrehbrt on May 9, 2004, at 21:17:32

I found this book, "Why am I afraid to tell you who I am?". At first it seemed to be a good little book, but I wanted to check out the author. His name is John Powell, S.J. I tended to like Jesuit authors in the past, as they are usually very well educated, and have very clear thinking.
Well, this is one thing that I found: http://www.nbc5.com/news/2464713/detail.html?z=dp&dpswid=2265994&dppid=65194
I guess this is a good time to think about studying the author as well as their work.

Did you decide to read the book, or did the news story disuade you?

I was reading the book, and was about 1/4 way through when I found out. It stopped me quite quickly. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with the book.
It's strange though, that the subject was something that I struggle with. It's hard for me to trust people, to not be afraid of them. It's as if people like that know how to find a way in.
Such is life. I won't be reading anything of his again.

What to do with the book? Just a suggestion -- is there an order of Jesuits near you? Do they have a library? Give them a donation.
