Lost in the World, Found in Christ is an account of how a merciful God brought me from boyhood, in exile from His Loving Presence, to the joy of being a priest in the Roman Catholic Church--at age 63. My objective is to inspire other older men to consider the priesthood, no matter what lies in their past lives and no matter how hard the struggle. This is a wonderful book for anyone discerning a late vocation.

Inspired writing by a gifted new Author. This story shows us the gifts given to Simon through the carrying of the Cross with Jesus, and the gifts we can expect by carrying our daily crosses. The nail -- Mother Mary's first gift to Simon of Cyrene. had held the weight of her Son on the wooden cross. Simon had come to Jerusalem to visit friends, instead he began a life's journey to know and speak to all whoever had met this man, Jesus. Simon's repugnance for executions became a climb of compassion and deep reverence as he carried the prisoner's cross. He even seemed to be drawn to Jesus so much that heart spoke to heart. Throughout the journal we observe Simon of Cyrene's transformation into the very heart of Jesus. No where is this so evident than when Fabian, the jailer, beholds Simon of Cyrene the martyr, illumined in a pillar of blazing light. Book jacket.

The journals of this well known Catholic writer detail the graces that sustained her during a mid-life crisis. It was in the year 1977 that I first started saving my journal entries. The excerpts from the journals (1977-1995) describe special graces and reflections as I staggered through more decades of my life--years that included a bout with breast cancer, the death of my parents, the suicide of our beloved son, and the death of my dear husband in 1993. (Excerpt from introduction) Dr, Chervin's journals are insightful, inspiring and challenging.
Martin Chervin, author of Children of the Breath, and two plays: Born/Unborn and Myself: Alma Mahler, was born in 1918 on the Lower East side of New York City to a Polish Jewish family. His fascination with Jesus began as a boy reading a New Testament he found in the public library. Later as a sea man and then as an international bookseller. Martin pondered the claim of the Jewish prophet to be the Son of God and the Saviour of all mankind. At forty-three he married Ronda, a zealous Hebrew-Catholic philosopher. Fathering Carla, Diana and Charles, raised as Catholics, intensified his interest in the figure of Christ. Chervin became a Catholic at the age of sixty, after decades of struggling with doubt. His way of resolving his doubt was to ponder the battle between Satan and Christ during the forty days in the desert for the prize of the human soul. Is it worth the gamble for the children of the breath to reject Satan and all the worldly goods he promises to follow the Lamb of God? Readers are challenged to make their own decision. Book jacket.
