I’m Honored to be the First Guest on 11th Season of “Catholics Come Home” on EWTN TV

My ever inquisitive brother wrote a delightfully unusual book
My brother always thought more deeply than the rest of us. He mulled over things that we took for granted. He took a very different path than I did, and learned a lot along the bends and curves in his unusual life.
But even knowing that, I never imagined all these philosophical, humorous, religious, biblical, political, and intellectual things were bouncing around in his head later in life. He managed to squeeze them all into this short little book, which draws you in, keeps you challenged, and makes you laugh.
He writes,
Using stories, old and new, to show the relevance of God in the 21st century, based on modern scientific evidence, in a simple and humorous style.”
Humorous indeed, with a bit of saucy irreverence. His chapter on “The Art of Stupidity” kept me laughing and was worth the price of the book.
My comments to future readers were:
The book is clever, contemporary, astute and insightful, wide-ranging, humorous, quirky, biblical and entertaining. It really should have a wide readership because it is a good book.
He self-published his book under the pseudonym Windchaser. It can be purchased HERE or with the QR Code below. For a $5.00 PDF copy, contact my brother at mailto:chasewind@mail2cool.com.
