More info about the book:

In the lonely walk through spiritual dryness when God seems so distant, a woman's voice is heard in the deep recesses of the soul of a struggling priest. She prods him to discover God and the meaning and purpose of life in the sacred silence of sanctuary. From that space in sanctuary, the veil is lifted to the ongoing drama of a mission that would ensure the reconciliation and peace of her children.

In A Mother's Plea, the pastor of a diverse parish in the inner city of Chicago recounts his journey to fulfill a call in the face of spiritual trials and elusive triumphs. Father Anthony Bus details how faith and trustful surrender sustain the hope that waits for what is unseen. This book is a must read for those on their own path to an authentic spiritual awakening.
