FaustinaVianney Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I think another excellent book is 'When Gods Asks for an Undived Heart--choosing celibacy in love and freedom." It is by Fr Andrew Apostoli, CFR and Fr Groeschel wrote the forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 " A Priest Forever" is NOT a novel. It is a true story! BUT "AMATA MEANS BELOVED" is a novel about a Dominican Monastery. You can go to www.amatameansbeloved.8m.com for more information. It's written by a nun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
