Most spiritual memoirs are written by religious professionals. The American Catholic Experience series is an innovative new collection of books exploring the stories of individual Catholics in the United States as they reflect on what it has meant as Catholic laity to live out their faith amidst the joys and challenges of their daily lives'on their jobs, with their families and friends, and in their communities and churches. The Spiritual Apprenticeship of a Curious Catholic considers how each encounter and event in our lives acts as a mentor in our attempts to master faithful living. Sometimes humorous, such as confessing a sin of adultery at his first confession in second grade; sometimes poignantly memorable, such as praying over a sick migrant worker's child; and sometimes provocative, such as covering a rally by the American Nazi Party in Skokie, Illinois'this book will delight, challenge and inspire readers of all ages and faiths.
