Rev. Michael J. Novick publishes memoir about his ministry

A priest from the Archdiocese of Chicago, Rev. Michael J. Novick, shares his journey to the priesthood in “We Don’t Live in Eden (But We Can Once Again – Believe Me).” Published under Xlibris in 2014, the memoir was written over a long period of time and includes writings during the author’s time in seminary, plus journal entries and a dozen pages of original poetry.

Rev. Novick’s journey to the priesthood started when he was 28. Coming from a Catholic upbringing, raised in a family that had a special bond with the priests in their parish, and educated in Catholic schools, the priest acknowledges that these experiences influenced his life and formation. While working a warehouse job, he developed listening skills that would be necessary for his future vocation as a priest. He applied for seminary and years later was ordained by Francis Cardinal George.

Published to positive reviews from verified Amazon customers, “We Don’t Live in Eden (But We Can Once Again – Believe Me)” will appeal to lay Catholic readers, especially those indecisive about the priesthood as a career or profession.

Watch out for Rev. Michael J. Novick’s reflective memoir about his priestly ministry at The London Book Fair New Title Showcase on March 12-14, 2019 in London, UK.
