Surprised by Grace. A Spiritual Journey from West to East and Back

By Kevin P. Joyce

“In the spirit of Thomas Merton’s Seven Storey Mountain, Fr. Kevin Joyce’s new book 'Surprised by Grace' entices spiritual seekers, non-believers and even skeptics to 'gamble on God.'"
— Anthony Lilles

October 15, 2024, Kevin Patrick Joyce’s new book Surprised by Grace. A Spiritual Journey from West to East and Back offers an adventurous story alongside a fascinating introduction to the spiritual depth of the Christian tradition. “After leaving family and friends in his youth, this lover of old classic cars initiates the reader into a world of Yoga and Zen, the romance of Mexico, and the contemplative roots of Christian Europe. An epic adventure dancing with the beauty of marriage, the draw of celibacy, the call to ministry, and those voids that only Christ can fill.” [Anthony Lilles, Author of Fire from Above: Contemplation and Mystical Wisdom]
