When it comes to
Ireland and anything Irish, Timothy O'Donnell can't be topped. Whether
you're talking about his house, named Tir Connaill, or his children, Colleen,
Niall, Hugh, Brigid, Dubh, Rory, Connor, Kieran, and Declan, everyone
would agree that Dr. O'Donnell is what some would label an "Irish fanatic."
Which is, of course, a good thing in an author, when you are looking to
learn the truth about Irish history.
Swords Around the Cross, The Nine Years War, written by Dr. Timothy
O'Donnell, President of Christendom College, has recently been published
by Christendom Press (800-698-6649 or www.christendom.edu/press/index.html)
and is about to take the Irish (and everyone who wants to be Irish) world
by storm. Taking five years to research and write, Swords Around the
Cross "will be read with much interest by those who wish to know more
about a somewhat neglected chapter in the history of Ireland," according
to Cahal Cardinal Daly, Archbishop Emeritus of Armagh, IRELAND.
The book is a full-length treatment of the heroic struggle of the Catholic
clansmen in Ireland in their courageous effort to defend their Faith and
country against English encroachment and conquest during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I.
Writing a gripping and dramatic narrative from an unabashedly Catholic
viewpoint, Dr. O'Donnell has made this story come to life, revealing it
as an important and formative period of Irish history.
Whether your name's O'Donnell, O'Neill, or just plain old Smith, this
is one Irish history book that will give you the meat and potatoes of
the story, without all of the fat, and feed you the insight you need to
be proud of your Irish Catholic heritage.
On March 15th, Dr. Timothy O'Donnell will be signing copies of his recently
released Irish history book, "Swords Around The Cross, The Nine Years
War." Dr. Warren Carroll will also be present to sign copies of his recently
released book, "The Cleaving of Christendom." The book signings will take
place in the St. Lawrence Commons on Christendom's Front Royal campus
prior to the College's St. Patrick's Day celebration at 6pm. In addition,
On March 17th, Dr. O'Donnell will be signing copies of his book at Sacred
Heart Catholic Church (Winchester, VA), after the 5:30pm Mass in Muldowney
Hall, during the Ancient Order of Hibernians St. Patrick's Day Celebration.
And later that evening, Dr. O'Donnell will be available at the Rivendell
Club in Front Royal, VA from 9pm-midnight to sign his book.
