The Good Enough Catholic by Paul Wilkes

The Good Enough Catholic by Paul Wilkes

Many Catholics face a dilemma: how can one be faithful to traditions, yet remain open to new discoveries, both about yourself and Catholicism?

In The Good Enough Catholic, Paul Wilkes plumbs the hunger in Catholic souls for a relationship with God and a spiritual life, and boldly confronts the controversial issue of Church authority. After each chapter, there is an invitation to put into practice what has been explored through a rich mixture of doctrine, history, current thinking, and the personal experiences of "good enough" Catholics across America.

With this book, Wilkes beckons us to look to the essence of our religion for the guidance and strength to live lives filled with spiritual transcendence.

Paul Wilkes is a well-known American writer, speaker, and filmmaker who focuses on religion, particularly Roman Catholicism and its monastic history. Wilkes has contributed to publications such as the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and the Atlantic Monthly. In Strange Ways: The Death and Life of a Parish Priest, which he wrote, received a Christopher Award. Paul was the host and writer of the acclaimed television series Six American Families, which earned a duPont-Columbia award for documentary excellence, in addition to Merton, his PBS documentary.
