TC asks: "
Can Catholics read Vassula Rydens books? I bought “Heaven is Real but so is Hell” at a Catholic bookstore. I asked the clerk if this book was approved by the Catholic Church and he said yes. I looked up info on the internet and became very confused if the Church warned us not to read her books. Please let me know if I should return the book. I don’t want to read anything that is dangerous to my faith."

Besides praying for the Holy Ghost to enlighten my friend's mind, on Oprah's Life Classes, do you have any suggestions as to what to say about them not being Christian? I've been to her site where she has New Age speakers, and know about Oprah, from reading your excellent article on her under New Age. Any explanations or other good information on these classes would be very helpful."

The deacon of my church recommends reading books from Terry Hershey. I have not read any of his books. Are these books considered New Age? I couldn't find anything about this in your blog."

I gained it all back during a stressful time. Something doesn't sit right with me regarding nutrition but I like the fasting between meals. Wondering what your thoughts are?"
