"This runaway New York Times best-seller is a book to savor and treasure. Author Tony Hendra, a National Lampoon and Spy magazine veteran and one of the world's greatest satirists, delivers a beautifully written, humorous, and profoundly moving memoir reminiscent of Tuesday with Morrie. At 14 years old, Tony began an affair with a married woman that ended when the jilted husband, a devout Roman Catholic, sent Tony to a Benedictine abbey. There, Tony met the remarkably kind and compassionate Father Joe. For the next four decades, Father Joe's guidance never faltered, even as Tony failed in marriage, fought substance abuse, and struggled to find meaning. The New York Times says Father Joe "belongs in the first tier of spiritual memeoirs ever written." It is a wondrous celebration of a saintly man, and it is imposible to forget, especially as narrated by the author himself. "Like me, you might cherish this book so much that you'll keep it on the shelf beside Saint Augustine [and] Saint Teresa of Avila..."---Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes" (from backcover)
