This book is written by James Kavanaugh. It is a book of beautiful poetry written by a Catholic Priest that gave up his church because of it's antiquated ways and the church refused to changed. The church relied on fear and guilt and as the times changed, the church did not. His poems are not only great, they can be very, very funny as well as serious. They are lifting because they make you laugh and laughing is the best key to good health I know. On Larry King, he was noted as being America's Poet Laureate. Great book to have around to change your low mood, by just reading a few of the poems at a time (however, you will end up reading them all.)
