Good news! My book, Faith with Good Reason, recently received an imprimatur (or permission to publish) from our local bishop. A book imprimatur in
the Catholic Church is not an endorsement, but an acceptance or guarantee that something is
of a good standard, free of any moral or doctrinal error. I'll be working with
the publisher to have the proper verbiage printed in the book.
Comment from the reviewing theologian…
"Excellent work! I really enjoyed
the book. You have a gift for explaining ancient teaching with modern lingo and
examples that lose none of the depth of the teaching."
I'll now have more confidence proposing the book and concept to Catholic organizations, book
sellers, schools, etc. The concept itself is age-old in terms of Faith &
Reason, but I added what I feel is a unique twist that relates our Catholic
faith to elements of analytical problem solving and decision making.
Problem solving seeks to answer the
question “Why did it happen?” Decision making seeks to answer “What should we
do?” This relates strongly to how we think (the intellect) and what we do (the will).
Why do people firmly believe things they can’t prove? For example, does the Earth really revolve
around the Sun? Have you seen it?
Have you measured it? Or do you firmly believe it because it’s what other people told you?
Since what we think ultimately directs
what we do, it's imperative that we study what we think and why we think it. Faith
with Good Reason attempts to do just that and to do it for what is mentioned in
the Catholic Creed, which is no less than…“all things visible and invisible”.
Please enjoy Faith with Good Reason
