    Pray for Tom Nelson. Former president of Tan Books. He may only have a few days left.


    I don't have any more information than that. I will keep you posted if I hear anything else.


    Update:

    I got an e-mail from a family member this morning.

    ...Tom Nelson is in the hospital, with a bleeding stomach, apparently dying. So of course, now is the time to pray!

    Regard all of my posts as unfounded slander, heresy, theologically specious etc

    NO is a good Mass.

    Patience is a conquering virtue. The learned say that, if it not desert you, It vanquishes what force can never reach; Why answer back at every angry speech? No, learn forbearance or, I'll tell you what, You will be taught it, whether you will or not.

  • So sad to hear. We will pray Tom Nelson, his family friends and everyone at TAN. 

    May God bless you and keep you

  • Is Mr Nelson still living?

    TAN "back in the day" was an awesome resource and I have many TAN books from those days.  As I always say, to paraphrase what Bill Buckley said about the Harvard faculty and the Boston phone book, I'd rather organize my spiritual life according to the first twenty books in the TAN catalog (or any twenty books selected at random), than the entire corpus of the Second Vatican Council docuмents.

    Sorry to hear about this Matthew--I know you mentioned he is family.

    Only God knows how many souls TAN books have touched over the years and brought back to the Church!  I bought my first Douay-Rheims Bible from TAN which I still have.  So many great books too numerous to mention!
