Three Ways to Follow the Twitter Chat
1. Follow Liguori Publications on Twitter: @Liguori_Pub. Liguori Publications will be tweeting chat questions, retweeting my answers, and retweeting discussion highlights. If you’d like to see a simplified overview of the discussion rather than every single #FamilyFaithChat tweet, then follow @Liguori_Pub.
2. Follow the #FamilyFaithChat hashtag on Twitter. Search for the hashtag on Twitter and see who’s tweeting with it! The “Top” view will only show the most popular tweets, so you’ll want to click the “Live” view for real-time updates. Refresh your page regularly to see the latest tweets. If you want to see every tweet in the discussion, follow the hashtag or do #3 below.
3. Use TweetChat.com. TweetChat.com is an easy tool you can use to follow and participate in Twitter chats. Just go to TweetChat.com and enter the hashtag #FamilyFaithChat, or go straight to this link:  http://tweetchat.com/room/familyfaithchat It will open the conversation in a live chat setting and automatically add #FamilyFaithChat to the end of your tweets. This is an easy way to follow the Twitter chat without constantly refreshing.
TWO Ways to Participate in the Twitter Chat
 
1. Tweet a question you’d like to ask me! Ask me any question you want about Catholic family life and building up your domestic church. When you tweet your question, make sure to tag Liguori Publications (@Liguori_Pub) and use the hashtag #FamilyFaithChat. Liguori Publications will tweet questions from the audience for me to answer during the Twitter chat. If you have a question, tweet it to Liguori anytime in the next week or during the Twitter chat, and they’ll add it to the list! The sooner you send in your question, the more likely it’ll be featured in the discussion.
 
2. Share your thoughts in the conversation. During the Twitter chat, Liguori Publications will tweet numbered questions (Q1, Q2, etc.) and I’ll respond. Jump into the conversation and share your own thoughts on each topic! Make sure to use the hashtag #FamilyFaithChat.
One more thing! You can click here to have easy-peasy copy to put into your Tweet!
I hope that you will join us at our party, I mean Twitter Chat!

My participation in this upcoming book: “Family, the Church, and the Real World”

Family life is both messy and holy. I’m sure you’ll agree. I am happy to report that I have written a portion of a new book for families titled, Family, the Church, and the Real World due to be released on August 1st in time for the World Meeting of Families.

My contribution is about the “Domestic Church.”

A description from Liguori:

If you embrace only the holiness, or if you just get lost in the messiness, then you miss the fullness of the experience that is living as a family – both in the domestic church and the Institutional Church. Here you’ll find inspiration from Scripture and modern advice that does more than just tell you how family life is “supposed” to be. This book gives you real, practical wisdom on how to navigate the holy messiness of family life.

Insights have been gathered from experts in every area of family life, including: Dr. Sean Reynolds, Dr. Greg and Lisa Popcak, Lisa Hendey, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, Dr. Don Paglia, Christopher West, Fr. Andrew Wisdom, Dr. Tom Neal, and Greg and Jennifer Willits. You’ll discover that Catholic Church teaching on marriage and family is rooted in our ultimate calling – to love with all we can muster, even through those messy moments.

Here’s a link to the book’s description and other details at the publisher.

You can pre-order the book (which sells for $15.00) at my website here.

May God bless families everywhere!
