Episode 299: 10,000 Free Books and an 'Impossible' Edit: Launching The Personalist Cure

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:
