Today, Anthony Ryan, head of marketing at Ignatius Press, sits down with Andrew Petiprin to discuss Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette Soubirous. This conversation is guided by his great love for Mary and St. Bernadette because it is through the Ignatius Press offerings that he came to know more about them.
This conversation not only highlights the many offerings Ignatius Press has about the apparitions at Lourdes, but Andrew and Anthony also discuss the history of Lourdes and how it impacted the actress Sydney Penny, the singer Jennifer Warnes, and the saint Maximilian Kolbe. We hope that you listen to this podcast and purchase one of our many offerings so you too can learn more about these miraculous events and the often-overlooked saint—St. Bernadette.

This is the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and thorough defense of the Catholic Church against Protestant objections in print. This book is especially relevant as the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation draws near and discussion of the arguments made against the Church during that time in history receive renewed interest.
The Case for Catholicism answers arguments put forward by early Reformers like Luther and Calvin as well as contemporary defenders of Protestantism like Norm Geisler and R.C. Sproul. It provides a meticulous defense of the biblical and historical nature of Catholic doctrines from Scripture and church history. Finally, in both answering Protestant objections to Catholicism and in providing evidence for the Faith, The Case for Catholicism cites modern Protestant scholars who question Reformation assumptions and show how evidence from Scripture and church history support aspects of Catholic theology.
This book is divided into four sections, with each answering a key question Christians have asked about the nature of their faith. Those key questions are:
<ul><li>What is my authority?</li>
<li>What is the Church?</li>
<li>How am I saved?</li>
<li>Who belongs to the body of Christ?</li>
</ul>
The Case for Catholicism will become a reliable, resource for any Catholic who desires a well-researched, readable, and persuasive answer to Protestant arguments made against the Catholic faith.

Author Interview with Trent Horn on his book, ”The Case for Catholicism”

This week, the Church will experience a papal conclave where cardinals all over the world will deliberate and elect the next pope. As we eagerly wait for their choice, Francis Maier joins Mark Brumley to discuss what kind of pope the Church needs today. He articulately argues that he must be both a man of simplicity and of strong intellect who embodies the strengths of the last several pontiffs. In short, the next pope must model himself after the first pope—Peter.
Maier discusses several challenges that the Church and the next pope faces today, but ultimately, he offers a message of hope and encouragement in these often-troubled times. He highlights the risk of focusing too much on the politics of the Church and stresses the importance of continued personal conversion, especially through the reception of Reconciliation and frequent hours of Eucharistic adoration.
As we begin this momentous week, Maier provides much needed clarity, wisdom, and encouragement.

Christians, as well as all men and women, are called to holiness and happiness, but everyone struggles to take the practical steps necessary to overcome the vices that rob us of our peace and steal our joy. The WillPower Advantage shows that we need to renew our minds with the truth about ourselves in order to develop the good habits we need to handle the challenges we face. We are not called to be passive; we are called to use our will and our strength to receive God's grace and transform the world, beginning with ourselves.
 


The WillPower Advantage helps people to build the virtues they need by providing practical wisdom from ancient and contemporary sources. The book includes a Spiritual Audit, which identifies a person's temperament along with its strengths and weaknesses. The virtues each temperament needs to work on are then presented systematically with practical tips for strengthening them.

Interview with authors Tom Peterson and Ryan Hanning on their book, "The WillPower Advantage"

Jen Nilsson has an MBA, a nice condo, and a fast-track job at a tech start-up in Silicon Valley. If her big product launch goes well next month, she may finally land the marketing director job she's been gunning for. But then her younger sister, Katie, just out of college and estranged from their newly devout parents, blows through the front door, dumping cardboard boxes and a lifetime of personal drama onto Jen's just-swept floor.
Family is family, and Jen lets her sister, the embodiment of all that annoys her, move in. Maybe she'll turn aimless Katie into a model adult. But when Jen's own well-laid career plans hurtle off the tracks—a corporate buyout, a layoff, and a disastrous business trip to China—she turns more and more to Katie for support and begins to reassess the place of family, and love, in her life.
If You Can Get It explores the quirks and the humanity of the twenty-first-century business world but finds its heart in the deepening relationship of two sisters as different as Elinor and Marianne of Sense and Sensibility.
