Living
In Love: About Christian Ethics
As human beings struggle
to resist the depersonalizing forces of today's technological
society, the concepts "loving" and "caring"
take on new depths of meaning.
Ronda Chervin explores
the reasons for living in love, the ways we can identify
"the loving thing to do" in our personal lives,
the steps needed for making a loving decision, and the
applications of ethical principles to social -- even
global -- issues. This book, used for decades by individuals
and as a teaching tool for H.S. and College age includes
arguments from Scripture and from reason for the most
difficult to explain teachings of the Church.

The
Way of the Pilgrimess – the Story of Sister Magnificat
of Catholic Solitudes as told to Ronda Chervin:
When I lived at Catholic Solitudes as a lay contemplative
I met an extraordinary French woman who traveled from
Paris to Jerusalem on foot as a pilgrim, lived many
years as a contemplative nun and is now a hermit living
in France and part of the year in Texas at Catholic
Solitudes. I loved her story and decided to write it
down so others could be inspired.
