Holy Ghosts: Or, How a (Not So) Good Catholic Boy Became a Believer in Things That Go Bump in the Night
"Holy Ghoststook me into a completely convincing but very different version of reality from the one we live in. It serves as a forceful and fascinating reminder that we do not see the world that is, but only the part we have chosen to see. There are dangers and wonders in the dark, andHoly Ghostsaffirms that they are very real."-Whitley Strieber, author ofCommunionandThe Omega Point"I have always believed in ghosts, paranormal phenomena, and miracles. But I've never read a book that tells of chills and ghosts in the house from a Catholic perspective. I read the book in a sitting. There are more than a few spine- tingling scares here, offered in such a benign, even life-affirming way, that we end up enlightened, entertained, and charmed."-Beverly Donofrio, author ofLooking for MaryandRiding in Cars with Boys"Gary Jansen will both creep you out and educate you on the nature of 'earthbound spirits.' His tale of the spirits haunting his family home, and of helping them cross over to the next world, is a thrilling treat that I couldn't put down. Jansen tells the best kind of ghost story-the true kind!"-Julia Scheeres, author ofJesus Land"Gary Jansen'sHoly Ghostsis a haunting memoir of both the paranormal and the heartbreakingly down-to-earth. By turns scholarly, comic, and creepy, Jansen shows us the ghosts in his house as well as his heart.  Spellbinding and wise, this trip to the supernatural eventually returns us home, providing a deeper understanding of our faith, our fears, and the people we love."-Jennifer Finney Boylan, author ofShe's Not ThereandFalcon Quinn and the Black Mirror--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
