The Bible Is a Catholic Book is exactly the book I wanted to read when I started to read Who Wrote the Bible?. Akin takes us through the history of non-verbal communication & the development of writing to the composition of the Old Testament; the oral spread of the Gospel in the years following the Passion, Death, & Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; the timing of the composition of the New Testament; & then the establishment of the canon of the Scriptures by the Church. As an added bonus, since Akin is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, he also highlights the self-refuting incoherence of the doctrine of sola scriptura & the Protestant canon.
We'll have to do a Popish Plot episode, or three, about The Bible Is a Catholic Book during vEaster.
I facilitated a study of No Greater Love during Lent 2019, watching the videos & going through the workbook, but I was unsuccessful in reading the accompanying book, No Greater Love, only certain chapters of which are explicitly referenced in the video study. Through the first week of Lent 2020, I made no progress reading No Greater Love as a daily devotional. Thus, No Greater Love jumped to the top of the queue, being more seasonally topical that either O'Connor's or Sheen's books, & I really hope to get through it before the Paschal Triduum.
