To Light a Fire on the Earth

Short review: This is really a book by John Allen with participation by Robert Barron. Barron is the subject of the book. It isn't quite a biography, but has biographical elements. It is half biographical exploration of Barron and half exploration of Catholic issues of evangelism.

I intentionally try to read outside of my standard Evangelical-ish Christian world. So I picked this up on sale on kindle because I have followed Barron for a while. But it is not really worth more than the $1.99 I paid for it. It is somewhat fluffy in its biography. And while it does give some insight to the people and issues around Barron, it doesn't really deeply explore them.

My somewhat longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/to-light-a-fire/
