Paperback. Condition: Good. Priests, the Guise and the Guys Behind the Collar captures the diverse personalities of over twenty Catholic priests in a novel born out of the experiences and perceptions of Monsignor Gaston A. Hebert over his 54 years in the priesthood. During that time he served as a teacher, pastor, vicar general, and diocesan administrator in the Diocese of Little Rock. By his realistic portrayal of priests sans halos or horns, he conveys insight into the joys and sorrows, challenges and temptations, successes and failures found in every priest's life. As the priests struggle through their own character flaws, they also combat the changes in the Church and in society from 1960 to the present. Situations evolve encompassing the seven major vices; racial, ethnic, and religious prejudice; addiction; abortion; sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, pedophilia, incest; the Vietnam War and clericalism, within the historical context of the period. To describe the novel as Christian fiction might be misleading as it is not saccharin and is rarely didactic, seeking rather to portray the clergy as real men, tempted and flawed like all humanity, but driven to serve God. It is unlikely the reader could complete the novel without recognizing both the good and bad character traits of priests and ministers he may have known, as well as his own. The author holds degrees in philosophy and English; taught English and Drama for 15 years at Catholic High School in Little Rock, Arkansas; was was pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Church in Pocahontas, Arkansas, for 6 years; was pastor of the then largest parish in Arkansas, Christ the King Church, in Little Rock, for 20 years; was vicar general from 1988 to 2006, and then became the administrator of the diocese for two years. He was named a protonotary apostolic by Pope Benedict XVI in 2008. He published The Faux Bishop's Gems in 2009, based on a series of his essays previously published in The Arkansas Catholic, a weekly periodical. He remains a priest in good standing of the Diocese of Little Rock, but has retired to Albuquerque, New Mexico.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From Giller-nominated author Bill Gaston, proof not only that hockey players can read, but that some of them can even write. Midnight Hockey tells the story of Gaston's final season, as he contemplates hanging up his skates, and looks back on the sport that has meant so much to him. Sometimes lewd and hilarious, sometimes (though not as often) reflective, Midnight Hockey is a portrait of Canada's fastest-growing athletic phenomenon: beer-league and oldtimers' hockey. Gaston spills the beans about the rules of the game (written and unwritten), weird beer, team names, and road-trip sex, illustrated with stories of Gaston's life in the game, from the outdoor rinks of Winnipeg, through junior hockey, varsity, the professional leagues of Europe, to the late-night games and road-trip shenanigans of beer-league. For all those thousands of guys who drive to the rink late on a snowy night, who know the euphoria of a beer after the game, who think of how good they used to be, who grow nostalgic over a whiff from an unwashed hockey bag - and for anyone who has had to live with such a person - Midnight Hockey is laugh-out-loud funny, true-to-life, and ultimately thoughtful.
