Generosity works. . .

See how this works?

Because my book benefactors have been so generous lately, enough of my book budget has been freed up that I can take advantage of the great deal offered by the folks at Faith Data Base and purchase their CD of classical literary Church treasures.

There are hundreds of useful resources on this data base. . .all for about $30!

Thanks again and again!

  1. Thank you for telling us about this! I'd never heard of it, and have just ordered it.

  2. Fr. Philip,

    "The Anthropic Cosmological Principle" is on the way. It's coming Standard International Shipping, so not quickly...but you should have it in time for Christmas.

  3. Will, you're a Good Kid! Many thanks...as for the shipping...well, I've learned that it doesn't much matter how fast you ship it from the US or the UK...once it hits the Italian post office it slows down to a crawl...relative time and all that... :-)

  4. I sent a book too, on November 7th. Amazon estimates it will arrive December 16th. This must take some getting used to!

  5. Elizabeth, it does! Believe me, it does. Even books from the UK takes weeks. I ordered a book from Abebooks on Oct. 12. Still not here.

    Anyway, it teaches me patience! Thanks for the book!
