A Witness to the Faithful Life 25 Nov 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a year's journal of the experiences of an inner-city Roman Catholic parish priest. MacNamee writes of profound experiences with a style of deceptive sparseness. Read it slowly. Absorb the rich spirituality that the author reveals in his faithful day-to-day ministry among the very poor. A wonderful book!

An Experience. 15 Mar 2009

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Father McNamee takes his readers on a journey in this text. I hightly recommend reading this volume for anyone interested in Philadelphia, truth, or uncertainty . . . very contrasted topics, but all are handled beautifully in this book.

An Inspirational Read 29 Dec 2010
By Christopher W. Cox - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Sparse" is a good word to describe McNamee's writing here. Looking over the devastation of human lives that litter our inner cities, McNamee tells of the pain and loss, but he also sees hope. To this hope, in the midst of a daily grind, does he cling. This hope embraces the pain and loss that he sees daily and allows him to continue to minister effectively. Immersed in classical Catholic mysticism and spirituality since his seminary days, I love his phrase: "One must be a contemplative to work in the inner-city." This is a great book about committing to a difficult place for the long haul. I'd love to meet McNamee one day; he seems a real fine priest.
