  • Review 1: “The Whiteheads take us on a spellbinding journey through Catholic literature born in the turbulent and transformative times of the 20th century. In these pages, we encounter the monk, the misft, the scientist-mystic, the social revolutionary, to name a few. Far from being rosy-colored idealists, the Whiteheads reveal the deep humanity of these writers who preserved and celebrated a divine vision of the world. This may well be their best book to date.” Terry A. Veling, Australian Catholic University “The Whiteheads have written an eloquent evocation of Catholic imagination that could be the basis for a catechism for 21st Century Catholic believers. . . . If you are not Catholic or theologically inclined but love literature, you will still devour this book. It is a treasure-trove of insights of major novels in the last century with enough engaging quotes to spark your reflections and conversations for a good while.” Herbert Anderson, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago “The reader will be amazed by the myriad ways in which these authors, conjurers really, fnd daily life and the rituals of the ordinary to be magically ‘lit from within’ and sacramentally ‘charged by the grandeur of God.’ Highly recommended.” Professor M Katherine Tillman, University of Notre Dame
