J. S. Bach – Rest in Peace (31 March 1685 – 28 July 1750)

J. S. Bach died on this date 260 years ago. I just couldn’t let the date pass without a small tribute to the great talent the Lord blessed him with. From the “Sanctus” in the Mass in B minor, to the Toccata and Fugue in D minor…oh you name it, who can possibly pick from his legacy a favorite? But I have to say, it always makes me sigh when I hear “May Sheep Safely Graze”, so for all you lambys out there a little reflection:

Also here is a conversation Bruce and I had with R. J. Stove on the importance of Western Classical Music

IP#10 Mark Brumley – Ignatius Press and The Catholic Truth Society on Inside the Pages

Have you ever heard of “The Catholic Truth Society”? Well thanks to Ignatius Press, you are about to. In this edition of “Inside the Pages”, I talk with Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press and whois one of the leading Catholic apologists in the country (he’s also a really nice guy as well). Ignatius Press is bringing the booklets, leaflets and tracks from the Society to America, and they’re fantastic. The authors found on these booklets are enough to crow about, but the titles are so good…wow…beyond excellent. You don’t want to miss them. Take a look HERE! In this episode we talk the new evangelization, saints, history, apologetics…you name it.

What a joy to speak with Michael O’Brien. He has that beautifully tender heart of an artist. When he writes it’s as though he is painting with words…it’s just lovely. This is a wonderful read for all you fiction lovers (and non-fiction readers as well)!

IP#1 Kimberly Hahn – “Beloved and Blessed” on Inside the Pages

What a blessing to have my first “Inside the Pages” show be with Kimberly Hahn! She is such an inspiration on so many levels. The enitre “Life Nurturing Love” series is awesome (book and DVD). When you read Kimberly Hahn you can’t help but feel you are receiving the best advice from a wise and cherished friend. With good humor and joy, Kimberly offers Christ-centered teaching from the heart of the Church in her unique maternal-nuturing way. Beloved and Blessed is one of the most important witnesses in recent times on how to truly live out God’s design for marriage.
