Blake Nelson

Diary of a Young Jesuit

History & Biography

“Sincere, vulnerable, searching, and written in a tone reminiscent of James Joyce in his A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, the author details not only his personal history, set against the background of the societal upheavals of the 1960s, but also his immersion in the exquisite classical education and challenging ministries of his early years in the Society of Jesus.”
