Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living author Interview series on radio and podcast.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and today’s show is brought to you by POM Wonderful; 100% Pomegranate Juice is “health in a bottle.” We have an excellent holiday program about a surprising story of faith and friendship.

Thank you so much for listening. As I say, we’ve got a great guest today, who, after reading his new book, I’ve been looking forward to for a while and whom I’ll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 680th episode, and I spoke with physicist, NASA scientist, author, and Smithsonian Associate Les Johnson about A Traveler’s Guide to the Stars: The Possibilities of Interstellar Exploration

Two weeks ago, I spoke to Smithsonian Associate Clay Jenkinson about Gulliver’s Travels and the fascinating story within a story, not just for children.  Wonderful stuff…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you there on our website, NotOld-Better.com…and if you leave a review, we will read it at the end of each show…leave reviews on Apple Podcasts for us.

Many people, as I did, first came to know Sr. Wendy Beckett in the 1990s through her popular television program, "Sister Wendy's Odyssey." She was an unlikely celebrity: diminutive, dressed in a medieval-looking black habit of her own design, her lively and intelligent features offset by large spectacles.

In 2018 Sister Wendy Beckett passed away.  Several years prior to Sis Wendy’s passing she began corresponding with our guest today author Robert Ellsberg.  The book Dearest Sister Wendy . . . A Surprising Story of Faith and Friendship that resulted from those letters, emails, conversations and contact is out now, I’ve read it, and we’ll be talking with Robert Ellsberg about it today on The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.
