The book we are currently reading for our book club is Father Joe, the Man Who Saved My Soul, by Tony Hendra. I love this book! It is going to end up being on my list of favorite books. It is auto biographical. It is a book that will get you thinking and reflecting about your own life, your faith, and your existence.
Father Joe is a Benedictine Monk whom Tony met when he was a teenage boy. Tony was sent to Father Joe for what Tony assumed was pennance after being caught in an adulterous act. Much to Tony's surprise, Father Joe welcomes Tony and treats him with loving, kindness and forgiveness. This treatment by father Joe leaves a lasting impression on Tony. This begins the start of a beautiful, long lasting relationship.
The story is entertaining, enlightening and a good read. I highly recommend it as a must read.
