We hit the JACKPOT in recent days — most recently — the gift of two visits with MARCUS GRODI from The Coming Home Network, Int’l. This CV podcast introduces that Marcus has written a book LIFE FROM THE LAND: The Search For A Simpler Life In A Complex World, by Ignatius Press. But before we get into his book (our next show will take us into life with Marcus and his family on his farm) — this show will have Marcus telling us about his Lutheran baptism and early faith walk. Then his abandonment of religion and then his ‘born-again’ experience which brought him back, not to Catholicism, but to Protestant practice.
Becoming Catholic was the last thing in the world on Marcus’ mind when he decided to go to a talk given by a former seminary student colleague, Scott Hahn. That was the beginning of an exciting journey which led to Marcus and wife Marilyn entry into Catholicism. From there: time spent at Franciscan University…. a guest appearance on EWTN TV and the ultimate startup of tremendously popular Journey Home television series.
There’s a wealth of material — including access to the TV shows that Marcus has hosted with former Protestant and non-Christian people who’ve entered the fullness of the Catholic Faith. You can order books and CD’s and DVD’s. The entry point into all of these resources is: www.chnetwork.org
Ignatius books are available at most Catholic booksellers, at larger booksellers and through Amazon. You can go directly to the Ignatius product offerings at
