While the Eyes of the Great Are Elsewhere
by William L. Biersach
Non-Fiction, Apologetics
This profound book of Catholic spirituality is a must-read for those who wish to breathe new life into their faith. William L. Biersach, author of the Father Baptist mystery series, demonstrates why the Church's teaching is practical and essential. What's more is that this book is a delight to read. Biersach addresses the mess that the Church is in, and convincingly instructs us how to be joyful in spite of t all. A modern classic!

In the words of Mr Biersach: "This little tome - or collection thereof-is intended as a word of encouragement for those Catholics who, against all odds, are attempting to hold on to their Faith for dear life, or perhaps trying to rediscover it in the midst of the rumbling chaos..."

And in the words of his good friend, Charles Coulombe: "Our fate . . . begins with our reply to that question asked of His disciples by Jesus Christ and continually referred to by Mr. Biersach in this book: "Who do you say that I am?" Mr. Biersach not only shows us in many ways how we must answer that question, but why we must. Moreover, he does so joyfully. The message he brings us is good news; there is a way out of this world of sin and shadows, and our eternity can be unparalleled bliss. That being so, Mr. Biersach bids us, as would his patron St. Phillip Neri, to begin the quest for Paradise with hope, with happiness, and with humor. Never, in this writer's admittedly short experience (a mere four decades), has his message been so timely and so needed."
