Looking for a gift that won’t be forgotten or tossed away a few days after Christmas?
Or even if your Christmas shopping is all done (good job!) you might be looking for some answers to questions about your faith: questions that have long been on your mind questions that come up in conversation; questions for which you’d like to have a few good talking points to work with.
Fr. Dave O’Leary, a brother priest and good friend, has just published Twelve Tough Question and a Pastor’s Response (available on Amazon). In a dozen brief chapters (each 4-9 pages long), Fr. Dave responds to real questions from real people he has met in his ministry. And the answers are real as well: concise replies in accessible language, giving inquirers a good footing on which to base their own thinking and further reading.
What kind of tough issues does the author tackle? Questions ranging from Where Do Pets Go When They Die? -to- What’s the Church’s Opinion on Transgender Issues? And ten other questions (including a couple of church-state matters) that might very well come up at your dinner table on Christmas day!
If you or someone you know might benefit from a knowledgeable survey of some hot-button issues, then this is the book for you! Although the book is only 74 pages long, it’s probably too wide to stuff into a Christmas stocking – but far more valuable than other trinkets you might think of giving.
Do your family and friends (and yourself) a favor and order some copies of Twelve Tough Questions! It’s a gift that will stay with you well into the new year!
