Fr. Michael Brisson

Blue Miles

Fiction

“In his cleverly structured novel, Fr. Thomas Esposito, O.Cist., invites us into the cloister with humble frankness, capturing the triumphs and foibles of monastic life. Through the affable Padre Samuel, we see living proof that God does not call the perfect, but perfects the called. I finished this delightful novel feeling both edified and inspired—as will every reader who picks it up.”

Letter to the Future

Fiction

“A haunting vision of societal collapse, yet with rays of hope shining on every page. O'Brien weaves a tale of faith under fire, where noble characters cling to their deepest beliefs despite overwhelming opposition. Readers troubled by the direction of the world—especially the increasing marginalization of faith—will find solace and inspiration in this story of courage, providence, and the letting go of human securities to grasp onto the only security that matters.”
