Family Grace : Story Of Conversion Through Friendship

Fr. Giesler’s Junia trilogy vividly recounted the lives of the early Christians and their struggle to be faithful to their newfound faith in Jesus Christ.

In Family Grace, Fr. Giesler tells a similar story, but within the context of a contemporary American family that discovers the Catholic Faith in gradual and unexpected ways. He vividly narrates their temptations, failures, and victories in a setting very similar to what the early Christians faced: a society often hostile to the truth and goodness of the Gospel.

As he did in his previous novels, Giesler uses the message of St. Josemaria Escriva as his inspiration—with his call to become saints and apostles in the middle of the world, a calling very similar to that of the early followers of Christ.
