3. Mini Review of The Grace of Yes by Lisa Hendey

The Grace of Yes is a moving, inspiring, challenging and entertaining look at the virtues. I was especially touched by the personal experiences Hendey shares. It is beautifully written in conversational tone and is a book that can be read and reread over and over. While I loved the author’s other books, this one has become my favorite. Highly recommend!

Interesting interview with Fr. Paul Check, of Courage International at LifeSiteNews. FQP’s book, The Lion’s Heart, was published earlier this year and deals with same-sex attraction and is endorsed by Courage International.
