During his 20 years as a parish priest, Father Pete Jankowski has faced his share of joys and struggles. Sharing these stories in the form of homilies, he encourages and educates his parishioners on a weekly basis. Now these Cycle A homilies have been compiled into Stories on the Journey.
Each of the homilies includes the designated Sunday title, as well as the scripture readings for that Sunday’s Mass in Cycle A. Father Pete expands on the Gospel readings each week, sharing stories of his own experiences as priest, as well as his interactions with parishioners. These homilies are warmly written and encouraging in style, sometimes challenging his listeners to respond to the words of Jesus and what He demands of us. But they’re also down-to-earth and meant for the average reader who doesn’t have a theology degree.
There are several typos in the text, and a good proofreading would have helped prior to publishing. But if the reader can overlook this small flaw, the messages in each homily are really enjoyable to read. I will adding be adding this book to my reading list during each Cycle A year. This is part of a planned four-volume series, which includes Cycles B & C, as well as special homilies. Father Pete will be donating proceeds from the sales of Stories on the Journey to benefit St. Patrick’s Church.

If you’d like to have your book reviewed, please contact us at the following email addresses with a synopsis of your book. Please use the subject header “Review Requested: Title of your book” so your request doesn’t go to our spam folder. Don’t send a file copy of your book as an attachment – it will not be read. We do not promote any crowd funding campaigns. We only review print books. No e-books or electronic copies of any kind will be considered.
We normally only respond if we’re accepting your book. Follow-ups can be made after two weeks to be sure we’ve received your email. If we don’t respond at that time, you can assume we’re not interested. Once we have agreed to review your book, we will provide a mailing address.
We are conservative Catholics and we don’t review books that include the promotion of “alternative lifestyles.” We are also pro-Trump and we’re very tired of being asked to review books that disparage our President. If you pitch anti-Trump books, we will request to be removed from your mailing list. NO exceptions!
