Mary and the Christian Life<\/a><\/em> is out – I held a copy in my hand for the first time yesterday in Nashville (and yes, I’m back. More on the trip later).
\nI’m not sure when it will be actually in your local bookstore or available online. Close to the end of the month, I’d say.
\nAquinas and More has it listed. <\/a>
\nIt won’t be shipped until the end of the month to Amazon, but you can pre-order now.<\/a>
\nYou can order it from Catholic bookstores, of course-\u00a0 or even your local brick and mortar secular store. Couldn’t hurt.
\nBy the way, this book is from a new publisher for me – Word Among Us <\/a>– which many of you know for its daily Scripture devotionals. They’ve branched out into book publishing and have a strong list. Particularly good are Bert Ghezzi’s The Heart of a Saint: Ten Ways to Grow Closer to God <\/a>– <\/em>which is really fine, suitable for individuals or even parish group study. Mike Aquilina’s The Resiliant Church: The Glory, the Shame and the Hope for Tomorrow<\/a> <\/em>is also excellent. Bert and the rest of the editorial team at WAU were a pleasure to work with. I’m pleased with the book.
\nYou can see the table of contents and read an excerpt here. <\/a>
\nIn the next few days I will be re-opening the bookstore. I’ve had it shut down for a while because my PayPal account was messed with last year and my initial attempts to straighten out were unsuccessful, and I didn’t feel like spending lots of time on the phone sorting it out. But I’m going to have books from Nashville left over, it’s the season for First Communion, RCIA, Mother’s Day and graduation – so I resigned myself to that time on the phone and will try to get things righted early this week – so perhaps you all might help me clean out the stock. Mary and the Christian Life <\/em>will be available. I’ll sign, personalize, etc.\u00a0 So look for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Catholicism comes from her side. Amy grew up in a number of places - Indiana - Washington, DC - Lubbock Texas - Arlington, Virginia - DeKalb, Illinois - Lawrence, Kansas - and Knoxville, Tennessee, where the family settled in 1973. She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel. Amy has five children, ranging in age from 26 to 4 and was married to Michael Dubruiel, who died unexpectedly in February 2009. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/author\/awelborn"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
