  • Episode 138: Christopher Zehnder on A Song for Else (January 13, 2022)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Christopher Zehnder on his book A Song for Else (January 13, 2022)

    Lorenz List didn't know what awaited him in the great city of Nürnberg. It was an impossibly large city for a boy from the rural hinterlands, where ancient custom, seething discontent, and (at times) a mystical fanaticism held sway. In Nürnberg, he hopes to fulfill a destiny for which he never had dared to dream. He could move from obscurity to fame, perhaps, and from poverty to wealth. In Nürnberg he begins to move among an urbane and cultivated class of people far superior (he thinks) to the peasant folk from which he came. And he finds unexpected love - a love that could prove the ruin of all his hopes.

    Set in early 16th century Germany, this is a tale of a young man in a time of impending revolution, felt but as yet unseen. This volume is the first part of a trilogy set against the backdrop of the dramatic events of the Protestant Reformation in Germany.

  • Episode 137: Ivan Arthur on Saynt Lachmi (January 10, 2022)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Ivan Arthur on his book Saynt Lachmi (January 10, 2022)

    A young street child named Lachmi is whisked into prostitution, rescued, and led by her spirit and providence through the use of her extraordinary gifts to the brink of sainthood. The body, she shows us, is a prism, revealing through its gradations the range between depravity and divinity. What the reader sees through Lachmi is a view of this prism through the side that reveals our divinity, that sees the body as a channel of grace in the manner in which St. John Paul II described in his Theology of the Body, a manner that sanctifies our sexuality, which we so often allow our lust to soil and obliterate.

  • Episode 136: James L. Papandrea on The Squire's Journey (January 3, 2022)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dr. James L. Papandrea on his book The Squire's Journey (January 3, 2022)

    This is the story of a journey, and every journey has a beginning. Every journey has a starting point, when a person’s life takes a turn and he starts on the path that will be his life for the rest of his time on this earth. Everyone’s life is a journey, but this particular journey – this particular story – is the life of a boy named Radbertus Corbie, who became an orphan, became a squire, became a knight, and became a child of God.

  • Episode 135: Fr. Dominic Lenk, O.S.B., on Voices from the Upper Room (January 1, 2022)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Fr. Dominic Lenk, O.S.B., on his book Voices from the Upper Room (January 1, 2022)

    Just who were those people gathered together in the Upper Room during those three days between the crucifixion and the resurrection? Imagine with the author all those people gathered in the Upper Room during those dark hours. United in a shared grief and striving to make sense of what they have experienced, these same people are united in prayer and in the breaking of the bread in imitation of the Lord Jesus. Yet at the same time they watch and wait and pray. In prayer, let us keep vigil with them through the pages of this book.

  • Episode 134: Tom Sheahen on Everywhen: God, Symmetry, and Time (December 4, 2021)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dr. Tom Sheahen on his book Everywhen: God, Symmetry, and Time (December 4, 2021)

    Have you been told that science and religion are incompatible? Do you think you have to give one up to be consistent?

    You don’t. In this book, MIT-trained physicist Thomas Sheahen explains how you can:

    trust in God more readily, by realizing that God is not limited by space and time
    expand your human thinking and step up to a higher plane of understanding
    realize that religion and science are complementary paths to knowledge–not opposed
    understand that God thought up the laws of nature and uses them in creation.

  • Episode 133: Robin Arthur on Science and the God Elusion (December 3, 2021)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Robin Arthur on his book Science and the God Elusion: A Reflection on the Conundrums of Life (Revised Edition).

    This intelligent and wise book demonstrates that the so-called conflict between science and religion is fundamentally misconceived. Seen in their proper complementarity, they jointly illumine life’s mystery and many conundrums.
