While the Eyes of the Great are Elsewhere

by William L. Biersach

In the words of Mr "This little tome - or collection thereof-is intended as a word of encouragement for those Catholics who, against all odds, are attempting to hold on to their Faith for dear life, or perhaps trying to rediscover it in the midst of the rumbling chaos... " And in the words of his good friend, Charles "Our fate . . . begins with our reply to that question asked of His disciples by Jesus Christ and continually referred to by Mr. Biersach in this "Who do you say that I am?" Mr. Biersach not only shows us in many ways how we must answer that question, but why we must. Moreover, he does so joyfully. The message he brings us is good news; there is a way out of this world of sin and shadows, and our eternity can be unparalleled bliss. That being so, Mr. Biersach bids us, as would his patron St. Phillip Neri, to begin the quest for Paradise with hope, with happiness, and with humor. Never, in this writer's admittedly short experience (a mere four decades), has his message been so timely and so needed."

Even though this apologetics book was written some years ago, the topics are still relevant today, if not more so. Mr. Biersach writes in a compelling way about the Roman Catholic Church. It's an easy-to-read book that anyone can understand. The style is conversational and humorous while dealing with serious topics. This is a book for anyone searching for the Truth. It's filled with quotes from reliable sources and refers to other books that you will want to read, also. I highly recommend this book!

I wish I could give it 6 stars... A real review is coming soon.

Update...

It's like 3 (even 4!) books in one. If you love conversion stories, if you love Mary, if you love the TLM, you will probably love this book.

Some parts were very funny, some parts were deadly serious/intense.

You'll either love it or hate it. I've already started reading again.

I read it on my Kindle. The Kindle formatting was okay, footnotes were hyperlinked but no table of contents.
