Grace Notes

Brian Doyle, the editor of the award-winning Portland Magazine, has written a bestselling and critically acclaimed collection of stories about discovering the incarnated Spirit of God every time he turns around, often in the most unlikely of people, places, and things.

In this new two-Cd set, Chicago actor Frank Gaughan reads 15 of these stories, which capture the spiritual essence of everyday life from the perspective of a committed Catholic who loves this faith, his family, his community, and his church, even with all their warts and failings. (Hence the beautiful Argentine tree frog that graces the cover.) Be prepared to take a beautiful, breathtaking, tear-jerking ride on some of the most accomplished, outside-the-box stories you've ever heard.
