Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this clumsy memoir, former Roman Catholic priest La Coste tells of his dalliance with a motorcycle gang at an indeterminate time. Shortly before his ordination, the author crossed paths with Mickey Manuel, a family friend who was running with the Renegades, a group of New Orleans bikers. Soon La Coste, by then a priest, was riding a Harley-Davidson with the Renegades and providing the bikers with spiritual guidance. While keeping his self-imposed mission secret from his colleagues and parishioners, La Coste bumbled through one misadventure after another, experiences that he recounts here with little insight. A growing attraction between La Coste and Mickey's wife Cheryl was not consummated, but led the priest to question his commitment to celibacy. Eventually he left the Renegades and then the priesthood, becoming a salesman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written, highly informative, and deeply poignant., July 27, 2000

This review is from: Holy Rider (Hardcover)
This book shows what light a man of God can bring to a darkened world. Warren La Coste's bare all book about his involvement with and influence on a New Orleans biker gang is truly inspirational and eye-opening. And while there are many Hanks, Freddies, and Cheryls of the world sadly enough there are many Bills and Mickey Manuel's too, but thank heavens for a person who reached out to this group by looking into their souls, instead of looking at them with disdain by looking at their appearance.

This book was a real page turner and hard to put down. I would highly recommend this book for anyone, especially for the person who asks, "What can one person do?"
