LINCOLN, Neb. (CNS) -- Bishop Fabian W. Bruskewitz of Lincoln has written a second book, "The Catholic Church: Jesus Christ Present to the World." Like his first book, the 349-page volume is a collection of columns he wrote over the years for the Southern Nebraska Register, the diocesan newspaper. Bishop Bruskewitz has been writing the weekly column, "An Ordinary Viewpoint," since 1992, when he became bishop of Lincoln. The first collection of columns, "A Shepherd Speaks," was published in 1997 by Ignatius Press. Thomson-Shore is the publisher of the new book, which covers a wide range of topics including the sacraments, vocations, Catholic schools, matters of faith and various contemporary issues. Bishop Bruskewitz said he received a positive response to his first book and after a while began receiving requests for a second volume. The new book costs $12.95 plus $5 for postage and handling.
