In this land of tobacco farming, bluegrass music, and devout fundamentalist Christianity, he is compelled to explain and justify the Catholic faith. His only defense, the Bible. Join Michael on an Amish-style farmstead as he learns to milk a cow, harness a horse, disk a field, and harvest hay with a team instead of a tractor. Will he discover the truth about the papacy, the Eucharist, and devotion to Mary in Sacred Scripture? https://www.lilyfieldpress.com/books/studyguideaphiladelphiacatholic monthly 0.5 2021-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb9a31ca29f7914ed51b5f2/1623513886625-XUU41ND5LGJ2RGCSWEOI/study+guide+front+cover+v2-01.jpg Books - Study Guide - A Philadelphia Catholic in King James's Court This guide contains a series of questions for each chapter of A Philadelphia Catholic in King James’s Court.

He represents a gritty section of Philadelphia that hugs the Schuylkill River. Voters appreciate that he’s a solid family man. Colleagues in Harrisburg admire his skill and tenacity. Even those who’ve felt his sting don’t question his integrity. He’s intelligent, personable, and ambitious—a combination sufficient to catapult him into higher office. That is, until he’s enmeshed in a police investigation involving Terrence Gilmore, a black teen and nephew of a powerful city councilman. Then, rumors swirl about his relationship with Nicki Flynn, a young paralegal with dangling earrings, uncertain loyalties, and a secret she can’t contain. These looming scandals threaten Ryan’s career, reputation, and marriage. He’s a scrappy fighter, but the adversary is elusive. Or is the real enemy within? Bold, probing, and entertaining, Manayunk is the story of a good man under siege, whose torment is intensified by his own moral failings. His quest to uncover meaning in his suffering and to grow from it will inspire and delight you. https://www.lilyfieldpress.com/books/yearofmyhumiliation monthly 0.5 2025-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb9a31ca29f7914ed51b5f2/d2a9da74-486f-4720-a94d-9e3e6e032deb/YOMH_FRONT_COVER_DIGITAL_JPG.jpg Books - The Year of My Humiliation Pride goes before a fall—but what comes after? Michael, an arrogant pediatric plastic surgeon, believes he controls his own life and his wife Rosie’s, until the discovery of Rosie’s duplicity punctures his self-importance and leads to tragedy. Consumed by remorse, he begins journaling his attempts at reparation, beginning with small, humbling acts—like making his wife’s morning tea. But proving he’s emotionally fit to wield a scalpel again demands more than trivial self-abasement. Under the scrutiny of a hospital psychiatrist with unorthodox methods, Michael’s carefully constructed justifications crumble, exposing the raw truth he’s desperate to avoid. Struggling to repair the damage only deepens his humiliation. And the one person who might pave the way to his redemption – his son, “the Jackass” – hasn’t spoken to him in years. And he has no intention of starting now… “The Year of My Humiliation” resonates as a tale of psychological and spiritual battles against family, God, and self – delivering a riveting, thought-provoking examination of the human heart and the life-changing power of forgiveness.
