DESCRIPTION:
Endearing Escapades! Joyce Joseph I enjoyed "Growing Up With Guilt" immensely! It's not only wonderful tales of how a boy who loves to talk finds himself in a cloistered seminary ensuring his mother's place in heaven, but also the thought-provoking story of the author's religious journey.
In the process, he challenges the reader to reexamine some of the issues that are raised.. But there is a serious message in this book as well. In it, the author highlights his struggles to understand and accept the man-made laws of the Church and describes some major decisions he has made in his life. The author uses humor and pokes fun at himself while describing his experiences. Growing Up with Guilt is a tongue-in-cheek autobiography that explores the author's experiences from the earliest years, through Catholic elementary and high schools, the seminary and beyond
