Summary: discussions with a good friend
Review: bishop doran has been a priest for 35 years, so he has experience dealing with many of life's problems. the book is a compilation of articles, sermons, speeches as well as writings specifically for the book.the topics are those faced by most people in the daily grind of human existence. doran's prose gives one an undertanding of how God is trying to use your problems and pain to redeem the world. he also gives good sound advice on how to solve the issues and learn from one's mistakes. he takes the approach of a good friend or mentor in helping the reader negotiate the shoals of everyday living. he is a loyal priest to catholic doctrine, so don't expect any softening of doctrine. an excellent read, and a good companion to which you can turn to when you have questions of "why me?"

Summary: Recommending Reading
Review: Having heard Bishop Doran's sermons a few times at Confirmations and Graduations, I was not at all surprised by the wealth of information in this book. His use of stories to make a point is inspiring. Giving word origins (from the Latin...) to help us understand commonly used, but not necessarily fully understood words brings insight. And his use of pure logic is refreshing in this day and age. I read the book in one evening and by the time I was finished, I was reading through tears. I must say I am extremely proud and thankful to live and attend church in Bishop Doran's diocese.
