Opis

A reluctant pope and an exiled priest meet on the plains of West Texas at a little church where God is waiting to show them that He is in control of all things and that their current circumstances are His plan for their lives. Both men are humble in heart and accept their service, but God offers so much more. Pope Leo XIV, the first pope born in the United States, was surprised by his selection as pope and begins to review the events of his life for confirmation that he is prepared for the challenges of leadership. His seminary years in Chicago, service in Vietnam, parish life in Los Angeles, and elevation to Cardinal in Mexico all provide special memories to guide him on his search. Father Ricardo Zaragoza has been falsely accused of misconduct and sent to a remote parish in West Texas. Confused and disheartened, Father Ricardo is stunned to discover that the new pope was born near his parish and will soon visit. As Father Ricardo wonders if the pope's visit can restore his career, he is horrified to realize that his dysfunctional church will mingle with Pope Leo. As the local residents exhaust his patience and seek to control the events of the pope's visit, Father Ricardo learns more about his eccentric flock than he may be able to handle. Humble in Heart provides inspiration and humor as the story unfolds while reminding all that God is sovereign and offers unlimited love and forgiveness. Cam Leonard lives in Bellaire, Texas with his wife Amy. Humble in Heart is his first novel. His second novel, Stellar Witness, is also available on Amazon.com.
