BIG NEWS! My eBook and paperback, Go Your Way: Stories from Our Lives of Faith, will be out on Amazon on Easter Monday (April 10). The book is the collection of my three fiction stories, including the brand new story, Bigger than Ourselves, which follows several people through short stories within a parish. For now, I wanted to offer the narration of a Stations of the Cross I wrote a few years back. At each station, you hear from someone who encountered Jesus during his life and ministry. I hope these theoretical reflections from the Way of the Cross can help you pray and reflect this Lent. Pre-orders of the Kindle eBook are open, and the paperback releases on April 10! Visit Amazon to check it out, and get full info at my book site. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
