The CCO Reads Podcast Dan Freeman

Welcome back for Part 2 of my conversation with the very quotable Natalie Morrill. In this episode, we talk about evangelizing arts and culture, and Natalie tells me all about the experience of writing her first novel, 'The Ghost Keeper'.

Are you an aspiring writer trying to discern if this might be God's will for your life? Do you value the craft and beauty of writing as an art form? Do you long for a 'Catholic literary revival' in our time? If you answered yes to any of these questions, tune in for this 2-parter with professor, editor, novelist extraordinaire (and CCO alumna!)—Natalie Morrill.

Cardinal Sarah's autobiography is a moving account of conversion and vocational discovery in a climate of persecution. His humility, clarity, and profound spiritual integrity have inspired many Catholics to go deeper in their quest for holiness and intimacy with God.

Fr. Cristino Bouvette is priest and vocational director for the Diocese of Calgary Alberta, and a huge Cardinal Sarah fan!
