The fascinating stories of 17 men who studied to be Catholic priests during the turbulent 1960s and what happened to them after graduation. Required reading for anyone interested in the changes in the American Catholic Church over the last half century. Told uncensored, these tales offer personal insights into that formative decade, especially with regard to the impact of the Second Vatican Council.
Reader Glenn Petrosky says the following: "I found the book a powerful and emotional read on so many levels. The gentlemen who contributed to this book were of my generation. I could identify with, and understand the political, religious and societal events they struggled to understand and address during their adolescent and early adult lives, and the role seminary life played in forming life-lasting values and impressions. What aided my fascination with this book were the seventeen authors with their unique perspectives, stories and viewpoints. I strongly urge people to read this book to better understand their own values and those of the Catholic Church through the last forty years with its impact on society, faith, and beliefs. The book is both refreshing and therapeutic at the same time."
