Episode 299: 10,000 Free Books and an 'Impossible' Edit: Launching The Personalist Cure
Being Human
Dr. Greg thought the draft was good. A year later, he called it "terrible." That's how a book ends up taking almost ten years to write. With The Personalist Cure finally launching, Dr. Greg sits down with his good friend Dr. Bryan Violette for a conversation that circles back on itself the way John Paul II's own writing does. Along the way, they get to the heart of the book: the difference between love that controls and love that sets free. Key Topics: * Why so much of what passes for love is really a compulsive effort to get your own needs met * What emancipating love looks like: willing the good of the other for their sake, even when it costs you * Why the love Jesus shows on the cross changes how you see every relationship in your life * What John Paul II meant by mutual submission in marriage — and why it's the opposite of control Learn More: * The Personalist Cure by Dr. Greg Bottaro — the book behind this episode, almost ten years in the making * Join us at the Summit of Integration in Dallas, October 20–23, celebrating the Feast of St. John Paul II (virtual tickets available) * Need help?
