This book is an honest and exciting description of a life that is filled with a surprising variety of experiences from farm boy to the Flannery Chair of Theology at Gonzaga University, Spokane, Washington. It is a vocation filled with one Christian's daily response to the Lord's call through the human authorities who play an important role in this life's journey. It's a journey that goes from the peace of the farm to Roosevelt's War, from the cloister to the seminary to a full-time engagement with the process of church renewal after the Second Vatican Council.
