I just had a great conversation with my Anglican friend about ecumenical issues.
What was encouraging about it was that topics came up from the book constantly. He even played Protestant advocate and managed to echo several of the key Protestant objections that I respond to in the book. He is of the Anglo-Catholic "strain" of Anglican Protestantism, so he is already sympathetic to many Catholic ideas.
I may ask him to review the manuscript; he could give me a Protestant's perspective on it and provide valuable feedback. (The only obstacle is that he is a Ph.D. candidate in Government and is swamped with reading already! Oh well, I may hit him up for the favor anyhow.)
Book Revision

I am revising the first draft of the book! Two people are currently helping me with the revision in different ways: One is examining the chapter outline from a high-level, and the other is reading the manuscript focusing on overall clarity of the arguments presented. (Of course, I understand each of the arguments perfectly well, but it will be very good to see whether I presented them in a lucid way.)
It also looks like I will have a series of articles about fatherhood published in the next few months. I don't want to say more until it is more certain, but I will keep you posted.

A few updates on the book's progress:
My first reviewer is about half-way through the book and is providing valuable insights
I have three leads with publishers, but I am holding back from contacting them until I give the first publisher I submitted to the opportunity to accept the book's proposal
The book is going to get something of a "dry run through" when I teach a portion of its content for an advanced catechesis class at my parish beginning this Thursday.
50 Roads to Rome Book Proposal Sent to Publisher

I have submitted a formal proposal for 50 Roads to Rome to a noted Catholic publisher. Within the next several weeks I will find out whether they are the lucky ones to publish my book. ;)
This publisher was recommended to me by a fellow Catholic apologist, so I decided to try them out first and give them the first opportunity to publish it.
