Living Out the Questions A Jesuit Confession

This is the life-story of a noted Jesuit teacher-counselor-writer in passage from an American ghetto Catholicism to a Church more global and self-questioning. Probing his recurrent uncertainties, he revisits key faces first encountered in classes, kitchens, clinics, sickbeds, barracks, or lockups -- many loyal to a faith tradition other than his own, many averse to all religious labels. "Father Ruland interweaves accounts of amusing misadventure, of engagement with some extraordinary clients and students, and of his maturing spirituality, ever more open and pluralistic. In its wisdom and style of disclosure this autobiography shows proof that an honest examined life can be truly worth living."Ruland, Vernon is the author of 'Living Out the Questions A Jesuit Confession', published 2006 under ISBN 9780966405941 and ISBN 0966405943.
