About these books:
In these three books, Dr. Michael J. Baglino [AKA Michael Matone] presents a series of articles and vignettes on religion,
psychology, politics and culture. He shows us that God is with us in our daily lives through all our trials, travels and decisions.
Insights are garnered from classical education along with our participation in this post-modernist world. Throughout we see
splashes of Catholic thought from St. Ignatius of Loyola to St. Thomas Aquinas to a more contemporary soon to be Saint Fr.
Walter Ciszek. Definitely not without humor, Michael presents a down to earth and Catholic perspective to so many of our
contemporary issues
