  • So sweet!

    My kids and I love listening to these episodes! It’s so cool to hear the authors read their stories and answer questions about their stories, their writing, and in the Advent and Christmas series - their Christmas “favorites.” We listen to the stories during lunch (so not cuddled up somewhere cozy), but we all feel cozy listening to Gracie’s soothing voice and really get into the stories! We have two of the books, and LOVED being introduced to the others! We can’t wait to see them in person some... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Holy Spirit and the Greatest Adventure by Gracie Jagla with Ted Schlenderfritz
Q: How many saints did you choose in the beginning, and how many did you have to leave out because of page limits?
They discussed narrowing the roster to 32 pages, selecting a diverse set of saints from around the world and recognizing the challenge of fitting long names into rhymes while maintaining theological accuracy.
The Holy Spirit and the Greatest Adventure by Gracie Jagla with Ted Schlenderfritz
Q: Can you describe how you made the Holy Spirit and why did you choose to do him that way?
Ted explains that they settled on a stylized dove with elements of fire and wind to symbolize the Spirit, balancing traditional symbols with a non-realistic portrayal to keep the focus on divine presence rather than a literal depiction.
Jack Giorgio: Future Priest with Katie Warner
Q: What inspired you to write a book that frames priests as superheroes within a family and Mass context?
Katie explains that the idea came from conversations with her children about priests being heroes in real life, and she wanted to celebrate the priesthood by linking it to everyday family life, sacraments, and the example set by saints.
Joseph, Keeper of the King with Emily Stimpson Chapman
Q: What is the series or collaboration you mentioned with Scott Hahn, and how did it come together for the children's Bible project?
Scott Hahn asked Emily to adapt some of his bestselling adult books for children due to demand from grandparents and parents, and she agreed to undertake the project, drawing on her experience with Scott and the St. Paul Center to create poetry for kids.
Joseph, Keeper of the King with Emily Stimpson Chapman
Q: Can you tell people if they want to know more about you? Where is the best place for them to go?
Emily directs listeners to her website emilystimpsonchapman.com, where they can sign up for her newsletter and find her children's books, including the Story Bible, with signed copies available.
