Pub Date! My newest book, “American Odyssey,” has just been released.

Having had six such days thus far in a life of 22,630, I can state that it’s a rare, exciting, and humbling moment. What began as some scattered thoughts, proceeded to form with the accumulation of words, underwent constant transformation as the project developed, was subjected to the slicing of the editor’s knife, was transmitted to printers in spite of eternal misgivings that parts could still be improved, and finally appeared at my doorstep as a beautiful physical object, is a magical and mysterious process. My deepest thanks to my good friends Byron Smith and Jeremy Beer for their support and enthusiasm for this book, and for creating and leading the wonderful new press, Creed & Culture Books. I’m grateful to Notre Dame graduate student Gabrielle Grow for extraordinary research and editorial assistance. And my thanks to Brad Birzer, Jessica Hooten Wilson, Joshua Mitchell, and Susan McWilliams Barndt for their humbling blurbs.

The book has already sold out at Amazon on day one, but more copies coming soon. You can order there now and await restocking quite soon, or buy directly from the publisher.

Bob is a living saint. And a dear friend. Deserved yet characteristically humble, giving credit to God and his beloved family.

Congratulations to our dear friend Bobby Kloska on being honored tonight at Marian’s Spirit of Giving event.

Bobby is truly a gift from God. I often refer to him as a living saint. Blessed to have been there tonight.

Chuck did a wonderful job as the emcee.

Congrats as well to Rob Meyers and Kitty Gunty, who were also honored for their incredible service to Marian.

Last week I had the immense pleasure and honor to lecture on Homer’s Odyssey at Ralston College. I met there a group of inspiring young people who were intensely committed to exploring ideas with rigor, seriousness, and as if their lives depended on deep understanding leading to right action. Because, they do, and they know it. It was truly a delight to be with you @RalstonCollege.
