Larry Tomczak relates his quest for success in the world, his encounter with a real Christian faith and renewed interest in the church of his youth, the Roman Catholic Church. Although Larry's narrative is specifically applicable to Baby Boomers all catholics can relate to the events in his life, his disenchantment and rejection of the Church and his surprising return. Tomczak's book is refreshing in the minimal evidence of Catholic bashing and his candid assesment of his own life and actions. A must reading for Catholics looking for more than just Mass on Sunday. (For more in this vein read "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell.)

This is an old book but it is funny and inspirational. I bought all I could for gifts. I guess it is out of print, now.

I borrowed this book from a friend and read it many years ago aloud to my husband when we were on a road trip. It was so funny in spots that I couldn't read it without laughing until the tears rolled down my face. It is both funny and inspirational. I plan to read my copy to residents of a nursing home where my 95 year old mother is living; I know she and others will enjoy hearing the antics of Jamie Buckingham. He wrote a number of inspirational books before his death and they all make you think and grow spiritually. Thank you Amazon for locating this out-of-print publication.

This book describes almost identically my Catholic upbringing. Any Catholic will identify with this book as far the rituals (legalism) or bondage found in the church. I grew up without a bible (we were not allowed to read one), and had to take the priest's word as God's word. The Catholic Church never preached "salvation" per se and how critical it is to be "born again." This book explains the gaps in the church that have driven away members when they find the real "truth."

inspirational Iwas a catholic as Achild Ireally tj=hik every catholic should read this book. I has not cahsned since the 60's. Thank you I will order more for my friends in the future . Blessings
lORD BLESS YOU lARRY tOMCZAK
