An inspiring, very human and down-to-earth collection of stories, and the insights of Father Hannon that recognize the Hand of God in everyday life. Hard to put down, but a great daily reading to enrich one's spiritual life!

God is good - all the time !

Fr. pat has a remarkable ability to weave life-stories into prayerful reflection, calling for openness and honesty in confronting our need for God's compassionate forgiveness.

When In Need

Forgiveness from mankind can be a multi-sided sword. Fr Pat offers his heart to help us learn of both mankind's forgiveness and the ever growing forgiveness of God. Thank you. PJ

My advise is to buy this book, read it and share it. It is a very quick read but you will end wanting more. Once again, Fr. Pat uses true stories and wit to grab our attention and show us God's Mercy and love. This book is not limited to 'a' faith or church but speaks to everyone.

Another winner from Father Pat

Father Pat has woven a beautiful selection of stories about mercy, hope and forgiveness in his new book. He will leave you wanting more. You will also feel his passion and love for humankind. He shares pieces of his life as a child, a teen and as a priest. He calms us with his compassion. He relieves our tensions with his soft wit. Father Pat shares stories about his parents and siblings, his encounters with the elderly and the street people. His words come to life and the book becomes a beautiful experience, one you will want to read again and again. Father Pat has an insight far beyond his 47 years. He is compassionate, loving and we can only hope his words are applied by the readers as they have moved us. God bless you Father Pat and thank you for sharing your extraordinary gift of writing with the world.
