What a delight to talk with Mark Joseph about "Overwhelming Pursuit: Stop Chasing Your Life and Live."  He presents in this very compelling book a practical approach to transforming your life.  I simply could not have put any better than Dr. Scott Hahn who said in his ringing endorsement of Mark's work: "In these pages you'll learn, step by step, how to do the hard stuff: forgive from the heart, apologize, open yourself to the healing power of God's mercy. If these graces have seemed remote, theoretical, or elusive to you, seek here and find everything you need: a prescription for spiritual health and lifelong conversion."  Excellent!  Get a copy for yourself and someone in your life who really needs this solid yet caring message.  Mark's website is: https://markjosephministries.com The post IP#337 Mark Joseph – Overwhelming Pursuit on Inside the Pages with Kris McGregor podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Devin Schadt offers a tremendous work proclaiming St. Joseph as a model for the authentic expression of manhood and fatherhood. In " Joseph's Way: The Call to Fatherly Greatness: Part I: Prayer of Faith", he shares his compelling personal witness to the great saint's role in his life. He also uses Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and many other outstanding resources, to fashion a study that helps to deepen the faith of those who walk with good St. Joseph through the perils men, as well as their families, face in our world today.

In this episode we have a conversation with Katherine Becker, author of "The Dating Fast: 40 Days to Reclaim Your Heart, Body, and Soul". Katherine is wonderfully articulate in describing her experience with "fasting" from the dating scene and how others can benefit from the practice. The books description really does describe it best: The endless cycle of boyfriends and breakups got to be exhausting--emotionally and spiritually. When a friend introduced Katherine to the idea of the "dating fast," she rediscovered her joy for life. You don't have to "kiss dating good-bye," but a forty-day, Scripture-based retreat from the fray works wonders. Romantic love isn't dead, says Katherine, but you have to know where to look for it.

Mary Eberstadt is one of the brightest lights we have voicing the intelligent response to the arguments brought forward by women who advocate the "contraceptive" mentality, especially those which come from women who claim the Catholic mantle. Her book, "Adam and Eve after the Pill: Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution" is outstanding! In her incredibly fluent writing style, Mary chronicles the damage done to women, men and children as a result of the "sexual revolution" and the paradoxes of our promiscuous behavior. She is wonderful to listen to as she calmly fillets, like an intellectual ninja, the viewpoint of the sexual secular left. In our conversation, she also discusses the challenges to religious liberty that we face in this country. A "don't miss" book and discussion.
