Author and entrepreneur Peter Giersch joins the show to talk about his book Talking of Michelangelo: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell in the Burgundy Region. Drawing inspiration from both classic theology and modern culture, Giersch shares how a monastery retreat reshaped his understanding of sin, mercy, and eternity.

Blending influences like The Catcher in the Rye and Mere Christianity, the book offers a conversational yet deeply reflective look at Catholic teaching. Listeners are invited to engage with the harder truths of the faith while finding God in everyday experiences.
