Wrapping up with Father James Martin, SJ

Father Martin has signed off for the rest of the afternoon but will check in again this evening to answer any more questions that have emerged (Augustine and Karen, I just saw yours come in). If we missed your question, please let us know by commenting below. Do check the blog later so you can read Father Martin’s final comments.

I also encourage you to read Father Martin’s newest book, A Jesuit Off-Broadway: Center Stage with Jesus, Judas, and Life’s Big Questions. It recently won First Place in the Catholic Press Association’s category “Popular Presentation of the Catholic Faith”.

What more popular presentation of the faith can there be than an engaging story as this by one of America’s best Catholic writers about his experience as an adviser to (and then being invited to be a member of) a Broadway company doing a play about Jesus and Judas? This is a charming, highly readable book about our faith in the modern world, very well presented, brightened by humor and warmed by the author’s connection with an keen understanding of the lives we Catholics lead in the world we inhabit. 

And remember … all who have commented today will be entered in a raffle for Father Martin’s book My Life with the Saints. I will contact the winner by email tomorrow.
