Priest, poet, founder of Religious Congregations, miracle worker, preacher of the Cross and prophet of the Reign of Christ through Mary. The gripping story of a man misunderstood by many of his contemporaries, but whose influence can be compared only to that of the masters of the Spiritual Life. His message was simple: The closer one comes to Mary, the closer one draws to God. Eddie Doherty was introduced to Saint Louis de Montfort and his Marian way of spiritual life through his spiritual director, Fr. John Callahan. He became at once fascinated by this great lover of the poor who was at once a poet, preacher, and apostle of Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ, and of his mother, Mary. A pilgrimage to de Montfort's country, for purposes of research, enabled him to walk in the footsteps of the saint and to discover for himself the spirit that animated the spiritual giant he writes so well about in this biography.

Eddie Doherty had it all--money, fame, women, power. He lived hard and fast as a newspaper reporter, pursued the most exciting events of the world. Writing for newspapers like the Chicago Tribune, Chicago American, New York News, New York American, Liberty Magazine, and Chicago Sun (later Sun-Times), he was headlined as "America s Star Reporter," and billboards bragged that he was "America s Highest Paid Reporter." Eddie's picturesque life soon felt the sting of utter tragedy, when his wife--and mother of his then 18 month-old son--died a horrible flu epidemic. Marie's death was a bitter loss, and it turned him against the Church, against God. Soon, he met, wooed, and married the beautiful writer Mildred Frisby, who bore his second son. Eddie quipped, punned, laughed, and typed his way through a life that was often exciting, but sometimes hellish--his second son contracted polio, and Mildred was dogged with chronic back pain for most of her life. But when Eddie took Mildred to an oesteopathic doctor who cured her life-long pain, they considered it a miracle--and, their sons grown, they decided to take a second honeymoon. The future looked bright... ...until disaster struck again. Wandering alone in sheer delight on a country hillside, Mildred had a fall--and when a search party finally found her, she was dead. "I began to sob," Eddie wrote, "Every sob was a tremendous blow to the pit of my stomach. Nothing had ever hurt me so much in all my life. Nothing has ever hurt me so much since then." This time, in the midst of his grief, he found peace in returning, finally, to the Catholic Church in tears of joy--and his life would never be the same again. The editor of Liberty Magazine asked Eddie to write his autobiography as a ten-part serial, entitled, simply, 'Newspaperman.' It is this serial that forms the foundation of Gall and Honey: The Story of a Newspaperman.

Belly buttons, eels, trees, jigsaw puzzles, the Statue of Liberty... there doesn't seem to be anything in the world that Eddie Doherty can't use to find and praise God! Eddie Doherty had been a reporter, a writer, and a rogue--and when he made up his mind to please God, he threw himself into the task with his usual verve and good humour. When you read his Getting to Know God, chances are that you'll be instantly caught up in his divine enthusiasm. His infectious trust in God--and his ability to see His loving hand everywhere--will show you the way to live your everyday life with new familiarty with God. In the course of these fifty brief and light-hearted chapters, Eddie touches on more than a few utterly serious matters: persecution, humility, love, marriage, death, sacrifice, and more. He reveals the heroic extent of some of the sacrifices he and his wife, Catherine, made for the pure love of Jesus. Throughout he displays a refreshingly joyful love for God. In the roaring twenties, Eddie was a nationally known reporter who covered everyone from Charles Lindbergh to Al Capone. In middle age he married Baroness Catherine de Hueck, who had founded a Catholic apostolate to minister to the poor. Soon he was transformed by her spiritual energy. His high-spirited friendship with God brightens every page of Getting to Know God. Frequently funny, often offbeat, and sometimes downright silly, Eddie's thoughts are always invested with a deep and uncompromising love for God. They're guaranteed to move you to praise and thank God in ways you never have before! Pick up Getting to Know God and be prepared to find God everywhere--even in eels, belly buttons, and jigsaw puzzles!
