Product Details
By Myles Connolly | Introduction by Stephen Mirarchi
J. Blue is a mysterious man. Charming and carefree, he goes from rags to riches after the inheritance of an unexpected fortune, only to forgo money and power for the love of Lady Poverty. This life of service leads him to embrace fully his Christian faith—loving the unlovable, instructing the ignorant, and remembering that it is by grace that we are saved.
This edition of Myles Connolly’s 1928 novel features a special Preface by the author’s daughter Mary Connolly Breiner and a new Introduction by Stephen Mirarchi, which places the book in historical context, explains its literary structure, and reveals Connolly’s sharp command of his craft. As powerfully and poignantly today as when it was first published, the plot and protagonist of Mr. Blue will make “one believe almost anything is possible,” especially a life of joyful self-giving.

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
