Is this church a sacred space, or a DJ-spinning nightclub? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first time I visited London, I hit all the tourist spots. I was overdosing on history, architecture, culture, and though only 20 years old and traveling on my own, felt I had somehow arrived as some kind of international man of travel. As a Catholic, historic churches and cathedrals have always been on my “must-see” list wherever I travel. London was an overwhelmingly rich environment for such activity. Westminster Abbey had enough Church and British history to keep me enthralled for 10 trip
‘House of David’ might be as good as the ‘book’ it came from (opens the original)

Back in the days when people still read books, a bestseller had the power to capture the public’s imagination and become a driver of popular culture. This phenomenon goes back a long way through human history.

While down for the count with a summer cold that included a visit to the local urgent care facility, I had just enough energy to lie on my couch and manipulate a TV remote control. But there are only so many English murder-mystery shows you can watch, unless you are my wife. I needed something a little more real.
