New Review

A recent review of A Lost Shepherd--from amazon.com
"... a special talent for not only telling stories, but also connecting with his audience. This book is a roller coaster of suspense, failure, and triumph. Not only is it a joy to read, but it is also a source of inspiration. "Rips" has the courageousness to share his mistakes with the world, reminding each and everyone of us that we are not perfect, and that faith is a life-long battle. He has undoubtedly been called in one way or another to lead others to Christ, and is a prime example that anything is possible when you "put it on the altar" and allow the Holy Spirit into your heart."

A Lost Shepherd--a postcard from Georgia

At the publishing house of New Hope Press in Georgia--working on the final edition of A Lost Shepherd.
Had a great breakfast with members of the prayer group and all those who work at New Hope.

Asking for some prayers for all those involved with this little endeavor.
Thanks!

Does Mary Have a Sense of Humor?

For the past few years I have been writing a book--A Lost Shepherd; an ex-priest's journey from sin to salvation

Of course I'm not going to tell you about it right now.  It will soon be available.

---what I want to share (at the urging of my lovely wife) are just two of the many coincidences--or God Incidents--which have marked the endeavor throughout the years.  Actually they might be considered the 'book ends' of the project.

In 1989 someone gave me a book entitled--Medjugorje The Message  by Wayne Weible.
---I didn't read it.  I threw it away.

I spent most of 2009 and 2010 sending the manuscript out to a variety of publishers.
--The story was eventually accepted by a new publishing company that didn't even exist when I began writing the manuscript six years ago.
The name of the company that finally accepted the manuscript?--New Hope Press Publishing Company
which is owned by--you got it...Wayne Weible.

I wonder if Mary laughed at that.
