    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Allison Gingras on her book Jesus Heals: Finding Hope, Wholeness, and Peace.

    Jesus healed a lot of people during his earthly ministry. Yet those healings weren't fancy magic tricks to show off his divinity. Every miracle healing reveals something about Jesus and teaches us about who he is and who we are in him.

    Jesus Heals guides women through selected Bible stories of Jesus' tender care of ordinary people, all suffering in some form. Through story, Scripture reflections, and discussion questions, this prayer journal and Scripture study shows how Jesus is still healing us today, even when his healing doesn't happen in the way we expect. Whether he heals us physically or spiritually, he fulfills the promise of his words in John 10:10, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

    Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women help you deepen your connection with Jesus through inspiring stories, reflections, Scripture study, and prompts for prayer and journaling. Each journal explores a different path to spiritual growth in short, easy-to-complete chapters -- perfect for individuals or small faith-sharing groups!

    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Leigh Snead on her book Infertile but Fruitful (March 30, 2026)

    Those suffering from infertility too often do so in silence, isolation, and even shame. Some married couples find the suffering so raw and intimate that they are unable even to lean on each other. By sharing her story, Leigh Snead aims to encourage open, informed, and generous dialogue about infertility among infertile men and women, the subfertile, the secondarily infertile, those with normal fertility, and the robustly fecund.You are not alone. In the darkness and pain there is hope, healing, and life.“This is the book I wish I’d had as a young Catholic bride in her twenties, facing unexplained infertility, and aside from my husband’s unfailing and loving support, feeling so very alone,” reflects Snead.“Using my journey, I discuss the emotional difficulties that can come from infertility, the spiritual challenges it can present, what the Church teaches us, and our choice to adopt children and all the decisions that can entail. Through the many years we tried, failed, and ultimately succeeded in building our family, I share the lessons we’ve learned, the sorrows we endured, and the many blessings bestowed upon us.”This candid yet caring book is a help for those struggling with infertility — wives and husbands — but it’s also a tremendous resource for priests, physicians, counselors, and the loved ones of anyone bearing the cross of infertility. In these engaging and accessible pages, Snead reveals:
    • How to find comfort through the tangle of emotions experienced with infertility
    • The ins and outs of seeking quality health care, fertility testing, and treatment options
    • Practical tips on treatments gleaned from scientific research and personal experience
    • The Church’s teaching about the dignity of the human person, and the two ends of married love
    • What to consider regarding Artificial Reproductive Technologies (ART)
    • Ways to prepare for welcoming a new child, whether biological or adopted
    This powerful book also includes stories of other women who, struggling with infertility, embraced God’s plan of love and life, and either adopted, eventually conceived children, or made the world a better place as spiritual mothers. Snead’s “Lessons Along the Way” at the end of each chapter offer real-life suggestions to help guide and support you on your journey.

    Episode 258: Gerry Turcotte on his book The Space Between (March 23, 2026)

    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Gerry Turcotte on his book The Space Between. (March 23, 2026)

    The Space Between by Gerry Turcotte is a wry, tender novel that explores faith, failure, love, and longing through a series of sharply observed episodes. Moving from boyhood to adult reckoning, Turcotte writes with humor, intellectual depth, and emotional honesty about the spaces between belief and doubt, devotion and rebellion, intimacy and solitude. This is a reflective, often laugh-out-loud meditation on identity, grace, and becoming human.
