About this listen

This is the life story of Father Bob Maguire - a rare behind-the-scenes look at the much-loved 'people's priest'.

The enigmatic champion of the down-and-out was shaped by a lonely childhood in poor circumstances, an early priesthood that collided with the upheaval of Vatican II and working with the army during the Vietnam War.

This is a lively portrait of the man behind the resilient social activist and popular media performer who refuses to be defeated by enforced retirement from the parish over which he presided for nearly 40 years.

Well worth listening to, you learn a lot from this book. Most of all you learn about humanity, compassion and inclusiveness. Thanks Bob.
