History Lesson

I had asked about history resources below and I went and did a bit of investigating. I will put these titles on the sidebar as well. The books I'm using are "The Compact History of the Catholic Church" by the esteemed Dr Alan Schreck, "The Catholic Church: The first 2000 Years. A popular survey and study guide to Church History" by Martha Rasmussen, and "What Were The Crusades" by Jonathon Riley-Smith. I also found a great book on Heresies, "Dissent From The Creed: Heresies Past And Present" by Richard Hogan.

Of course I would be remiss if I didn't not mention Hilaire Belloc. He's a bit old school to read, but quite excellent. He has several books out. (I say that as if he were still alive and doing a book signing down at Barnes and Noble).
