“Anyone who has been led in any way to inquire, to search, to learn anew, to articulate faith based on Jesus and what he was ready to die for will treasure these pages....These pages will inspire, bring hope, and above all, renew faith in the person of Jesus."

- Michael Morwood,

Theologian and Faith Educator

“St. Francis said, ‘Preach the Gospel always, when necessary use words.’ Father Rento has done so through word and ministry. He channels Pope Francis by fostering kinship and connectedness to the people of God while bursting old wineskins of semblance, rote and rot. The Incarnation is still going on and is still bursting like fire crackers sending out great shoots of the Spirit in the church and Father Rento’s book shows the Spirit at work."

- David Gawlik,

Former editor of Corpus Reports
