"The most passionate Catholic storyteller in America? That might be Brian Doyle, the author of this eclectic and compelling collection of stories about discovery the incarnated Spirit of God every time he turns around, often in the most unlikely of people, places, and things. In 37 short snapshots, he captures the spiritual essence of everyday life from the perspective of a committed Catholic who loves his faith, his family, his community, and his church, even with all their warts and failings..."--P. [4] of cover.
