Mustard Seeds: A Conservative Becomes a Catholic, by L. Brent Bozell (Trinity Communications, 360 pp., $22.95 hardcover; $12.95 paper)

The kingdom of God is like a grain of mustard seed which, when sown upon the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds upon the earth; yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than any herb, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the air can dwell beneath its shade.
