I note that many Australians (Marco included) have been having trouble getting a hold of the Pope’s book “Jesus of Nazareth”. I had mine on pre-publication order with one firm that still doesn’t have it in stock, but was able to find a copy early on at the Central Catholic Bookshop which got its hands on a few cartons (fallen off the back of a truck?). I am about half-way through it (reading interupted by Harry Potter VII, would you believe?) and am enjoying the simple pleasure of reading about a subject that is dear to the author’s heart and mine.
But spare a thought for the poor folk in the Congo–which seems even more isolated (just) than Australia.
David, we have it on the shelf ready to send on your phone/internet order at http://www.Mustardseed.org.au, or 0296433660. Most phone orders are sent on the same day!

I purchased a copy on my vacation in July but I have yet to sit down and start reading.
I am hoping others who have read it in part or in toto will share their thoughts on the book.
From the bit I’ve perused I think I’m going to like it very much.
