The Thorny Grace of It

Doyle's trademark candor, wit, and humor make this collection of more than 40 essays eminently enjoyable to read. From preparing for his First Confession by creating a fake laundry list of sins, to observing his mom's reaction to John F. Kennedy's assassination, to pondering his friend's surprising success with Catholic Golf Digest, Doyle's passionate writing is as likely to make us shed a tear as it is to make us laugh out loud. In the end, The Thorny Grace of It proves that, far from being extinguished, the Catholic faith--imperfect as it is--is wildly aflame in hearts and lives everywhere!
