Read an excerpt on grace.

In the midst of four careers, too many projects, and a crusade against pedophile priests in the Catholic church, bestselling writer and novelist Andrew M. Greeley bares his soul to God in a prayer journal covering 15 months. In this book he's always on the lookout for evidence of God's love in the grace notes of everyday life. Greeley's commentary on books, film, and popular culture is, as usual, thought-provoking. Seeing himself as an always busy Martha, the author asks God to teach him how not to care too much. This prayer journal is salty, enlightening, and straight from the heart.
