I just finished The Thorny Grace of It by Brian Doyle, and really enjoyed it.
Doyle, who sadly died earlier this year after a battle with cancer, was a gifted essayist, and this collection of essays about being Catholic was not only well-written, but also rang true. He was devout, a committed Catholic, but was willing to address the reality of living out his faith, warts and all. He did so in a positive way, finding the light in even the darkest moments.
I want to find more of his work. I'm sorry that he died so young (60).
If you like short essays and a look at being a Catholic husband, father, and writer today, I recommend it.
Pax et bonum
