    Hi Lisa- I hope all is well with you! You continue to be in my prayers daily for God’s healing grace for your health. Your podcast featuring the work of Justin Fatica was great. One thing that breaks my heart is watching young Catholics go off to college, as I did, and find “comfort” in a Protestant faith because of the “fun/faithless” events in their campus ministry programs. We need more Justin’s in our Church’s for high school youth ministry…NOT JUST RE…and on college campuses to offer continued faith formation which focuses on college students…and fun too. I will be waiting to hear if I have won Justin’s book, as I would love to read it. God Bless!

    With four teenage sons, one of whom is in college and left the faith, I’d love this book!!

    I would love to read this book … and pass it down to my daughters. I am finding more and more really inspiring young people who do such a great job evangelizing.

    As a mom of 6 and one on the way, my husband and I need all the help we can get o help our children embrace and love their faith. God is definetly using Justin to do just that! This book will be an invaluable tool in our household.

    Thank you Lisa for allowing God to use you also as his instrument in this life.

    Our Youth Ministry could use some help… maybe this book would be a good aid.

    Hi Lisa! Great episode and interview with Justin! I heartily enjoyed it and passed it along to the youth Minster at my church, who is also a good family friend, and to a few other church friends and my parents. As I’m a first year college student, I’m inspired in my quest and love of new media (blogs, podcasts) and my love of spreading the great work that and the other podcasters of SQPN are doing! Feel free to enter my name for this contest (my email is written in the contact info for this comment) and I’d love to pass on this book to my parents and other parents in my parish. Keep up the great work! I heartily enjoy all your interviews on the podcast and get inspired in learning something new each episode! Thanks!

    Hi Lisa,
    Enter me to win this great book! My oldest son who is in college could use it! Is Jason visiting Purdue University any time soon?

    Wow! I listened to your podcast interview with Justin last night. I just kept thinking, “Here is a man who is truly using his gifts for the Glory of God!” Those same gifts could be used to bring more evil into the world, so I am so happy to know that Justin is on our side. I am from Erie PA, and my 4 brothers and 3 nephews attended Cathedral Prep as Justin did (last name Luddy). I have passed on the web site information to our DRE at our parish, and if I win the book I will give it to him. God Bless both you and Justin in your ministries!

    What a wonderful man. Sharing his faith and encouraging our young in their faith. God bless and thanks for the opportunity to win this book.

    I love your podcasts! My husband and I have a sweet little boy who we are bringing up in the Church. As a matter of fact, he and my husband were baptized at the same time at an Easter Vigil–extra special!! We would love this book. God bless you!

  16. Erika Riecken on March 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm:

    Lisa,

    My husband just dragged me kicking and screaming into the podcast world. Yours was one he set up for me on my new iPod. Wow! What have I been missing? I’m looking forward to listening to some older episodes too. Thanks for being there.

  17. Cathy C on March 28th, 2009 at 11:08 pm:

    I think this would be a great book for my teenage sons. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks for all you do!

  18. Christine Hebert on April 1st, 2009 at 10:32 am:

    I’d love this!

  19. Anne Chester on April 4th, 2009 at 6:16 pm:

    I agree with Karla, one thing that I have noticed in my parish is that there are not many activites for the young, it is something that I pray will change in time.
