Book Overview

Paul Wilkes has been a writer/journalist, a TV producer, a monastic, a hedonist, a friend of the famous, a family man, and ultimately a true prodigal son. With In Due Season, Wilkes, one of America's most respected writers on religious belief and spirituality, details his search for God--from his working class upbringing in Cleveland to giving up everything he owned and living with the poor to his hedonistic life among the rich and famous. Wilkes's inspiring life story is one of abysmal failure and ultimate triumph, of a faith in God, battered and tried in the crucible of his experience.

I could really identify with his growing up Catholic views!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago

I could totally identify with this author as we both came from blue collar working large families and also attended Marquette University working our way through college. A beautifully written and honest appraisal of Catholicism and how it has affected his life.

Great seller

Received the book in a timely manner and it was in great condition. I would buy from this seller again.

Right up there with Merton

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

I started reading this book one evening and could not put it down. Needless to say, I was up all night reading. Having read most of Thomas Merton's writings I find this certainly as thought provoking. I ordered this book after reading a preview. I am so glad I went ahead and ordered. It is outstanding.
