Here's what I've been up to....
My newest book, Your Guide to Spe Salvi: Saved in Hope is now available from Pauline Books and Media. This guided tour of Pope Benedict's remarkable encyclical on Christian hope makes his rich but challenging teaching accessible to a wide audience. In these difficult days, the virtue of hope is more important than ever. [To view the images discussed on pp. 74-75 of my book, go to my bookstore page.]
In the meantime, forget Spider-Man and Ironman, and get to know some real heroes. My previous book, Saints for Our Times: New Novenas and Prayers, is also available from Pauline Books and Media.
With anticipation high over the imminent publication of Pope Benedict's next encyclical (said to be a social encyclical called Caritas in Veritate), Pauline Books and I are already anticipating a companion book.
My articles continue to appear in several popular Catholic newspapers and magazines.
Feel free to take a look around. Read an article or two. Stop by and visit my blog, The Tail End. I'm glad you came by.
