In this episode of En Route Books & Media, Dave Nemo interviews Annette Wilcox on her book Bumping the Dock: A Story of God's Grace and an 18-Wheeler. (November 6, 2022)I am an unlikely person to be a long-haul trucker. People comment that I look more like a librarian or an English teacher than a trucker. And I have been both. Trucking is physically a little too hard for me. Perhaps for this reason, my life as a trucker has been one of radical dependence on God. The truck runs, after all, by grace, and I'm on the road only as long as God wants me to be. I have truly experienced that God's mercies are new every morning and are inexhaustible. He always helps! That's what this story is about.https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/bumpingthedock/

Cloaked in promises of freedom and empowerment, a war has threatened the lives of millions of people of all ages, but especially the young. This is the body image war.Hollywood, the music industry, and large corporations promise happiness, pleasure, popularity, and power if we would just buy what they are selling. But their tactics are smoke and mirrors, and their promises are hollow. From photoshop to misleading advertising to the use of paid celebrities, a cocktail of lies tell us how we are supposed to look and feel about ourselves.And so many have bought in, leading to catastrophic results: eating disorders, body obsession, plastic surgery, steroids, peer pressure, and depression. How do we combat this onslaught?The answer is to turn to God and the teachings of his Church. In Improving Your Body Image through Catholic Teaching, Dr. John Acquaviva shows how we have allowed everyone but God to determine the value of our bodies, and how this must change.Relying on such works as Theology of the Body, Holy Scripture, the Catechism and others, as well as on his own history as a college professor of exercise science, Dr. Acquaviva explores the troublesome world of body image in the twenty-first century and leads 20 body image activities, including:A body image survey to see how you view your own body;An exploration of photoshop, and how it distorts our ideals;Discussion questions on the Bible, and how we are made in God’s image and likeness;An examination of Hollywood movies and celebrities;And a review of your wardrobe that will help you be content with your body type. Help yourself and those you love escape the trappings of a culture obsessed with body image so that you can come to see the true worth of the human body and the dignity God has bestowed on this temple of his presence.

In this excerpt of Walking the Parables of Jesus, Catholic author Dcn. Bob Evans reads the first chapter of his book. Walking the Parables of Jesus is a unique treatment of Jesus’ parables. Drawing on the work of many scholars, the author takes those who seek a deeper understanding of the Christian faith on a “journey” with Jesus’ disciples, from one town to another, as Jesus shared His parables in their original order and context. What is especially new and engaging, in this book, is the application of insights from Middle Eastern Biblical Anthropology. People of Jesus’ time listened to and told stories differently than people do in Western cultures today. Through applying those insights, a fresh understanding is gained of what Jesus intended at the time He spoke, as well as what the evangelists intended in later recounting the story of Jesus sharing the parable.

This short excerpt of music is what was written by God on Mary's shroud in the image that she gave to Juan Diego who presented it to his bishop as proof of Our Lady's having revealed herself to him atop Tepayec Hill on the outskirts of Mexico City in the year 1531. If you turn the shroud on its side and plot the stars on a musical sheet, this is the sound it makes.
