Cheese Stands Alone — David Craig

With the secular culture falling down all around him, James Bailey's not-so-wonderful-life is spinning out of control. Where can he turn? How can he go?
David Craig takes us on an exhilarating cab ride, side-swiping transcendentalism, Blythesdale, and Margaret Fuller in the process. And in doing so, he manages to turn the "search for father" motif in American letters on its head. This is a search for the Holy Mother.
It's a rare book that is both monastic and charismatic-anyone acquainted with the latter will love the chapter on misguided zeal, aptly titled "Busbey Burkeley." And there is no preaching to the choir in this thoroughly Catholic book. You will be drawn in, challenged, sung to. Enjoy.
