The lens of COVID-19 sheds much light on the state of our collective soul as a nation... and it is not often a pretty picture. While there were some benefits gained from the pandemic, such as more time spent with immediate family and increased parent involvement in their children’s education, some negatives were also unmasked – one of them being the west’s inordinate fear of suffering and of death. Living in a society that has moved from theistic and God-centered to relativistic and self-centered, a book with a title such as this one certainly grabs attention. Written by the archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia, Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., it is a topic that, when he began the draft for this in 2019 at age 75, became more urgent for him since “the road of life in the rearview mirror is a lot longer than the road ahead” (7). Having retired in 2020, after serving for 9 years in Philadelphia (he was named archbishop by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011), he took some of his newfound free time to pen many thoughtful reflections and insights on death, and therefore, life. Chaput begins the book talking about the importance of history and a having a purpose. He discusses our natural loves as humans – family, friends, honor, and integrity – and that, as Christians, we know that these flow from the Author of life and love itself. However, he cautions that there are times coming that will test us and cause us to fall into fear and doubt. “Fear of martyrdom is the start of an honest appraisal of our own spiritual mediocrity” (14). We must not think that we can compromise with the culture on the Christian view of the human person because “the world and its hatreds won’t allow it” (23). He also reminds us that love requires sacrifice:","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"89 1","pages":"212 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47146839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a bioethicist and a new mother, when presented with this book review, I was eager to delve into this topic of health after pregnancy and found the book to be a gift in my own life. Auth is a graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville with a degree in Catechetics and experience working in youth ministry and marriage preparation. She now homeschools her four children. As a mother of four, Auth shares the physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles and joys of each of the births and postpartum periods of each child’s life as the framework for her book. Through this lens, she recognizes the need and call to learn to glorify God, body and soul, and grow in virtue postpartum. She qualifies that the postpartum period is not the typical three months but really the entire year after giving birth. From these stories, Auth enters into more specific aspects of her postpartum journey and offers insight into the research she did while overcoming these health challenges. Auth enters into postpartum depression and depletion, physical recovery, marital struggles and natural family planning (NFP), mental and spiritual health, and finally community.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"351 - 352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0024363920924581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45421312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
