In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Fr. Jacob Dankasa on his book Faith, Not Convenience (March 20, 2022)

It’s difficult to remain a committed Christian in our today’s society where social, moral and political views are often in conflict with the standards of the teachings of Christ. The infiltration of personal ideologies into the faith has left many Catholics and Christians confused. Many cannot be certain where the application of their personal ideologies stops and the gospel begins. In this book, Father Dankasa accompanies you on the path towards a consistent life journey in faith to find God in your prayer life, in your relationships, in your desire to live a virtuous life, in your community, and in your virtual life – yes, to find God also online. He points out how holiness in the virtual environment is as important as holiness in everyday “real life.” The book provides reflections with inspiring real-life stories and scripture to help you consistently journey with Jesus in your everyday life without losing your faith despite doubts, fears and misunderstandings of faith and religion. It intends to accompany you in your spiritual journey to desire the gospel, not ideologies – faith, not convenience.

In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Fr. Dominic Ibok on his book Faith and Facebook (March 8, 2022)

In Southeast Missouri, where Catholics are a minority, the challenge of diminishing participation and reduced membership requires an intentional engagement of the inactive members and the unaffiliated within the community. Unfortunately, many members of the laity do not have the awareness or skills to evangelize. In a rural community, the challenges seem more significant due to limited personnel and resources.

This book aims to equip the laity with the skills and tools to evangelize inactive Catholics and the unaffiliated. It involves their growing in prayer, study, generosity, evangelization, and the discernment of their charisms. With the benefit of social media engagement like Facebook live stream, an opportunity to engage and evangelize is available for our rural parish community. The resources from experienced lay evangelists in evangelization and social media engagement will provide a template that can enhance the development of a program on evangelization for my rural parish community.

To test the effectiveness of these resources, seventeen participants engaged in a nine-week program to learn how prayer, study, generosity, evangelization, the discernment of their charisms, and teamwork can prepare them for evangelization. This thesis engaged the inactive Catholics and the unaffiliated in rural Southeast Missouri by using Facebook live stream as an evangelization tool. The focus of this project is thus reminding active Catholics of their responsibility to evangelize and how utilizing a familiar social media portal like Facebook can enhance the process even in a rural community.

In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Peter Breen on his book Prodigal Pilgrim: Letters to Pope Francis from Lourdes, Fatima, Garabandal and Medjugorje (February 18, 2022).

The Christian community has been studying the medical and scientific evidence for Marian apparitions since Mary the Mother of Jesus first appeared to the Apostle James at Saragossa in Spain in the year 40 CE. More recently, Mary has credibly appeared at Medjugorje in Bosnia Herzegovina for the past 40 years with the message God can save us. Is Mary the prophet of our times?

Pope Francis gave official approval to Medjugorje pilgrimages in 2019. During a pilgrimage to Lourdes, Fatima, Garabandal and Medjugorje, the Prodigal Pilgrim writes to Pope Francis, urging formal recognition of the Medjugorje apparitions. Mary offers humanity a lifeline, says the author, an alternative to David Attenborough’s observation that things can only get worse for planet Earth.

In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Stephen Schwarz and Kiki Latimer on their book Philosophy Begins in Wonder (February 18, 2022)

This book is the compilation of over fifty years of teaching Ethics, Metaphysics, Epistemology, Philosophy of the Person, and Virtue Ethics in the classroom setting. Philosophy Begins in Wonder offers the classroom dynamic on the written page. Here you will find philosophical questions raised, many possible answers provided, guidance in discerning how to evaluate the answers, and encouragement for even greater considerations beyond the scope of this book. Philosophy that begins in wonder is open to proceeding further in a lifetime journey of wonder, avoiding the unnecessary pitfalls of cynicism, pessimism, and despair. This spirit of wonder offers to one a life of amazement, joy, gratitude and, therein, often the unexpected moments of knowledge, understanding, insights, and occasionally wisdom.

In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Kimberly Bruce on her book The Gender Link to the Human Soul (February 7, 2022)

The Gender Link to the Human Soul establishes gender as an element of the soul retained in this life and for all eternity. This is demonstrated in the brilliant philosophical insights of Thomas Aquinas and John Paul II combined with illumination gleaned from Christ’s Resurrection and Mary’s Assumption.

In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Judith Cabaud on her book Eugenio Zolli (February 7, 2022)

Eugenio Zolli, Chief Rabbi of Trieste, then of Rome, during the Second World War, exegete and professor at the University of Padua, is a prophet for our time, charged with asking a single question: Why? This question was a grace from God that set him off on his course as a scholar and a mystic. A subject of controversy since his death in 1956, Zolli nevertheless remains a model of true ecumenism between Jews and Christians through his honesty and his search for the whole truth. In trying to explore the missing link between the Old and New Testament, he discovered the love of God for all humanity. In this way, his life experience led him to Jesus Christ, in itself a prophecy of the New World mentioned in the Holy Scripture.
