Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh - A Short Summary and Review

The Diary of a Country Priest - Georges Bernanos - A Short Summary and Review


A short summary of The Diary of a Country Priest:

A country parish helps a priest's journey toward humility.

My favorite Georges Bernanos quote from the book:

"The wish to pray is a prayer in itself."




 Questions to ponder while reading:

Do your expectations meet reality?

Are you awkward?

My review of the book:

Touching story about the challenges of service.

I felt so much sympathy for the priest.

I wonder if I could have continued with such grace.
