An informative and wonderful read about a priest's journey; allowing the reader to go into the depth of his heart. As a devoted Catholic I have never known how very important it is to understand that our priests have struggles too and how very important it is for us to pray for them; for all of our "shepherds" doing God's work. I always looked "up" to our priests; once ordained and seeimingly unapproachable; so sacred. I never gave it much thought that they are human and have struggles too. We have all had "Doubting Thomas" experiences but it should never prevent us from wanting to preach the good news. I am such a Michael Ripple fan. Thank you Mr. Ripple for writing this much needed book.

I started a new job...then ended up having a full summer of being a Dad, Husband, Son--and Uncle. I tried to grow organic things in the garden and remodeled a basement. nnnnnervous dad snow in Utah I prayed some more and then would think about writing. ...about finishing a children's book....about maybe
