This Perverse Generation Paperback - 2021

"This book is a treasure trove of profoundly practical insights for living and loving faithfully in the twenty-first century. Just as St. Francis saw Assisi more accurately not as a fortified stronghold of safety and wealth but as a city hanging upside down by a providential thread, so does Carol Robinson evaluate the tenuous state of America. With Thomistic clarity and Chestertonian wit, she pierces through our current clouded state of affairs. In this small and efficient book, Robinson's language is clear; and so are her ideas as she probes philosophical and theological truths in a very accessible way. Reminiscent of Frank Sheed (this book was first published by Sheed & Ward), Robinson offers us sanity. As Sheed put it around the time this book was published, "seeing God everywhere and all things upheld by Him is not a matter of sanctity, but of plain sanity, because God is everywhere and all things are upheld by Him. What we do about it may be sanctity, but merely seeing it is sanity." It might surprise you as you read this book just how much continuity exists between Robinson's 1949 world and our own. But the insanity has heightened exponentially. Her clarity was prophetic for those in her day; it is a lifeboat for us today." - From the Foreword
