The subject of this book is, in Fr. Colum's own words, "holiness in the domestic battle," that age-old struggle to uphold the sacred amidst the secular.

At the center of his wisdom on the topic is his gifted ability to turn life experience into meaningful story. As the fifth of nine boys to loving "spiritual warrior" parents, as a novice in the religious life steeped in the teachings of the great spiritual masters, and as a priest who formed trusted friendships with many young people, he has been a witness to many souls searching for truth and beauty in the divine. His aptitude for absorbing life's moments and sharing them in witty and wise stories sets him apart as an extraordinary bestower of sage advice.

Not only will his words propel you forth in your upward journey, but so will his example as a perceptive Christian who never fails to see God's hand in all moments of life.

Testimonials for PREORDER - The Upward Arrow

I love Fr. Colum! Of the dozens of priests whom I've known over the years, there are few I love more. There are many reasons for this. One is his ability to spin a good yarn, or what he might call the gift of the blarney or the gift of the gab. Another is his gift as a very fine writer of poetic prose. Yet another is his lived love for the Lord. All three of these things that I love about Fr. Colum are present in this book. I can think of no better reason to read it and learn from it, not least because it will help us to live the love for the Lord.
