Customer Reviews

Definitely worth reading!

Not only do Father Grassi's stories provide great entertainment along with valuable reflection, but the insight in them just makes you feel good!

encouraging heartwarming and entertaining true stories

After reading this book I looked up Fr. Grassi's church and attended Mass there. He wasn't the priest at that service, so I didn't hear one of his famous sermons, but I could tell this author's love of life and people has infected his parish. The story that sticks in my mind was when newleweds invited him for dinner, and the bride's discussion of having thawed and refrozen the lasagna made him suspect (correctly) that he'd get food poisoning if he ate it. He ate it. If there were more priests like this man, "fallen-away" Catholics wouldn't be America's second largest denomination.

Loving life and people

What an interesting way to percieve life- in a positive light rather than doom and gloom. Makes you want to take a look at how many times similar events could have occurred in ones own life.

Heartwarming stories that make you smile and make you think.

The author obviously has enjoyed and is enjoying his life. After reading his stories it caused me to reflect on my life and helped me realize that it is so easy to dismiss events and people as not important when ,in fact, there is nothing else more impactful if we only take a little time to appreciate the effects they have on us. This book is comfortable, feel good reading.
