Thomas F. Ryan SJ
Thomas F. Ryan was a man of immense energy, with a strong commitment to social justice. He combined religion and dedication to the poor in Ireland, China and Hong Kong. As a scholastic in Belvedere College, he taught his classes, took an MA at University College Dublin, and was deeply involved with the Belvedere Newsboys' Club and in work for young people in remand homes. He was a very capable organiser and administrator, both within the Society of Jesus and as a member of the Hong Kong government. His planning was marked by imagination and vision, and he was deeply devoted to the Chinese people and had many Chinese friends, one of whom arranged for a special tablet and music fellowship in his honour in St George's Royal Chapel in Windsor Castle. As a Jesuit he may also be considered a pioneer in his Order's extensive commitment to the welfare of refugees.
The Reasoning Heart
After many years in tertiary and adult education, and after publishing widely on moral issues, for instance, Shame, Hope and the Church: A Journey with Mary, Marist Father Tom Ryan explores the affective dimension of Jean-Claude Colin, the founder of the Society of Mary. Colin's thinking is well documented as the result of many years of research by Marist scholars, and Father Ryan brings considerable expertise in the psychology of affect. The combination makes for a particularly rich and timely work, one which should have pride of place on your reading list.

But when he finds a cryptic message from Connor, he's drawn back into the search for the killer--who might not have been a random drifter after all. Now nobody--friends, neighbors, or even the sexy stranger with his own connection to the case--is beyond suspicion.
