nA beautifully written tale of spiritual growth.--James Martin, SJ, author of the New York Times bestsellers Jesus: A Pilgrimage and Learning to Pray n nNot every Catholic mother wants her son to be a priest.n n nThe true story of a young mans journey to become a Jesuit priest--written by his mother, a fallen-away Catholic who must come to terms with her sons decision or risk losing him. It is an intimate, sometimes irreverent, and often searing examination of faith, family, and reconciliation.n n nYou send your son off to college and you think that in a few years you might get a call, and hell announce that he has someone hes bringing home, someone he wants you to meet. But then that someone turns out to be a recruiter hawking a lifetime of poverty, chastity and obedience. What college kid in his right mind would sign up for that?n n nThe book offers a rare, often entertaining, glimpse into the highly unusual Jesuit formation process--which includes sending would-be priests off on pilgrimages with $35 in their pockets. It also takes on tough issues, from the churchs history of sexual abuse to its treatment of women, and asks tough questions: Is it possible to be Catholic, liberal, and a feminist all at the same time? What does it mean to call yourself a Catholic?n
