Answering
God's Call And having one's life transformed (By
Fr. Thady Doyle)
A Book For All God's People
This book is in a
special way, me. Behind the book, there is my own
personal experience, my experience of great hurt,
emptiness and desolation as a teenager and young
adult, then my experience of being deeply touched
by Jesus, my experience of spiritual growth
amidst real personal struggles, and now my
experience of ongoing joy through the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit.
It also includes most of the spiritual
insights that I have learned along the way,
setting important teachings and truths in the
context of my own lived experience.
The book is written for all God’s
people, but since I am a priest myself, it has
even extra interest for priests. In it I share my
experiences of 25 years in the priesthood
including my experiences of celibacy. It also
includes a very brief history, (6 pages), of how
married priests in the early Church were expected
to live a brother - sister relationship with
their wives.
Do you tend to jump bits when
reading?
Then this book is for you! It is written
in 25 separate chapters each complete in itself.
One can get best value from this book by reading
just one chapter at a time.
If one comes to a chapter that one finds
too deep, one can leave it, until one is ready,
and move to the next chapter. But make sure that
you don’t miss the final chapter, “Growing in
the power”!
Much of the opening chapter can be seen

testimony - rescued by Jesus” Published in 1999,

 Real Love Is Still
Possible
(By Fr. Thady Doyle)
Rebecca,
a deeply committed Christian, was praying to meet
Mr. Right. In truth she wanted a marriage like
the wonderful marriage that her parents enjoyed,
and wasn't prepared to settle for anything less.
She wanted someone who would share her Christian
values and who could truly be her partner,
spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
But
the years have been creeping up. She is beginning
to fear being `left on the shelf', but she is
still determined not to compromise, preferring no
marriage to a substandard one.
Meanwhile
her younger sister, Rita, a spiritual person but
without Rebecca's strong views on love, wants to
rush into marriage to a gorgeous but somewhat
selfish hulk, named James.
Trying
to sort things out, Rebecca finds herself
spending two weeks with James' brother, John, who
hasn't been to Mass since he was Confirmed and
doesn't even know the Our Father. On top of that,
he has quite a sexual history, whereas she
believes in abstinence before marriage. Naturally
the sparks fly.
This
is a novel that, with the anointing of the Holy
Spirit, could transform a person's understanding
of both sexuality and marriage. While the main
story line is pure fiction, so many of the
experiences described in it are in fact the very
real experiences of very real people.
