This is NOT about prophecy. Guardini is concerned with the problems that face our current epoch and with how we approach the next. Though some will find fault with Guardini simply for being a Catholic, I found his assessment of the modern collapse of Western civilization very astute. His observations regarding "power" and it's becoming the driving force in the coming epoch are salient. I also found merit in his application of the Christian faith to the issue compelling. His theology, though not evangelical per se, has depth. Very insightful and enlightening reading. I finished this book in August.
A conversational listing of my quirky reading interests. This blog is for those of us who love reading and enjoy the gift of books. It's not a "perfect" list to show orthodoxy - not trying to prove anything. My opinions are in fun and in a spirit of helpfulness. Let's keep it friendly. I'm often asked two questions, "What are you reading lately?" and "Why don't you blog?" This is my attempt to answer both questions. I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping in and I hope you visit often!

- A wooded mountain path, a clear rolling stream, a faithful dog by my side, the company of family and friends, a stack of compelling books, and a steaming cup of black coffee - these are a few of my favorite things.
