| Host: | Doug Keck w/ Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle | |
| Date Produced: | 10/12/2008 | |
| Description: | “The thread running through both of your books on preparing for motherhood,” Doug says to author Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, “is John Paul II’s observation that women are more capable than men of paying attention to another person, and that motherhood develops this predisposition even more.” 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.

| Description: | “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 our various vocations will be incomparably happier precisely to the degree that we concretize and apply the Gospel in our lives.”

| Host: | Doug Keck w/ Dr. Ray Guarendi | |
| Date Produced: | 11/2/2008 | |
| Description: | Dr. Ray Guarendi’s books are collections of the most common questions he receives, in his counseling work, from parents. Hence, Doug reflects, they are practical, to-the-point, and instantly applicable to the parenting issues we all face. Solid parenthood, grounded on the intangibles of love, good judgment, morals, and common sense, is making a comeback – have you noticed? Discipline That Lasts a Lifetime, and Good Discipline, Great Teens are the topic of this week’s Bookmark, and, as Doug summarizes, the bottom line, from this father of ten, is to “lighten up, laugh more, and love your children enough to do what’s best for them.”

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.

| Description: | 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 Genevieve Kineke and The Authentic Catholic Woman.

| Host: | Doug Keck w/ Dr. Scott Hahn | |
| Date Produced: | 11/30/2008 | |
| Description: | 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 notes that the puns and the plays on words abound, in true Scott Hahn fashion, but if you can read only one book on knowing and defending your faith, this should be it.

| Description: | Br. Leo Mary, as must be obvious to every parent who has watched an episode of Hey, Brother Leo! on EWTN’s Faith Factory for children, loves to take things apart and put them back together. And he’s combined this love of tinkering with “things that move” with a love of God and desire to share Catholic teachings with young children in a new book. Hey Brother Leo, presented this week with Fr. Joseph Wolfe, is full of experiments, projects, and winsome wisdom for children (and their parents) who love the world God made and want to make some of their own pretty fascinating creations, as well!

The Gospel Truth blends the lectionary approach with religious education, and when the readings we hear at Mass each Sunday are tied to the teachings of the Church, Doug observes, everybody learns more about the Faith.

"Only," she tells Bookmark host Doug Keck, " by the grace and love of Almighty God does anything happen to any of us." Grace is abundantly available for every human being, and in her new book, Newsflash, Teresa counsels us not to be afraid to hand the remote control over to God, so He can fine-tune the prime time program of our own life.

| Date Produced: | 1/18/2009 | |
| Description: | Doug Keck opens this week's Bookmark by observing that John Paul II's teachings on Theology of the Body are all-important to every Christian, young and old. Fr. Richard Hogan's new book, Theology of the Body: What it Means, Why it Matters, describes the way in which John Paul 'the Great' developed an explanation of the Gospel by joining the truths of revelation with the philosophical movement of phenomenology. One result of this marriage of phenomenology and the truths of the faith, Fr. Hogan explains in the interview, is John Paul II's Theology of the Body. The two agree that an understanding of Theology of the Body is crucial to answering the question, 'Who are we, and how do we live out our divinely ordained body/soul unity?'

| Description: | Fr. John Harvey is the founder and director of Courage, an apostolate of the Catholic Church ministering to those with same sex attractions. Fr. Harvey's new book, Homosexuality and the Catholic Church, answers the difficult questions of those who struggle with SSA, and the resources available for them, and their friends and family. As the book is set in a Q & A format, Doug and Fr. Harvey reflect on some of the most-raised issues: "Can individuals recover from SSA or must they live with it for the rest of their lives?", and "Why don't we hear about the gift of chastity very often from the pulpit?" Fr. Harvey, this text, and Courage, Doug concludes, offer real hope for those striving to move beyond the confines of the homosexual identity to a more complete life in Christ.

| Description: | “One cannot fully appreciate Bernadette Soubirous,” Doug observes in Lourdes: Font of Faith, Hope and Charity, “without understanding the times and conditions in which she lived.” Author Elizabeth Ficocelli became both journalist and pilgrim to put together this unique guide to Lourdes, and its central theme is Bernadette’s confessor’s observation that the best proof of the apparitions, was Bernadette herself. Fiocelli clothes St. Bernadette in real flesh, blood, and tears in characterizing the saint’s encounter with the Blessed Virgin, and in her loving determination to fulfill her heavenly mission.

When will you?” questions buried deep within, afraid of the answers God will give us. Bishop Baker wrote The Questioner’s Prayer to help guide the reader in finding his true relationship with God, and thus to understand God’s plan for his life.

Francis Cardinal George’s introductory comments are the only inspiration we need to open this book, author Fr. Anthony Bus and Bookmark host Doug Keck agree. This unusual 21st century account reads like a novel, but is a true story, in which the pain and power of the priesthood shine forth.

Baronius’ Divine Intimacy is beloved by Mother Angelica and her Poor Clare Nuns, Doug observes, for its readings on spiritual growth and mystical union with Our Lord.
