If you're looking for a book that will free you to think for yourself independent of church rules, this is the one.I first read the book in 1969 and have re-read it many times over the years. It helped tremendously with guilt I felt from being raised in a strict religion and freed me to find my own spiritual path. An honest and exceptional book.

His Influence Continues

Poet and former priest James Kavanaugh continues to write and publish poetry that changes lives, encourages souls, inspires unfettered spirituality, and helps us embrace the love that is loose in the world and beyond. This title, one of his earliest, and the many more that he's written since, have sold over 16 million copies, and every poetry reading he gives is sold out. This quiet man writes prose and poetry that sings of the love of God that we return to God and share with each other, and it helps us recognize the sacred in our lives.

Changed my life!

I read this at the age of 14.....I have read better books over the years but to me, it was as influential a book as I have ever read. I am a former Catholic clergyperson hoping to be ordained in the United Church of Christ. If anyone reading this knows how to contact James Kavanaugh, please thank him for me. If you know his email, please get it to me!

It amazed me completely.

James Kavanaugh tells us amazing and startling things about the priesthood and the Catholic Church in general. As a Roman Catholic, I find this book very enlightening and informative.

Amen

I read this book in the early 70s & remember thinking: Blow out your lantern Diogenes, here is YOUR MAN! After that, I read every thing James Kavanaugh wrote. And am still reading. Not only honest, he has style, class and a way with words unequaled in modern poetry. Nuff said.
