By Karl Erickson
I've been reading more and more books lately outside my "comfort zone," but I began reading this book by Cheryl Strayed thinking it would be a work I could really enjoy. My interest was really piqued by the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) reference.

VISIONS
VISIONS
By Victor S E Moubarak
Imagine your child, whom you love and trust not to tell lies, because you brought him up that way; one day tells you that he has seen a vision of Jesus in the park. Do you ignore him and put it down to children’s imagination? Do you tell him not to tell lies? Do you instruct him not to repeat such stories to anyone else? Or do you believe him?

A Special Mother is Born
By Flávia Ghelardi
I´ve interviewed Leticia Velasquez, author of "A Special Mother is Born", a book full of wonderful stories about parents who bravely kept their child, despite the diagnosis of genetic mutation or other health problems.

Taylor Marshall Resurrects Saint George and the Dragon
By Mishka Góra
Like many other Catholic mothers, the stories of the saints I tell my young children often seem more like fairy tales than biographies. Saint George is a case in point. We love the prayer to “glorious St George” asking him to “defend the happiness” of our homes from those who “conspire to destroy” them, but what my children remember is that he killed a dragon and saved a princess.

5 Thoughts on Failure and Grace from The Lord of the Rings
By John Carswell
We are accustomed to our heroes succeeding. Luke hits the bullseye and blows up the Death Star in Star Wars. Harry (finally) defeats Voldemort. For those of you who have read or seen The Lord of the Rings (you probably want to stop here if you haven’t), you’ll know what a surprise it is to find that Frodo ultimately fails to deliver Sauron’s Ring to final destruction.

The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
By Robert Italia
The faithful may bristle at the thought of using science to illustrate and defend religious tenets, but as the following column argues, science and religion are not the foes many perceive. If anything, secularism has co-opted science in an (unwitting?) attempt to disconnect man from God. So here’s CRISTOFORI’S DREAM, my novel’s theory of everything.
