The Ways of Love offers itself as an uncomplicated, yet profound guide to hurdle over the barriers to love in your everyday life. With concrete suggestions, this offers a self-reflected examination of obstacles to patience, generosity, gratitude, beauty, cooperation, and simplicity of life, providing a meaningful approach to transform the will of the only person capable of changing others—you!

  • Episode 68: Donald Boland on The Thomist Tradition, Part 2 (September 24, 2020)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dr. Donald Boland concerning his book The Thomist Tradition: Avoiding Scylla and Charybdis. This is Part 2 of a 2-part Interview. (September 24, 2020)

    As with every great philosopher and theologian, the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, though perhaps the clearest expressed of all, has inevitably been subject to a variety of interpretations. There is one interpretation that leans to a naturalist/rationalist (secularist) interpretation of his thought. That one is well-recognized today. There is, however, another interpretation so strongly opposed to this extreme that it tends to fall into the other error of supernaturalism/ fideism. In this book, hopefully following not only the thought of St. Thomas but also his method, I have tried only to draw particular attention to this latter error.

  • Episode 67: Fr. Larry Tucker, SOLT, on The Prayer of Jesus Crucified (September 21, 2020)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Fr. Larry Tucker, SOLT, on his book The Prayer of Jesus Crucified (September 21, 2020)

    In a world where so many people are looking for a way out . . . an escape . . . and finding only pain and disillusionment, The Prayer of Jesus Crucified offers an authentic solution . . . a ‘way in,’ as it were; an entrance into what St. John of the Cross called “silent love” (contemplative prayer).

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “Contemplation is a gaze of faith, fixed on Jesus.” This book will guide the reader into the loving ‘gaze’ of Jesus where . . . “you will find rest for your souls” (Mt 11:29)

  • Episode 65: Francis Etheredge on Conception: An Icon of the Beginning (September 15, 2020)
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Francis Etheredge about his book Conception: An Icon of the Beginning. (September 15, 2020)

    A book to plunge into the debate on the beginning of life like a life-boat dropping into the stormy seas filled with a variety of arguments both simple and more complex, drawing on reason, evidence and expert human biologists, the wisdom of Scripture, the Fathers and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, with extensive contents for searching the many varied and diverse kinds of contributions and launched in the hope of helping the unborn, the frozen and all who are open to be touched by the wonder of life but lost in a bewildering maze of difficulties.

    Each one of us is a witness to a beginning. Learning to speak about that beginning is a personal work that we share with others. This book, then, takes up those initial questions, sources and terms that help us to make sense of human conception and express it “a-freshly”. Each of us comes to exist through others: a child has a father and a mother and is embedded in a family. Indeed, if to be conceived is to be “conceived-in-relationship” then we are an Icon of the Beginning. Just, however, as “the beginning of creation” expressed an act of the mystery of God, so does the conception of each one of us; and, therefore, exploring human conception is at the same time an exploration of how human conception “recapitulates” the mystery of man’s creation.

    The book is invaluably enriched by a variety of contributors: Dr Mary Anne Urlakis’ General Foreword, two poems by her daughter, Grace Marie Urlakis, and by helpful Forewords to each of the chapters from Dr. Joseph Tham, LC, Dr. Ronda Chervin, Dr. Michael Baggott, LC, Sr. Helena Burns and Kathleen Sweeney; there is an invaluably discerning review of the scientific knowledge of human conception provided by Professors Justo Aznar and Julio Tudela (in Chapter V: Part II); in addition, there are a variety of modern images from the Unesco Bioethics in Art Competitions; and, finally, there is a challenging End Word: A New Beginning, by Dr. Elizabeth Bothamley Rex.
