Complies new case histories of near-death experiences, discusses two phenomena not covered in previous books, and describes the profound, often life-transforming, influence of near-death experiences

For the past three decades, Andrew Greeley, priest, sociologist, and bestselling author, has researched the behavior and beliefs of American Catholics. Here he translates his works into hard data as he describes "the fascinating, wonderful, and slightly daffy story of American Catholicism since the end of the Second Vatican Council". A powerful argument, this survey dispels many myths, ans gives new meaning to the word "Catholic".

Bestselling novelist Andrew M. Greeley outdoes his previous triumphs with Irish Gold , a contemporary, fresh and exciting novel of suspense and love. Nuala Anne McGrail, a student at Dublin's Trinity College, is beautiful the way a Celtic goddess is beautiful - not that Dermot Michael Coyne of Chicago has ever seen one of those in his twenty-five years - unless you count his grandmother Nell, who left Ireland during the Troubles with her husband Liam O'Riada, and who would never tell why they left. Somebody else remembers, though - or why is Dermot set upon by thugs?

Four men probe the life and death of Cathy Collins, a young Catholic nun tortured and killed by the soldiers of a Latin American dictator

The direction of Paul and Sean Cronin's lives was shaped the day their father, a self-made multimillionaire, decided that one of his boys would grow up to be a cardinal while the other would become president of the United States. For his elder son, Paul, the father had even chosen a wife -- the beautiful Nora, who had come to the Cronin home as an orphan child years before. Obediently, and with a genuine vocation, the younger son, Sean, went into the priesthood. With a more cynical view, Paul went to Notre Dame to prepare for a life in politics until the Korean War intervened. Then came the news -- Paul Cronin was missing in action. "If he dies," Sean's father told him, "you must leave the seminary and marry Nora." The words sang in Sean's head. Could he renounce his sacred calling -- and marry the girl he had always loved?

When three people are murdered in a church that has long represented a bulwark against change in its venerable Chicago neighborhood, Bishop "Blackie" Ryan enlists a psychic cop and a Sicilian attorney in what he believes is a campaign of terror.

A brush with death convinces Red Kane, a Chicago newspaper columnist, to investigate the connection between Harv Gunther, a powerful politician, and the recent murder of a teenage girl
