Off The Shelf

 The world tries to tell us we will never be happy unless we accumulate more stuff, that we will never be good enough so why try, and that our success is measured by the size of our bank accounts. And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the bad guidance it doles out! Following this path leads to a life of misery and frustration. We need to turn away from what the world tells us and lead a life filled with purpose. But how? Kaiser Johnson joins me this week to discuss what he has discovered in his own life and how we can change ours for the better as well. Get a copy of Kasier's latest   How to Be Miserable and Alone: (Or Discover a Life That Truly Matters)  here .  

  This week I am joined by Dan LeRoy, author of the fantastic new book  Liberty’s Lions: The Catholic Revolutionaries Who Established America.  We pull the veil back on time and take a look at the contributions of Catholics during the Revolutionary years. Often suppressed by history due to the general poor perception of Catholics in the colonies, there's a lot to learn here and you'll grow in greater appreciation of their many contributions.

  This week on Off the Shelf Steve Hemler returns to discuss the third book in his apologetics trilogy,  Catholic Stories of Faith and Hope: How God Brings Good Out of Suffering . If there has ever been a time when we needed to understand this concept those times are now. 

  We live in a pretty messed up world and the only thing that will fix is to refocus on God. But how do we know if we are doing religion right? Father Kirby returns this week to discuss his book  Real Religion: How to Avoid False Faith and Worship God in Spirit and Truth.  Get your copy  here .
