walk a mile in my shores: gripping real life stories is an adventure that takes the reader into the lives of others in order to better his own life
walk a mile in my shoes: gripping real life stories is about life and its meaning. The pages of this book carry some powerful lessons that can benefit the reader beyond any expectations. Father Pat has taken the fiction of the story and put unique messages in its place. He uses the story as a dynamic vehicle that can capture our attention, hold it and then allow us to savor the story in a realistic setting. What is even more, Father Pat shows us how to empower ourselves through earnest stories. This is a book about life and its slippery slope. It is also a book about challenge, daring and do. You will find characters within that you can sympathize with as well as characters you would like to call "friend". But more importantly, the stories are stepping-stones to a richer, more rewarding life.
Excerpt
A story is like a flower. It helps you remember. It helps you forget. You look at the flower closely and it makes you marvel at how minute and magical are its design and borders. You can capture a flower and ask that it dance lightly on your aching soul to make the pain go away. The flower will obey because flowers live to lighten your load, to distract by their scent and beauty, letting you move in total abandonment towards the direction of your choice.

Father Pat's book is one of the most dramatic and interesting books I have ever read. I go to college and have shown the book to some of my friends. They too read it and loved it. This is a book that teaches through real stories and the messages come across loud and clear. We have to thank Father Pat for not only being an excellent writer but also for his superb pedagogy. I highly recommend this book to old, young, tired and disillusioned whatever. You will come away from reading it a changed person. Believe me.
Warriors is your essential guide to reigniting your spiritual fire, deepening your connection with God, and breaking down the barriers that separate your loved ones from His divine purpose.
