Stories from My Heart

This is one of the most beautiful books of John Powell, filled with personal stories from his busy and fruitful life. Indeed, he is a master storyteller. One can feel and move along with him in his little stories. Sixty-five of such fascinating stories make up this book and naturally they cover his entire life. It is these and similar stories that made him an endearing preacher. Most of them forced me to sit back, reflect and relate to my own stories. "What comes from the heart, touches the heart". Thank you, John for this wonderful gift.

I found John Powell's previous books most enlightening and enjoyable but this one especially captured my heart because I feel like I now know him as a person. He shared his experiences with their successes and those that seemed not so successful. I was deeply touched and cried when I read the last story, The Ninth Inning. Thank you Fr. John for all your stories and most of all for sharing your heart.
