Francis, Repair My Church

History & Biography

“John Raub and I served together as priests in the Diocese of Youngstown. As friends, we shared the joys and sorrows of our work and were very enthusiastic about Vatican II. I feel this book reflects the wisdom gained and the joy experienced by John as a priest, a monk, and a husband. It is a story of deaths and resurrections in the church and in himself as he lived them over the last eighty years. This book reveals John's love for the church, for God, and his sense of religious life as one of service and happiness, which is exemplified by Pope Francis. It is reflective, enjoyable, and fun to read.”
