Dawn Eden, bestselling author The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On (Thomas Nelson, 2006) will be discussing her new book My Peace I Give You: Healing Sexual Wounds with the Help of the Saints (Ave Maria Press, 2012) tonight on Catholic Answers Live at 7pm ET.
Born into a Jewish family in New York City, Dawn worked as a rock music historian, and worked on the editorial staff for New York City newspapers, including the Post and the Daily News . When Dawn was thirty-one, she experienced a dramatic conversion to Christianity that ultimately led her to enter the Catholic Church.
She will give a lecture and book signing here at First Things next Thursday, September 13. More details to come . . .
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
