Began working at @orbisbooks on July 6, 1987, 34 years ago. So grateful for this life, my colleagues, the authors I have worked with, and support of @MaryknollFrsBrs. Every day I get to wake up and say, "Here I am. Let's get to work." view.flipdocs.com/?ID=100273….

@DeannaTheMrs Hi. I happened to come across your video review of "The Franciscan Saints." I know it was not your cup of tea (fair enough), but you said you had many questions for the author, which I would be happy to answer. Feel free to contact me: orbisbooks@maryknoll.org

Great review of David Steindl-Rast’s “99 Names of God.” Available now at 30% off at @OrbisBooks. orbisbooks.com/99-names-of-g…
In "99 Names of God," the author's intent is not to collapse Islam into Christianity or vice versa, but rather to appreciate that Muslims too encounter God, and like Christians their naming is a way to enter into the nameless origin of all. ncr.media/3h8X96I
