True to life!

As a product of many years of seminary training, beginning in high school, I could see it all come back in living color with this book. Isn't it sad that so many men enter and so many good men leave, with many referring to the years of training leading up to priesthood as "hell" and "something you just have to get through". This book captures the truth of that feeling, without sermonizing or trying to teach life lessons. ^M

A Real Catholic Blessing

I was quite impressed with THE COLLAR by first time author Jonathan Englert. It's a potent mix of solid research and great writing that really gets the reader inside the mind of today's seminarian. I wouldn't be surprised if this book launches more than a few vocations.^M
