What a sheer delight to talk with Pat Gohn about "Blessed, Beautiful, and Bodacious: Celebrating the Gift of Catholic Womanhood"! This book is a tour de force of insight on the unique gift of the authentic feminine nature. Pat has an engaging writing ability which richly and warmly blends the teachings of the Church and the Saints with her personal experience and witness. She is informative, sensitive, affirming and challenging; in her you will find the best qualities of the maternal nurturing nature. Pat Gohn can be considered a trusted spiritual mentor for the seeking hearts of women. After reading this book, if a woman is ever asked "Do you believe you are a beloved daughter of God?" she will more than likely be compelled to answer beautifully and bodaciously, "YES"!

This is the book I've been waiting for, thank you Emily Stimpson! A book about the Theology of the Body, the great teachings from Bl. Pope John Paul II, that isn't all about SEX! What Emily has done is truly remarkable....she has presented to us just how practical this great teaching is and how it can be applied to the varied aspects of our everyday lives. Emily has an engaging writing style which is filled with humor and insight. A wonderful work and a must have for the Catholic library.

Christopher West continues to offer to us work that is compelling, as well as challenging, in regards to our deepest desires...the yearning in our hearts that can only find rest in God. Through the Scriptures, the writings of the Saints, and the teachings of the Church, Christopher West helps us to understand that so much of what we seek and how we seek it, especially expressed through our bodies, cannot be authentically found in what our culture offers. The only place where true peace, joy, and fulfillment can be found is in the abundant love and grace which resides in the Heart of God who longs for us...it is up to us to respond.

Christopher West is a pioneer in the area known as "The Theology of the Body", a teaching found in the Wednesday audiences of Bl. John Paul II over the course of many years. In "The Heart of the Gospel: Reclaiming the body of the New Evangelization", Christopher shares his insights and deeper understandings found in over 20 years of experience with this work and it's relevance for our faith lives today. In the course of the book, he also answers those objections to his approach in the past. He dives deeply into the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI, the teachings of the Saints, and above all, Sacred Scripture to find a richer expression of this important work and its message for our world today. Below is the complete interview I had with Christopher which lasted close to an hour. His humble, candid, honest approach to our discussion reveals his care and concern for the subject and great love for the work given to us by our late great Holy Father, Bl. John Paul II.
