The Bad Catholic’s Guide to Wine, Whiskey, & Song: A Spirited Look at Catholic Life & Lore from the Apocalypse to Zinfandel (Bad Catholic’s guides)
Customer Review: Amazing book
I am amazed by this book. The book is organized, alphabetically, by the alcoholic beverage being discussed. In the course of discussing a wine or other potent potable, one learns European and US History, the history of the Church. One learns about Saints, about economics, about conspiracies, about theology. All done in a delightful way.
There is nothing a good Catholic need wince at here.
Each article is just about the right length for a short reading, perhaps after dinner, or perhaps by yourself while waiting for a ride to the ABC store.
Customer Review: Great book!
It is difficult to say anything about this book that has not been said already. Be sure to check out the 1st book in the series too: The Bad Catholic's Guide to Good Living
1) It is irreverent... but FULL OF LOVE for the Church and Her history.
2) It is funny and campy, but proclaims the truth.
3) It has great drinking songs that gently poke fun at protestants...
4) And best of all, great drink recipes and party ideas.
All in all... AWESOME BOOK.
