Renowned Ignatian scholar and expert, Fr. Joseph Tetlow, SJ, shares insights and approaches for making the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. This audio, Called Forth in Love, focuses on the second of the four weeks of the Spiritual Exercises.  St. Ignatius separated the Spiritual Exercises into four "weeks," although each section may actually take more or less than seven days. This audio series also acts as a companion to Fr. Tetlow's long-selling guidebook to directing the Exercises according to St. Ignatius' 18th and 19th annotations for use in daily life---Choosing Christ in the World.

This is a brief introduction to my DVD "Welcome to God's Library: Introducing Catholics to the Bible." Many Catholics grew up "biblically deprived." Since the Second Vatican Council, Catholics are reclaiming the Bible.

In the year 2000, I filmed a video titled Welcome to God’s Library which provided a basic introduction to the Bible for Catholics (intermediate/junior high through adult). The video summarizes the thrust of my book God’s Library. Several years ago, this video and the original edition of the book went out of print. Since then, I’ve been receiving inquiries from people interested in buying copies of the video (especially since Loyola Press published a new version of the book, God’s Library: A Catholic Introduction to the World’s Greatest Book in 2005)

So here’s what I did: I worked with my son, Mike, who is a videographer, to update the master copy of the video so that it is up to date (except for the fact that I look 8 years younger than I am now!) and refers to the new edition of the book. We then transferred it to DVD.

For more information about my DVD, send me an e-mail at welcometogodslibrary@comcast.net, providing me with your name, shipping address, and quantity and I’ll get back to you with details.

Here is a description of the DVD (42 minutes):
