Vestments (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I've wanted to read this book for quite some time after seeing it on a shelf at the bookstore. I finally got around to doing just that, and I was not disappointed!!As many people know, I'm not a huge fan of religious books. But Vestments was different. Yes, it is about a priest but it also tells a powerful story about choices in life.I honestly wasn't expecting Jim (the priest) to make the choice that he did, but I think it was definitely the right one. He went with his heart instead of doing what most people probably would have wanted him to do. Fictional character aside, choosing between being a priest or being with the woman that you truly love can't be easy!!Excellent book!!!!! This book is a gem. I've read it twice. It's Jon Hassler's dysfunction on steroids. There are well crafted sentences and plenty of conflict. In addition there are brawny brawls and mind numbing spirits both in the confessional and at the bars. This novel spoke to me. The plotting and characterization are first rate. I attended a book talk by the author. I learned much about writing craft and the Catholic church.
