Andrew Krivak's memoir about his eight-year journey toward becoming a Jesuit priest is an illuminating story about one person's determination to understand his destiny. He learns that making a proper discernment in such matters happens not in moments of peaceful pondering, but by making decisions along the chaotic way.

A debut novel with a captivating narrator

"The Sojourn" is a new novel published by Bellevue Literary Press. It's beautifully written in first-person prose -- a World War I story and also a coming of age story that's profoundly moving and filled with hope.

The Longest Chapter is written by Kassie Rose, book critic for Ohio NPR member station WOSU.

Tune in to All Sides Weekend Books, aired on Ohio NPR member station WOSU where I recommend great books to read. This includes books that don't get enough media attention, the good stories readers struggle to find.
