“Peace is love, dear, and love peace. Peace is the certainty that you are never alone.”- Father Joe

Throughout my trials and tribulations I have committed my life to God and relying on Him completely surrendering my entire being to His Control and Wisdom and Grace. What I learned from this quote was that peace comes to me from absolvement and mercy. Absolvement from sin and mercy for forgiveness of anger and hurtful feelings that I feel. To be more Christ-like and forgiving and trust Him because God forgives and that no matter what I am never alone to fight my battles. He is fighting them for me as I fight through prayer, musick and poetry. Peace comes from surrendering your entire being to God. Surrendering your entire being to God comes from realizing that I am imperfect and I make mistakes but God loves me as His Own and sees me as a human being worth of love and His Care. It also means realizing that only God is perfect and I need to atop worrying over the past and move on to the future God has for me knowing that the obstacles I face now are lessons in disguise that will propel me to success later on down the line. And that I should bless others as God as blessed me with the gifts He gave me.… (más)

Loved Father Joe, a gentle soul full of wit and wisdom. Too bad I can't say the same for the author. He was unlikable and it ruined the story of Father Joe. Father Joe deserved better.

This book was worth reading and gets at the big questions about life, the journey of life. What is it that brings truth, beauty and goodness into our lives? What keeps these qualities at bay? What aspects of our lives must be thrown off or changed; what must be added to open one’s life or soul to truth, goodness and beauty? Life has a way of happening to us as much as we make it happen to life. How do we know what to change, let alone, how to change it? This book is the story of a soul who wants real life – something authentic and not a mere copy of some other life. It's about finding one's identity and destiny. The story tells of a seeker who along the way happens to find the consummate guide without knowing it. The guide is one who sustains and guides without doing so directly. Love powers and sustains what's good in the story – and opens the soul to receive the guidance. It shows how faith works over the long term. The story is about the guide as much as it is about the one being guided. So - therein is the intrigue of the book: one flawed human being, the seeker, juxtaposed to the true guide who is himself, truth, goodness and beauty – and love. This book gives us a true picture of love - what it looks like, how it is virtuously manifested as well as its diabolical opposites. The question also posed in the book is whether anyone can come to have a life of truth, goodness, beauty and love irrespective of their past or where they are presently in life.… (más)

It was amusing, but like most books of this sort, it got old after a while. It was interesting to skim through & hit a lot of the obvious contradictions in the Bible plus some lesser known ones that I had to look up. The humor was OK, but I find humor in most books to be too heavy & this was no exception.
