Overview

Food for the Soul is a work of theology that sheds light on the history of Catholicism while discussing important issues facing the Church and our society today. Through a series of biographical plays, author Alex LaPerchia tells the stories of a variety of influential Catholic figures: the twentieth century popes who served as “beacons of light” during the Holocaust; Venerable Louis of Granada, a renowned Dominican monk considered a “theologian for the laity”; Blessed Margaret of Castello, who overcame disability and adversity to devote her life to serving others; and Saint John Vianney, recognized by the Catholic Church as the patron saint of all parish priests. LaPerchia also explores his personal history as a Catholic and shares how God reveals Himself though all faiths.

Reviews

Readers are in for an enthralling history lesson on Catholicism and a word of caution from author Alex LaPerchia in his latest book, Food For The Soul...What is different about Food For The Soul is that the author explores the lives of several major influential Catholic figures through a dramatic and creative approach rather than just a straight historical narrative...LaPerchia's narrative style and the book's format and variety help make Food For The Soul an entertaining and educational read and takes the reader on a spiritual journey that will help them find meaning and relevance in this world while preparing them for the world to come.
