A Seeking Heart with guest, Barbara Lee

Allison speaks with author, Barbara Lee, about her new book, Answering God's Call: a Scripture-Based Journey for Older Adults (Loyola Press).
  • Barbara and I share experience in the law field, though her career was far more illustrious than mine! Still, the lessons we learned there helped us do what God called us to after those careers.
  • The Wisdom of Age and the Enthusiasm of Youth: The Blessing of Cross-Generational Bible Studies (I think that needs to be my next book title!).
  • I shared Bishop da Cunha's newest Pastoral Letter and his poignant question, "What faith legacy do you want to leave?"
  • Barbara's book includes Scripture verses pointing us to amazing role models for the older, more seasoned, adult. 
  • Mariam packed a Tambourine for her journey through the Red Sea - God used her lifelong interest and talents to Glorify Him. He will do the same for with you - so dust off those lyres and harps!
  • Some of my favorites featured stories — Anna at the Presentation (just when she thought her work was through, like Juan Diego, God had a mission for her), St. Joseph's stillness (which is far deeper than just silence), and Peter's Mother-in-Law (healed and immediately wants to serve)!

A Seeking Heart with Christy Wilkens

  Allison talks with Christy about the amazing, powerful, and inspiring story behind her new book:  Awakening at Lourdes: How an Unanswered Prayer Healed Our Family and Restored Our Faith ( Ave Maria Press ) .  Christy takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions, as you travel with her to Lourdes, into the baths, through the streets of France, and back home. The struggle, navigating the highs and lows of parenting a sick child, all while wrestling with your faith. Our conversation opened my eyes and heart to what God can do when your prayers are answered according to His perfect plan instead of ours! **Recommended by Christy: Don't have a bookstore local? How about supporting bookshops by shopping with  www.bookshop.org Also shared during the podcast: Are you a Catholic parent of a child with special needs?

A Seeking Heart - Julianne Stanz

  In this episode, Allison is blessed by a return visit by author, Julianne Stanz to discuss her new book,   Braving the Thin Places: Celtic Wisdom to Create a Space for Grace  (Loyola Press).  Discussed: Just what is a 'thin place"? Why this incredible book took 20 years to write The fascinating Celtic traditions surrounding one's passing We dive deeper into G.R.A.C.E. — gratitude, rest, acceptance, cultivating hospitality, and embracing stillness. Discovering the difference between a soul friend and the hi-jacked term of soul-mate; do you have someone mirroring God's grace in your life? Braving the Thin Places is one of the most unique and fascinating books I've read in a long time, and given I read at least a book a week for the past 7 years, that is saying something!
