From Publishers Weekly

For Finley, a freelance journalist in Washington state, his Catholic schooling, while not free of dissatisfactions, was the basis of an adventure in faith that, begun in 1953 in the Pacific Northwest, continues to the present. Describing his journey through Catholic education from grade school to graduate school, he states, "The main thing I received from the Catholic school environment--and the same is true for my children today--was a sensitivity or receptivity to the presence of the Divine Mystery in anything and everything." Interspersed with his personal story are brief historical and theological explorations of such subjects as Marianism and the existence of angels. His apologia for parochial schools is laced with humor and insights that (despite his references to his wife as "good spouse") add up to an appealing account of an ongoing spiritual pilgrimage. Finley is a four-time Catholic Press Award winner.
