Makes one think . . . Oct 01, 2009
This lovely story about a real-life nun and the kind of work she does at hospitals with the young and old provides an interesting way to introduce the concept of God and prayer to a child. With all the proceeds of the book being donated to Boston area hospitals, a nunnery, and a school, I think the author should be commended for putting her money where her mouth is. A true inspiration.
NUN OF THAT has everything Jul 08, 2009
I purchased this book for my granddaughters,ages seven and nine, and we read it together. They loved this book about a sister who was a chaplain. They were impressed with all the things she did, and how much she helped patients and their families. They were particularly impressed with her answers about death, and God's love for us all--all from a woman who could bake cookies. Sensitively written,it is informative, poignant, inspiring and a tribute to a woman who responded with dignity and grace to God's call. As a teacher, as well as a grandmother, I highly recommend it for young children to be read to, or early elementary age to read. I also find it commendable that the proceeds of all book sales will go to Boston Medical Center, where Sister Claire Hayes last served.

A Nun of That Apr 05, 2009
I was not totally pleased. I ordered the book; made an error on my credit card number. Fixed the error as you directed. Somehow, it all got messed up and I received a double order. I kept the extra 2 books and paid for them. I didn't think I wanted to end up with a third order. It was my fault because of the original error, but your system fell a little short, too. Usually I am most pleased. I just wasn't as pleased this time.
Thank you for your usually great service. It's Lent, so I forgive you for the mixup this time.
Sister Joan Albaugh, CDP

We need more books like this one Feb 23, 2009
Colleen Frye does a wonderful job describing her friend Sister Claire, and the antics she was so well known for. While I never had the pleasure of meeting her, through Ms. Frye's stories, one comes away feeling as if they have known the Sister for years. Stories both heartwarming and tender yet comical
This is a wonderful book to be read over and over again to children. The message of who a true hero is comes through on every page. The realistic subjects of life and death are handled tenderly.
The illustrations are a beautiful addition to a wonderful story. It was a pleasure.

Perfect for young adults and the young-at-heart in general! Dec 17, 2008
A Nun of That! is a warm, funny homage to a nun who really knew how to live, and how to love. This delightful book, like its main character (and like its author), has a terrific sense of humor and just keeps on giving. Author Colleen Frye knew her subject well and rendered her heroine as a real character--in every sense of the word.... We readers are all, thanks to Ms. Frye, the better for having known Sister Claire.
