Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Dr. Scott Hahn: Reasons to Believe is Scott Hahn's most popular book, and it's not hard to see why: within a mere 200 pages, we learn why salvation subsists in the Catholic Church, how to understand that as a convert (or a cradle Catholic), explain it to whomever God brings into your life, and defend it when called upon to do so. No one instructs, educates, and delights as does this celebrated convert and professor of theology at Franciscan University. Doug...

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Genevieve Kineke: While 'woman is at the very heart of civilization,' Doug quotes from Genevieve Kineke's book on authentic femininity, 'and should not be afraid to be women,' neither should women 'create for themselves unrealistic images of piety that no moral can imitate. Authentic femininity does not equal a blissful marriage, abundant pious and well-mannered children, or a husband to rival St. Joseph!' What a relief, and what an interesting half-hour, with...

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Fr. Timothy Gallagher: 'Discouragement, fear, loss of hope, and difficulty in discerning one's way in the spiritual life are problems St. Ignatius of Loyola dealt with on a personal level, before ever addressing in his Spiritual Exercises,' Fr. Timothy Gallagher comments. Fr. Gallagher's popularity and effectiveness as a leader of retreats on the resources St. Ignatius gives us, is evident in this not-to-be-missed interview with Doug Keck, which outlines Fr....

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Kimberly Hahn: 'Marriage built on a foundation of faith is the core relationship of the family,' author, wife and mother Kimberly Hahn tells Doug, 'but love must be ever deepening to endure, and ordering our priorities to give sufficient time and energy to our spouse is what the vocation of marriage is all about.' If this mother of six and wife of Scott Hahn can do it, there's hope for the rest of us. A lively discussion of Chosen and Cherished, and Graced and...

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Fr. Thomas Dubay: 'They are profoundly in love and with no reservations, both with God and then with their families and neighbors in Him,' Fr. Thomas Dubay says in Saints: a Closer Look. 'Their heroic choices and actions flow from an inner fire, whose only source can be the Holy Spirit, and they place no impediments to its ignition.' Lest we sinners think we're off the hook, however, Fr. Dubay concludes his interview with Doug by reminding us that 'You and I in...

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle: Both 'Prayerfully Expecting' and 'The Heart of Motherhood' stress the important role women play as a source of love, guidance, solace, and comfort for all around her. Cooper O'Boyle indeed seeks to restore pride to the title of 'mother' in our world, and her commitment to promoting the dignity of women is captured on this week's Bookmark.

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Dr. Scott Hahn: Covenant love is the central theme of your books, host Doug Keck observes to author and Franciscan University professor Scott Hahn, and A Father Who Keeps His Promises is no exception. Gods yearning for his children to come home to Him is traced from Adam and Eve, through Christs death on the cross, to the birth of the Church. Salvation history is, in essence, a relationship of God the Fathers loving relationship to his family, the human race. A...

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Fr. Benedict Groeschel: Fr. Benedict Groeschels years in the fields of psychology and counseling yielded one question again and again - How will I go on, how will I arise from darkness. He wrote Arise from Darkness to address the problem of pain, and the place to look for solutions. One of his most popular books, and one of our most popular Bookmark episodes, Doug Kecks interview with Fr. Groeschel is about confronting suffering and absolute bewilderment in the...

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Fr. Robert Levis: Q and A a la Fr. Robert Levis is a great way to learn, review, or teach the Catechism of the Catholic Church to others, Bookmark host Doug Keck observes. Jesus, the Catechism and Me was originally broadcast 10 years ago, in Bookmarks first year on the air, but its author, Fr. Levis, and its subject matter - how pre-teens to RCIA candidates can come to know and appreciate the teachings of the Catholic Church - are evergreen.

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Dale OLeary: Dale OLeary joins Doug for a discussion of two of her books concerned with the challenges of being a woman in the 21st century. You write cogently and convincingly, Doug tells Dale, about how to face and minister to the woundedness we find all around us, in issues with same-sex unions, militant feminism, and well-meaning but misguided methods of the education and socialization of our young.

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Dale OLeary: Completed several years ago, the book has a fascinating account of each of the 33 Doctors of the Church, and one of its particularly endearing features, presenter Fr. Charles Connor mentions, is the inclusion of some of the writings of each of the men and women so honored by the Church. A wonderful overview, in the process, Doug observes, of the history of Catholicism.

Hosted by Doug Keck with guest Fr. John Corapi: Fr. John Corapi, the inspiration for thousands turning back to God, begins this Bookmark interview by reflecting upon his own re-conversion as a fallen-away Catholic, and subsequent call to a ministry of preaching and evangelization. The goal of Santa Cruz Media, of his Weekly Wisdom webcast, and of his far-flung preaching missions, he tells Doug, is to reach as many people as possible with the message of the Gospel.

This, Shaw and his co-author Fr. C. John McCloskey have done, and continue to do, and now share in Good News, Bad News - Evangelization, Conversion, and the Crisis of Faith.
