Kindle: The Mystery of Harry Potter

It's here! The Kindle edition of The Mystery of Harry Potter is here!

The Mystery of Harry Potter Returns

Friends,
It is about time The Mystery of Harry Potter became an ebook, don't you think? I think so too. It has been six years, and although Harry Potter is no longer new, and although J.K. Rowling said more than she should have about Dumbledore, I still enjoy reading Harry Potter when the mood behooves me. Only now I read them on my Kindle, still checked out from my local library. Entering the world of Harry Potter is not unlike entering the world of the Lord of the Rings, or Narnia—or Star Trek or Star Wars for that matter.

Although certainly not as popular as they once were, still, Harry Potter is popular. They just came out with new cover editions, so people are still interested.

And young Catholic families still have to discern whether or not to let their kids read Harry Potter. You still hear rumors that the books are bad. J.K. Rowling is bad. You still hear the books are good, the story is good, reading the story with your children is good. That's me, I say that.

Later today, the Kindle edition should be live. Look for it. Read the books together.

Subsidiarity

This is a new book, and it's really important. Floriani is a Chestertonian who is, as Dale Ahlquist says, a Complete Thinker. This book will take you to places you've never been and get your imagination flowing with ideas of how YOU can put the principle of subsidiarity to practical use in your life starting the moment you read it. It opened my eyes to the practical and common sense principle that should rule all our lives and work and government and neighborhoods and legal situations and more.

My Amazon.com review:
Anyone desiring to know and understand the principle of Subsidiarity must read this book. Not only does it explain the theoretical idea, but the author provides real life examples that clearly illustrate Subsidiarity in action in today's world.

It would be a benefit for all students high school to college to read. All college professors should read. Anyone who owns a business should read. Anyone who works should read--especially those in management. Anyone in government should read. All law students and lawyers should read. Anyone who has a family should read.

Subsidiarity is a principle few understand and till now there was little by way of explanation. This book fills that void. Highly Recommended.
