Editing for Glory: A Conversation With Vivian Dudro, Senior Editor Ignatius Press

Bright Wings: Children’s Books to Make the Heart Soar

Vivian Dudro, senior editor at Ignatius Press, joins Charity to talk about Catholic book publishing. Vivian discusses publishing works that allow children and teens to connect their lives to the deepest truths of Christ's presence. How can "wholesome" literature depict the Real? Is it necessary for Christian books to be well-written, or is it enough for them to be church-y? Join Charity and Vivian as they explore these questions.
