PROPHETS OF THE BETTER HOPE by Kerby, William J - 1937

Philadelphia: The Dolphin Press, 1937. "There are many books on the priesthood that are conventional, cast in a mould that is worn and lifeless. In this book, on the other hand, Monsignor Kirby offers a quite fresh presentation of a model priest's attitude toward that ideal in our American setting. Priests will get to know themselves better as they look on the pattern which Monsignor Kerby here so deftly fashions for their sake." 253 pp. Orange DJ is soiled with rubbed edges, but in Good condition.
