Today, we turn the “book notes spotlight” on one of my favorite authors, Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, as we celebrate the launch of his newest book When the Church Was Young: Voices of the Early Fathers. In my review of this book, I shared: In the same way that I used to lovingly tell my sons bedtime stories about our family of origin to help them proudly appreciate and more fully love their ancestors, Marcellino D’Ambrosio offers us the story of our Fathers,...

Yesterday, I shared with you my initial impressions about that perky little goldfish who “graces” the cover of my soon-to-be released book The Grace of Yes. It seems that from the moment the cover was unveiled, people couldn’t stop asking about him. He’s taken on a life of his own, as has the “Y”/MartiniGlassishContainer he appears to spring from on the book cover. When you see the “real” cover, you will be amazed at how my golden buddy appears to literally jump... Read more

This portion of his remarks truly moved me: Paul VI also challenges us to see evangelization as more than just a one-on-one encounter, but also the transformation of society and culture.... Read more

Since the book cover for my new project “The Grace of Yes” was debuted a few months ago, many people have asked me about the significance of that spunky goldfish enthusiastically jumping out of a what appears to some as a martini glass. “Why the fish?” they ask. “And what’s in the glass?” they want to know. First let me share with you that most Catholic authors do not design their own book covers. That’s definitely the case with this... Read more
It’s been a quiet week here on the blog. Last weekend, I had the honor of speaking in the Archdiocese of Portland. Upon my return, I scooped up my dear friend Pat Gohn and headed into “retreat mode”.

She is a noted podcaster, blogger, speaker and the author of the absolutely fabulous book Blessed, Beautiful and Bodacious: Celebrating the Gift of Catholic Womanhood. Luckily for me, Pat was in my home diocese (while... Read more
