An intensely human tour of the great spiritual battles in the US Catholic church during the late 20th century. Brian… More

This book wasnt well written, it was confusing, and it did not pull you in at all. I thought it left me hanging. It never really developed a story line and the author tried to fit all these stories into one book, it didn't work out very well.

The cover says it's storytelling at its heart pounding, page turning, masterful best (Philadelphia Bulletin). I completely agree, I couldn't put it down until I'd read the last page and now I eagerly await the sequel!

Comments:
a real commentary on the state of the world today, and how we as Catholics need to step up to the plate and speak the truth, even in difficult siuations. I found this useful because it gave me a real insight into what my husband and other men of fatih battle everyday , has inspired me to pray for him more fervently. Also an eyeopening look at priestly life and the challenges that come with a religious vocation, please pray for priests. This book is quite possibly the most important that I've read in a long time. Thanks Brian Gale for having the courage to write it. Very well- researched and informative. If you are using the pill, this is a life and death must read. Enjoy and share .
