Brother Barney O. P.: An autobiographical Novel with a Difference- See Addendum: Sex, Love, Marriage, Nullity & Divorce- Including an Open Letter to Pope Benedict XVI - Softcover
An autobiographical novel with a difference! ... See ADDENDUM:'Sex, Love, Marriage, Nullity & Divorce' - including an Open Letter to Pope Benedict XVI. The Blackfriars of Mediaeval Europe! - in England since A.D. 1221 - and the latest member of the Order of Friars Preachers is young Joe Coyle- aka Brother Barnabas - just arrived from London with all his worldly possessions in a tin trunk. Barney is serious, intense, determined - but to his amazement he finds monastic life is fun - despite a freezing winter that lasts for a hundred days, life without women, and only a small drop of alcohol on major feast days. Despite the little sip of alcohol Bro. Barney's monastic life style could have a curiosity value in the minds of one and a half billion Muslims, bearing in mind a thousand years of what might be called 'ardent theological debate' between Muslim and Christian. A billion Catholics will certainly appreciate Brother Barney's life-forming experience, as will a further billion fellow Christians and some of earth's agnostics and atheists (a billion is the estimate) - who may find it difficult to avoid the temptation to take a peek - just to see what the hullaballoo is all about! This book could be a winner! - maybe even an 'International Best Seller' - (like every other book you pick up in an airport these days!) . Hmm
