TESTIMONIALS

“With his training in architecture and theology, Tonino Vicari demonstrates the beauty, wisdom, and logic of the Catholic faith in this compelling volume. Drawing upon Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and outstanding works of art, Elements of Christianity makes an ideal textbook for   higher level catechetical classes and adult education. In 1802 François-René de Chateaubriand published his Genius of Christianity as a response to the anti-clericalism of the French Enlightenment. In a similar way, Tonino Vicari has published a book on the beauty of the Catholic faith that responds to the secular culture of today.” – Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D. Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan

“Tonino Vicari has produced a handy compendium of our Catholic faith tradition, which will be of great help to students entering into their studies and a resource for those who teach them.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy

Review by Christine Sunderland
Review by Mary Grenchus

The Word in Your Heart: Mary, Youth and Mental Health

by Francis Etheredge

Running away at 14. Attempting suicide. Pill prescriptions for almost every mental health condition: Marketing or medicine? The exponential rise of the medicalization of children. Personal experience. Conversion. Listening. Catechesis. Pilgrimage. The word of God. The Immaculate Conception. Our times and an antidote!

 In the lives of young people, the help of the word of God to uncover what is hidden (cf. Ps. 19: 12), and to heal it, seems completely underdeveloped. Discover what makes sense of who we are and where hope is to be found! And life! And love!

TESTIMONIALS

“An extraordinary book, buzzing and chock-a-block with ideas, information, aphorisms and incidents that are all telling in the overall purpose of the book, which is to help heal emotional and spiritual wounds. It’s quite clear that the author himself has experienced many, if not most, of the ‘wounds’ he outlines, sometimes very graphically. The cornucopia we have here can possibly be criticised as too much; perhaps a little pruning might have been in order, but that said, I learnt so much from reading this book: about pilgrimage, about Catholicism (I am not a Roman Catholic), about Lourdes and Fatima, about the miracle of Jordan Peterson’s wife, Tammy, about mental health, body problems, loneliness, gun violence opioids, addiction, abortion and JK Rowling being at Rock Bottom. It really is quite breathless – and oh! Good also to see Dante quoted at least 3 times. So, all in all, quite an incredible book, and I think as my final observation in this brief encomium, one that is ideal for dipping into: you will find wisdom almost anywhere you dip!” – James Sale, poet and feature writer for the Epoch Times (see his page on Amazon)

“In this book, Francis Etheredge invites us to accompany him and 270 young people on the road to Lisbon for World Youth Day 2023. Woven into the background of this pilgrimage, Francis relates his own life’s woundedness with searing honesty and his joys with gratitude. Drawing extensively on the writings of Pope Francis, the example of numerous Saints and Blesseds and, above all, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, he maps a route for healing – for himself and for young people across the earth. Equipped with ‘beads, fragments and pieces,’ he charts a pathway through the many stresses and influences affecting young people today, particularly in the field of mental health. I found his reflections and prayers to be thoughtful and thought-provoking, calling me and all of us to discern anew our relationship with God and with each other in the healing light of Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.” – Andy Doyle, OP

“Life and the exploration of faith is indeed a pilgrimage of intense soul searching, desirably beginning amid youth and lasting through a lifetime of the discovery of the power and love of God as the Father and Jesus as our Son and Savior. The Word in Your Heart: Mary, Youth, and Mental Health is an incredibly thought-provoking and insightful, revelational book about the deep abiding love of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God born of the Virgin Mary. The book dives into deep waters of human suffering and the vital cry for mental and emotional securities from an author who understands the hard times and challenges of being a youth and gaining and growing in the knowledge and love of our Savior. The abiding love that Mary shared as a pure and Holy Mother and the transformational spirit of Jesus Christ to this generation is conveyed in a way that can quite probably bring new life and healing to those who read it. I highly recommend this transformational book.” – Teresa J. Herbic, Award-Winning Author, Script Writer and Editor, Brand Marketing and Public Relations Professional, and Adoptive Mom, Child, and Orphan Care Leader

“This intriguing book, inspired by the experience of the author as he travelled to World Youth Day, invites the reader to embark on a healing pilgrimage in the company of Mary. It addresses a myriad of pressing issues facing us today, focusing particularly on the challenges and vulnerabilities of young people. Inspired by the spirituality of the Neocatechumenal Way, Etheredge presents a collection of reflections stemming from his personal story, enriched by insights from the Christian tradition. What shines through is his passionate conviction that only an encounter with God, in Scripture, in the Christian Community, in the Sacraments, can restore us to health and bring about a spiritual renewal adequate to the confounding confusion of the world.” – Brian K. Reynolds, Fu Jen Catholic University, author of Gateway to Heaven: Marian Doctrine and Devotion in the Patristic and Medieval Periods

“This book is impactful and deals with much that is plaguing culture. The author masterfully lays the groundwork for the understanding of our beautiful faith, and that mercy and grace are available for the asking. The reader will be changed by this book, and the reader will go forth and change the world.” – William Hemsworth M.Div, columnist at Patheos, and Partner/Director at CatholicismRocks

“Francis captures the essence of pilgrimage in his latest work The Word in Your Heart and invites the reader on a journey to Lisbon via interwoven narratives. In turn, each story recounted serves as a catechetical waypoint. This book – a lifetime in the making – is itself a collection of biographies gathered together symphonically and revealing the grand interpersonal context within which God’s Will operates.” – Vanco Hristov: BSc(Hons), GradDipPsych, PhD candidate (UoM)

“In The Word in Your Heart: Mary, Youth and Mental Health, Francis Etheredge addresses the important subject of mental health problems among today’s youth. Written in the backdrop of World Youth Day 2023 (Lisbon, Portugal), Francis offers his personal story of suffering and redemption as a means to inspire young people to seek hope through God’s love. Highlighting the vital ‘tripod’ of God’s words (Scripture), liturgy, and community, Francis reminds young people – and everyone – of their deepest identity as children of God called to live life to the full (Jn 10:10). With the rise of in mental health issues, particularly among youth, this book serves as a timely reminder that nobody, no matter how broken, is beyond God’s healing love and grace.” – Eric Manuel Torres, BHlthSci, MOrthoptics (LaTrobe), MNSc (Melb), GradDipTheol, MTS (CTC/UDiv), GradCertEdu [Specialist Inclusive] (Deakin), CertIIIBAdmin (S.Russo), AOBR, MOA, RN, ACMA Member. Catholic moral theologian and bioethicist.

“Francis Etheredge has written a very important and timely book on a crucial subject for our times. The cultural pressures and stress that are on our young people these days are unprecedented. Youth mental health is the elephant in many rooms in the Western world. The message of this book should land in the hearts of young people in Western societies and truly be helpful!” – Dr. Joe Malone, author of Battles of the Sexes

“Francis Etheredge’s latest book is powerful, full of fresh creative images, and a penetrating analysis of the contemporary scene for youth. Because of his own personal tragic history redeemed by his conversion, his insights shuttle us back and forth between surprise and inspiration. Highly recommended.” – Dr. Ronda Chervin, Catholic writer, professor, and media presenter, online at https://www.rondachervin.com

“Delighted to share my enthusiastic endorsement for The Word in Your Heart, a powerful resource created by Francis Etheredge, and am impressed by the valuable insights, thought-provoking, and transformative teachings that Francis brings to the table. What sets “The Word in Your Heart” apart is Francis’ ability to connect the wisdom of ancient texts with the challenges and realities of our modern world. Francis Etheredge’s expertise and unique perspectives are equipping readers with the knowledge that individuals seeking spiritual growth and philosophical insights need.” – Sidoney S.

“I have had a chance to read your book The Word in Your Heart: Mary, Youth and Mental Health. It was wonderful. A great mix of sincere, and prayerful intentions. The book reveals an inspiring journey of faith, courage, and hope amidst adverse circumstances. You as the author have intertwined your own journey of despair and healing, developing a special faithful coping mechanism which I believe will lend itself to others in the same circumstances including young people.” – Carol-Ann Lane, Ph.D., OCT, MEd, HBEd, HBA, Christian author devoted to sharing stories of inspiration and hope. Author, Writing Coach, Educator, online at https://writeinhislight.substack.com/

Imagine the Joy! Reveries on Divine Revelation

Imagine the Joy! Reveries on Divine Revelation

Imagine the Joy! Reveries on Divine Revelation

by Freddie Stewart, Jr.

Compelled by his rich evangelical experience of searching the Scriptures alongside Christian brethren seeking spiritual inspiration and practical wisdom, Freddie has sought to share his enthusiasm for fellowship centered on mutual exploration of divine revelation with Catholic brethren. For over a decade, Freddie has shared reflections on Scripture studied through the lens of Church teachings. Virtually all of these reflections exist as emails that Freddie shared with scores of fellow parishioners, family members and friends. Imagine the Joy! represents a sample of these emails, revised as essays with more complete references. Freddie’s purpose in publishing these essays in book form is to encourage his fellow lay Catholics to be intentional participants in the Church’s great venture of seeking ever deeper insight into the deposit of the Faith consisting of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition as indivisible expressions of the Word of God.

TESTIMONIALS

“This collection of essays by Freddie Stewart represents the fruit of a faithful Catholic layman’s meditation on key passages of divine revelation in Scripture through the lens of core doctrines of the faith, as defined by the Church’s magisterium through the centuries. The result is a series of thought-provoking and inspiring reflections on how central mysteries of the faith touch our daily lives—and how these mysteries can help guide us through the complex challenges that our contemporary culture poses to living our faith authentically. I trust that you will find Imagine the Joy as engaging as I have!” – Fr. John Langlois, O.P., Prior, St. Gertrude Dominican Priory, Cincinnati
“Imagine the Joy! invites us into a deep and engaging conversation of the eternal truths of our faith. With clarity and precision, Freddie Stewart encourages us to immerse ourselves in a childlike sense of wonder as a way to open our intellect and hearts to a greater maturity of understanding, wisdom, and ultimately joy.” – Kiki Latimer, author of Home for the Homily: The Sacred Art of Homiletics and Seeing God’s Face: A Catholic American Woman in India

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Unbaptized and unchurched as a child and atheistic as a young adult, Freddie was baptized into Christ at age 33 in a “non-denom” evangelical Protestant community. There, Freddie learned the spiritual value of fervent Christian fellowship in diligently seeking to understand and apply the divine wisdom of God’s written Word in the Sacred Scriptures. However, Freddie’s growing awareness of the serious limitations of studying Scripture absent objective doctrinal interpretation compelled him to investigate the question of authority. Through a providential encounter with a professional colleague who was an exceptionally well-informed Catholic, Freddie began an intensive process of dialogue and study.  This process culminated in his conviction of the Catholic Church’s exclusively divine institution as the household of God, whose chief steward is the Bishop of Rome in unbroken succession from Peter. Freddie was received into the Church in 1998, six years following his baptism, and his marriage to Colleen, his legal wife of thirteen years at that time, was elevated to a sacrament. Freddie earned a graduate degree in theology from Christendom College in 2005. After thirty-five years in the DC suburbs of northern Virginia, Freddie and Colleen retired to south central Pennsylvania in 2021, where they are active in their new parish and maintain close relationships with friends and family, including their grandchildren and godchildren.

The Nostalgia for a New Christendom by Mario Ramos-Reyes

The Nostalgia for a New Christendom by Mario Ramos-Reyes

The Nostalgia for a New Christendom

by Mario Ramos-Reyes

Mario Ramos-Reyes shares the political schizophrenia of mid-20th century Latin America and the healing process that sought to fill the void between Enlightenment liberalism and the Catholic tradition. The cure was the work of maritainismo, a proposal inspired by Jacques Maritain (1882-1973), the most admired and criticized Catholic thinker in the first half of the 20th century. Beginning with the Social Christian movement conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1947, the era of the new Latin American Christendom became a model that aspired to be democratic, liberal, and Christian. This project lasted until 1968, when Catholic thought abruptly turned toward liberation theology. Today, remembering the maritainista proposal in the face of the liberal secularist and populist postmodern avalanche is not a futile exercise of nostalgia but an urgent necessity.

TESTIMONIALS

“While everybody will not agree with the politics of this book, Latin Americanists should find the argument universally fascinating and enlightening because of its implications for the embeddedness of philosophy and religion (and philosophers and priests) in Latin American politics.” – Elizabeth Kuznesof, Professor and Director of the Center for Latin American Studies, University of Kansas
“Amid historical vicissitudes, Mario Ramos Reyes has sought the essentials of Maritain’s spirit: a Constitutional Democracy and the rule of law based on a Christian ethos. These still provide answers to this unmade world between postmodernism and woke ideologies and to this Latin America that, bleeding between socialist Christian utopias and its military-conservative reactions, has not yet found its path to institutional stability.” – Gabriel J. Zanotti, Professor, of UCEMA, and academic director of the Friedman-Hayek Center, and the Acton Institute, Buenos Aires, Argentina 

“Ramos-Reyes is a tragic optimist. The eclipse of Christian Democracy is indisputable. Even its resurgence can seem little more than a nostalgic dream. And yet, to draw from Scripture, he asks whether these ‘dead bones can rise again.’ He tells us that if they do, it will be at the summons of a new generation of Latin American thinkers and activists.” – James Hanink, Past President, American Maritain Association

“In The Nostalgia for a New Christendom, Mario Ramos-Reyes has written a thoughtful analysis of the thought of Jacques Maritain and its influence on Latin America. He both analyzes skillfully the insights and the failures of the Christian Democratic movement that Maritain inspired and offers an impressive defense of the relevance of Maritain’s philosophy of human dignity for the twenty-first century.” – Carl Strikwerda, former president Elizabethtown College and former dean College of William and Mary

“I recall reading William Cavanaugh’s book, Torture and Eucharist, and his call for a more radical, supernatural, Eucharistic approach to politics and his criticism of Maritain as a proponent of the Christian Democratic vision that Cavanaugh thought had marginalized and neutered the Church. Then, liberation theology took up so much of the debate. Against that was a traditional conservatism that called for a Catholic country that did not make much room for liberalism in the best sense. Then, of course, the strong secularization brings with it the legalization of abortion and the rejection of the family. Yes, where have you gone, Jacques Maritain? Well, at least there is an answer to this: the writing of Mario Ramos Reyes.” – Daniel Philpott, University of Notre Dame
