Customer Reviews

I could really identify with his growing up Catholic views!

I could totally identify with this author as we both came from blue collar working large families and also attended Marquette University working our way through college. A beautifully written and honest appraisal of Catholicism and how it has affected his life.

Great seller

Received the book in a timely manner and it was in great condition. I would buy from this seller again.

In Due Season: A Catholic Life

A courageous man shares the truth of his life of faith. Yet again, a stunning example of how God's ways are not ours. The bitter sweetness of an individual's search for life's purpose. Wilkes' writing style is a joy to read.

Right up there with Merton

I started reading this book one evening and could not put it down. Needless to say, I was up all night reading. Having read most of Thomas Merton's writings I find this certainly as thought provoking. I ordered this book after reading a preview. I am so glad I went ahead and ordered. It is outstanding.
