Ken talks with Ignatius Press editor Vivian Dudro about “The Smile of A Ragpicker” by Fr Paul Glynn (Ignatius Press) and with Laura Pearl author of the novel “Finding Grace” (Bezale Books).  Fr. Glynn brings us the heroic story of a young, beautiful woman of wealth who gave up her riches and comfort to be among the ragpickers in the Tokyo slums. Motivated by her newfound faith in Christ, she plunged into the life of the poor, regardless of the consequences. Fr. Glynn’s book is available at:  http://www.ignatius.com/Products/SMR-P/the-smile-of-a-ragpicker.aspx

"Finding Grace" was written with impressionable teen/young adult readers in mind.  It is a coming of age story about a young girl trying to live a life of “grace”.  A wonderful book for moms and dads to share with their sons and daughters because of young heroic female & male characters. Laura’s book is available at: http://www.bezalelbooks.com/bookstore.html Visit Laura’s blog: http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/
