This book is the work of the many who loved him into writing and being. At least you can still get to know him."" --Donna Schaper, Principal, Bricks & Mortals ""Father Paul Mayer's life on this earth was a gift to all who value love and justice. Reading Wrestling with Angels is a way to learn about not just Paul's life but also about organized efforts in the twentieth century for peace, justice, and environmental protection and connection. It is a way to understand Paul's call for human beings to 'literally reinvent ourselves through the alchemy of the Spirit or perish, climb another rung on the evolutionary ladder, to another level of human consciousness.'"" --Ted Glick, author of Burglar for Peace ""Paul Mayer recounts decades of American history from a spiritual perspective, reminding us of the necessity of witnessing, speaking up, and defending the defenseless. It is fair to say that the blood of the prophets runs in his veins."" --Jacqueline Mosio, Writer, Editor" In this book, Father Paul collects and completes the story of a powerful and godly life.
