Life Lessons

About the Book

This book is the product of my blog Life’s Lessons. I am happy to share it with you. The reflections therein are not a product of an in-depth research into the problems of life. Neither are they an exhaustive treatise on the topics reflected upon. Great theologians and spiritual writers have dealt extensively and systematically on the problems of life. Having sat at their feet as a priest for twenty-five years, read, prayed, and reflected on the Holy Bible and had the opportunity to preach to the people of God during this period, I hereby offer my brief reflections on the lessons of life as I see it, gleaned from my experiences.
