Customer Reviews
The Penitent Priest
This was a story I could not put down, literally. Very well written with regard to the Catholic Church. I was holding my breath through the entire story to see what was coming next. A very good read and I am an avid reader.
The Penitent Priest
This is such an interesting story I couldn’t put it down and am looking forward to reading more about Father Tom. It’s a well written book about mystery, love, forgiveness and redemption. The characters are very believable and left me wondering what their stories are.
Church Memories
Being raised as a Catholic, this book brought back many forgotten memories and more understanding of the priesthood. A well written mystery, but the thought of Father Tom brought much more interest than the story itself.
