Humble Ambition: The Story of Father Lloyd Gnirk

Why in the world would anyone want to become a priest? Throughout history, they have been some of the most capable men of their time, and yet they give up so much - family, pleasure, freedom. And what about the scandals? What percentage of priests were really involved, and is it over? Is what they do really a commitment to God or is there something else going on? Fletcher Reel, author of Omaha: Monsignor Wm. T. Roach's Recollections of Father Flanagan and the Sporting District, provides answers to all these questions and a lot more as he takes a deep dive into the life of Father Lloyd Gnirk - "The Jet Setting Priest." A non-Catholic, Reel approached this story as a skeptic but went through what he describes as "the most spiritual journey of my life." "There's something very real here," he says. If you're a young man thinking of becoming a priest, you need to read this book. Order "Humble Ambition" today!
