On episode #157, I spoke with the Steven Nelson about his recently book, The Magdalena Prayer Book.

During our conversation, we covered:

- What inspired Steven to focus on St. Mary Magdalene as the model for conversion in his book
- The distinction between perfect and imperfect contrition
- The importance of God's mercy
- How to overcome sin
- And much more...

Biography:

Steven Nelson is the president and co-founder of Gaudent Angeli, a Catholic apostolate and nonprofit organization dedicated to rekindling devotion to St. Vibiana, the hidden patroness of Los Angeles. Though its mission is local, Gaudent Angeli's operations go beyond the confines of the LA Archdiocese, aiming to foster a devout culture wherever the cultural influence of Los Angeles inevitably reaches. Gaudent Angeli recognizes that the renewal of culture hinges upon something of even greater importance and influence: the rekindling of pious devotion. Under the patronage of St. Vibiana, Gaudent Angeli identifies and addresses the spiritual needs of our age and invokes St. Vibiana's intercession in order to shower abundant graces upon Los Angeles, California, the Americas, and the world.

Steven Nelson is a convert to Catholicism and lives in Southern California with his wife and 6 children.
