edit data

My writing efforts so far have been blogging at “Sober Catholic” (SoberCatholic.com since 2007!) and “Paul Sofranko Space” (PaulSofranko.net since 2012.)

While I focus on writing devotional booklets for Catholics who are affected by alcoholism and addictions, “Building a Civilization of Love: A Call to Creative Catholics,” branches out from that and is more akin to some of what I write at “Paul Sofranko Space.”

I am currently working on novels and shorter works in the speculative fiction genre ...more

Quotes by Paul Sofranko (?)

“An aspect of being receptive to God’s will for you is trust. In trusting that He who knows you better than you know yourself, you will be guided to where you need to go and He will provide for you what you need to have. Trusting that His will for you is the reason why He placed you on this Earth.”
― Paul Sofranko, The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts
