My hope when writing When Faith Feels Fragile was to identify these struggles, encourage those who have them, and offer practical (even fun!) ways to work through them. Doubts and faith struggles...

I had no intention of writing this book. It wasn’t even on my radar screen. I... Read more

PETE: What prompted you to write about perhaps the most contested relics in Church history, St. Peter’s bones? THOMAS CRAUGHWELL: I became especially interested in the story of the rediscovery of St. Peter’s relics after a 2006 visit to Rome when I toured the Scavi, the excavations below St. Peter’s Basilica, where the tomb of St. Peter was found in 1942. Through a glass door, I could see inside the tomb and see his bones—it was an unforgettable experience and,... Read more
