It is an apologetic of joy for that most delightful of degustatory experiences. An essay of sass, a versification in poetic veracity, a true offering of fellowship to you and praise to God. We hope you enjoy it, brief as it is.
A review of Christian Pipe Smoking on Gospel Spam.
Another review at the Torrey Gazette.
So buy it already! And happy puffing to you, brother.
Just bought a copy through AmazonSmile. So Amazon made a donation to "Cardinal Newman Society for the Preservation of Catholic Higher Education"...for what is higher than the Art of Christian Pipe Smoking?
ReplyDeleteOpening line of the acknowledgements made me laugh out loud. Looking forward to reading the rest!
Very pleased. Thank you!
DeleteThis was quite well done! We have begun doing this at our church picnics and I think it has been good.
ReplyDeletePS, really enjoyed the thoughts about the ritual of it, as well as the patience of the pipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece. Spread the word! :-)
DeleteI just purchased your book and read it while waiting for our Christmas mass to begin. I appreciated the part about how many turn away from pipe smoking because of the time and effort involved since that very thing kept me from it for a long time and directed me towards cigars with their quick light and billows of smoke. But I've finally discovered the joy of the pipe. Blessings to you, sir, on this merry Christmas day!
ReplyDeleteI just purchased and read the book and I will be recommending it to all of my briar smoking book reading brothers. God's blessings to you and your family on this glorious Christmas day!
ReplyDeleteTo you and yours as well. We appreciate your support!
