    About this audiobook

    Encompassing a variety of writing styles, Like a Rock in the Sea is a collection of short stories and essays which the author initially composed during his many years as a young American seminarian living abroad in countries as diverse as Spain, Italy, Germany, and Mexico. Including fictional tales, meaningful reflections, humorous descriptions and more, each piece in this compilation directly or indirectly reveals some of the thoughts and sentiments of a young, idealistic, future Catholic priest. As a whole, the book witnesses to the power and truth of the Christian faith, the surety of Christian hope, and the wonder and beauty of loving God and neighbor.
