First let me say that I know the author Fr. Cherian to be one of the holiest persons I have ever known. Having read his memoir now I believe he is one of the most interesting persons I have ever known. This book is the story of his pursuit to become ordained to the ministry and the most interesting life that he lived along the way. It is not a fast read but it is a good read. Well done, Fr. Cherian!
