Praise for Pilgrim River
-
Pilgrim River is a most unusual memoir of a most unusual life. It is unlike any conversion story I have read. The greatest power in its pages is the force of nature and nature’s God.
-
Pilgrim River is a rare memoir in its humility and candor... the spiritual remembrance comes across as being as much about God’s ways as about Garcia’s.
-
[Pilgrim River] begins with a great burst of visionary wisdom; it traces the uneven, ever-failing efforts of a man to live up to the goodness revealed to him.
-
Pilgrim River is truly a spiritual memoir for Catholic and non-Catholic readers... people with big questions about the existence of God, the possibility of miracles, and the intercession of saints should read this book.
-
“Best Book Published in Theology in 2012.”
-
Garcia makes the welcome, convincing, and counter-intuitive claim that academic freedom... includes the freedom to explore the unity of knowledge across disciplines and to ask questions that lead us toward the infinite and the ultimate, toward the divine.
