“#Rules_of_Engagement: 8 Habits for Being Good and Doing Good Online”

Author: Ann M. Garrido

Summary: Compassionate, honest, and truthful may not be the descriptors many of us would choose for our social media interactions. More often, they tend to be hurtful, provocative, and misleading. Nevertheless, as Christians, we have a duty to utilize the “digital continent” for positive purposes. So, how can we effect that change? In her recent publication, Ann M. Garrido presents eight principles to empower Catholics to be a positive influence on social media: clarify your aim, recognize your sources, grasp bias, appreciate the individual, approach with curiosity, discuss intent and consequences, prioritize in-person communication, and conserve your energy. As Father Harrison Ayre mentioned in his review, this book “serves as an essential guide for navigating the digital content that has become part of the mission fields for the new evangelization.”

“Money Matters: Faith, Life, and Wealth”

Authors: R. Paul Stevens and Clive Lim

Summary: “It barely requires validation that money plays a significant role in the daily lives of people, as well as being a vital aspect of the overall productivity of society,” state authors Paul Stevens and Clive Lim in “Money Matters.” They continue, “Jesus must have realized this, as he addressed money more frequently than prayer and heaven.” The authors treat “Money Matters” thoughtfully — steering clear of both the prosperity gospel and the vilification of material wealth. The insights from Stevens and Lim are theological, historical, and practical, concentrating on what it signifies to live with faithful integrity in our modern global economy. “Money Matters” offers perspectives to aid readers, churches, and society in becoming responsible stewards of money within today’s economic framework.

“Real Presence: What Does It Mean and Why Does It Matter?”

Author: Timothy P. O’Malley

Summary: In his most recent publication, Our Sunday Visitor columnist Timothy O’Malley addresses a crucial area where further catechesis of the faithful is essential. In 2019, the Pew Research Center revealed that nearly 70% of Catholics hold the belief that the Eucharist presented at Mass is simply a symbol for Christ’s body and blood, claiming that he is not genuinely present. In “Real Presence,” O’Malley delves into not only the Church’s teaching on this subject but also the beliefs and teachings of the early Church Fathers regarding transubstantiation and the Eucharist. Going further, O’Malley examines practical methods to cultivate a more profound devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, ultimately guiding readers towards deeper communion with God and their neighbors.
