This new book shares the joy, humor, surprises, grief, and messiness when God invites us to strip away the personas of “perfect priest” or “perfect Christian” and rediscover what is sacred and genuine about ourselves and our faith. Priests and writers Brock and Koppel relate common and unique experiences here, as we join them on a sometimes startling journey of faith.

Laced with wit, revelation, and self-discovery, the new book is organized in three parts:

Life—the dirtiness of failure, frustration, and struggle when what seemed fine falls apart

Death—the frailty behind our personas

Resurrection—new life with lessons learned
