Field Guide at back of book

There are numerous memoirs about heart transplants, but few focus on the spiritual journey of how facing death forces one to confront new levels between faith and “faking it. ”

The author doesn’t see the world through the eyes of a clerical collar, but through the eyes of a former drunk and user, which is unique to books that are written by priests about finding or rediscovering faith.

Written in frank, no-holds-barred, no-bullshit prose that will ultimately uplift those afflicted with addiction or are languishing in a hospital bed, lonely, frustrated, and without faith.

Shares the difficulty of practicing what he preached as a priest and how addiction and a heart transplant brought him to a point of true grace and humility.

The author will be touring California, Indiana, and New York Archdiocese, bookstores, college campuses, and transplant medical clinics.

At a time when many have turned their backs on faith, this offers an approachable, unassuming look into the power of faith.

Bestselling authors John Lescroart and Father Joseph F. Girzone will be writing
