Quote Me - S4 E13 Claudia Cangilla McAdam

 Season Four comes to an end with a delightful interview with Claudia Cangilla McAdam, a Catholic award-winning author of books for kids and teens. She has an undergraduate degree in English, is a graduate of the Denver Catholic Biblical School, and obtained her master’s degree in theology from the Augustine Institute in Denver. She has authored two dozen books, and her faith-based titles, ranging from picture books to young adult novels, explore the virtues, build character, and deepen faith. Her most recent work is the Biblical historical fiction novel, Beckoning, published by Our Sunday Visitor. Through her books, Claudia hopes that young readers come to learn, love, and live the Catholic faith.

 

Claudia’s quote comes from Michelangelo in 1562 (when he was eighty-seven years old!):

 

"Ancora imparo. (I am still learning.)”

Quote Me - S4 E9 Leah Jacobson

  A fter a bit of a hiatus, we are thrilled to be back with Leah Jacobson, founder and CEO of The Guiding Star Project , International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and author of Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women’s Movement . Leah lives in Central Minnesota with her husband, Josh, and seven children.    Her quote comes from Edmund Burke (we think; that attribution is contested), and was painted on the wall of her high school psychology classroom:   “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”    A couple other quotes we discuss in this episode are from St. Teresa of Calcutta:   “I do not pray for success; I ask for faithfulness.”   “We have the obligation to speak the truth but we don’t have to convince anyone.”    and St. Augustine:   “T he truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.” Leah also mentioned the film, The Business of Birth Control .   Connect with
