How Do You Do It?
SKU: 978-1-68595-365-2
Product Details
By Gerald Russello | Edited by David G. Bonagura, Jr.
“How do you do it?” This question was asked often of Gerald Russello. Husband and father, attorney and professor of law, editor, writer, and reviewer, institutional advisor and board member, friend of many, Gerald’s loves and labors were nothing short of prodigious.
This volume presents Gerald’s preeminent writings. Part I offers glimpses of the man himself, a man of community and of faith. Part II presents his work on Russell Kirk and conservatism as a disposition of the soul to preserve life’s permanent things. Part III is a thematic history of the conservative movement, from Edmund Burke to Roger Scruton. Part IV considers humanist heroes like Christopher Dawson, Orestes Brownson, and Jacques Barzun. Part V articulates “The Catholic Thing,” the ways Catholics bring the teachings of Christ into the particulars of daily life. Part VI showcases Gerald’s legal acumen and scholarship. Parts VII and VIII treat the ancient classics and the American founding. Part IX considers the culture in light of Gerald’s conviction that “Beauty will save the world, not govern it.”
How Gerald Russello did what he did is a mystery known only to God. Why he did what he did, however, is no such mystery. In the words of David G. Bonagura, Jr., his friend and editor, Gerald “did not write for immortality nor for fame; he wrote for love. In this, we are right to remember and esteem him, for he has communicated life’s greatest mystery to us through his pen.”
Gerald J. Russello (1971–2021) was the longtime editor of The University Bookman and fellow at the Chesterton Institute. He was the author of The Postmodern Imagination of Russell Kirk and the editor of Christianity and European Culture: Selections from the Work of Christopher Dawson. A practicing attorney, he regularly reviewed books and wrote essays on religion, culture, conservatism, law, and the humanities.
David G. Bonagura, Jr., is an adjunct professor of classical languages at St. Joseph’s Seminary, New York, an adjunct professor of theology at Catholic International University, and the religion editor of The University Bookman. Author of two books, Steadfast in Faith and Staying with the Church, he is also the translator of Jerome’s Tears: Letters to Friends in Mourning.

Testimonials
We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
