...Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my church," Jesus said to St. Peter. Though Christians disagree on what Jesus meant, to Catholics it is clear that at that moment Christ formed the holy Church which has continued for 20 centuries. The Catholic Church is built upon sacred scripture and tradition, helping breathe life into the worlds of faith and action alike. Today, it is led by Pope John Paul II, whose most recent encyclical, "Fides ed Ratio" (faith and reason), speaks clearly to the rapidly accelerating pace of information transfer and change that "can leave especially the younger...

...Jesus Christ was a carpenter. Bob Hampton is a handyman. Actually, he's an aspiring but discouraged artist spending a summer in Los Angeles as a Mr. Fix-It, but Christ haunts this novel because Bob develops an odd knack for transforming the lives of those he works for--the lonely, the helpless, the disconnected. Bob also sleeps with a lot of his clients, but he brings them clarity and color, a transcendent color that eventually finds its way onto his canvases. With this compelling work, one that requires some suspension of disbelief, See evokes an L.A. rarely seen...
