A wonderful history and an insightful tale

Paul Hallett, a convert to the faith, gives us a moving story of the 50 years he spent in Catholic journalism. The book, however, tells far more than his story.It also tells the story of Catholicism in America and the creation of the National Catholic Register (a paper that once had a readership that numbered in the millions), and its growth under Monsignor Matthew Smith.Through Hallett's eyes we are able to see the positive and negative changes that have taken place in the Church, especially since the Second Vatican Council.As a National Catholic Register journalist myself I found this book extremely interesting. It holds great appeal for any Catholic journalist, and the average Catholic reader as well. It's a history worth reading.
