Hello, John!

Christianity is filled with mysteries and paradoxes that seemingly defy understanding—the comfort of the cross, the last becoming the first, death giving way to resurrection and eternal life. How do we make sense of it all?

In his provocative new memoir, Paschal Paradox: Reflections on a Life of Spiritual Evolution, Diarmuid O'Murchu attempts to navigate the mysteries of faith using examples from his own life. After years of expanding and evolving his spiritual boundaries, he comes to the conclusion that true spirituality embraces and welcomes the unexplainable.

If you've ever felt that your faith tradition is telling you one thing while your lived experience is telling you another, this is the book for you.

"Although Diarmuid is genuinely much more of a scholar and scientist than I am, we have come to so many of the same conclusions about the Gospel, church, religious life, spirituality, and meaning itself. Read and be fed by my Irish brother." —Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM

Paschal Paradox: Reflections on a Life of Spiritual Evolution is now available to order wherever books are sold, including from Franciscan Media’s online bookstore (the most direct way for your purchase to support our mission). 

Peace and all good!
