More of Life and Love

More of Life and Love by Msgr. Jim Lisante is a collection of the author's most noteworthy essays. As a Catholic priest, author, speaker, and host of the podcast "Personally Speaking," Lisante draws from pastoral experience, personal stories, and faith reflections to explore themes of divine love, human dignity, and Christian living. The book emphasizes God's unconditional love for every person--including the unborn--and encourages readers to live out that love through compassionate action in everyday life. It blends humorous and tragic real-life anecdotes with practical advice, making it accessible and engaging. Each chapter ends with probing reflection questions, ideal for individual spiritual reading, family discussions, parish groups, or community study. It's aimed at a broad audience--young and older adults alike--seeking deeper insight into faith matters, particularly around love, life issues, and moral decision-making in a contemporary context.

The tone is warm, pastoral, and encouraging, using storytelling to open hearts to God's wondrous love while addressing serious topics like the sanctity of life without being overly polemical.
