Book Description
Now a New York Times bestselling author, Nadia Bolz-Weber takes no prisoners as she reclaims the term "pastrix"(pronounced "pas-triks," a term used by some Christians who refuse to recognize female pastors) in her messy, beautiful, prayer-and-profanity laden narrative about an unconventional life of faith. Heavily tattooed and loud-mouthed, Nadia, a former stand-up comic, sure as hell didn't consider herself to be religious leader material—until the day she ended up leading a friend's funeral in a smoky downtown comedy club. Surrounded by fellow alcoholics, depressives, and cynics, she realized: These were her people. Maybe she was meant to be their pastor. Using life stories—from living in a hopeful-but-haggard commune of slackers and her unusual but undeniable spiritual calling to her experiences pastoring people from all walks of life—and poignant honesty, Nadia portrays a woman who is both deeply faithful and deeply flawed, giving hope to the rest of us along the way. Wildly entertaining and deeply resonant, this is the book for people who hunger for a bit of hope that doesn't come from vapid consumerism; for women who talk too loud and guys who love chick flicks; and for the gay person who loves Jesus and won't be shunned by the church. In short, this book is for every misfit suspicious of institutionalized religion but who is still seeking transcendence and mystery.

Book Description
A Saint and a Sinner is the revealing true story of the rise and fall of a beloved Catholic priest; a hopeful story of a flawed man and his redemption. With a dominant presence and larger-than-life persona, ex-priest Stephen Donnelly, shares a brutally honest account of his personal journey of sinfulness; a cautionary tale of the struggle between good and evil that exists within all of us. Step behind the curtain of the mighty and mysterious Catholic Church as Stephen recounts his relationship with God, the faithful, the institution, bishops and accused pedophile priestsIn 1997, at the age of forty-two, Stephen was ordained a Roman Catholic priest. Standing before God, the bishop, his family and the congregation he made promises he struggled to keep. Three years into his priesthood he descended into a world of cocaine and alcohol abuse. After fellow priests intervened and after multiple stays in rehab, Stephen turned his life around and became well-known in Alcoholics Anonymous circles as the "Irish priest with a problem."During his seven years as Associate Pastor at St. Patrick's Church, Huntington, New York he was known among parishioners as a "rock star." They were among the best years of his life. He was Stephen; the man, the Catholic and the priest at his absolute best.But, in 2017, while assigned to a new parish, the unthinkable happened which threatened to destroy everything he held dear.
