Three Who Ventured
SKU: 978-1950970872
Product Details
By Myles Connolly | Introduction by Stephen Mirarchi, Ph.D.
Three venturers—Dennis, Mann Timothy, and John Martin—share a common quest for salvation. Dennis, a Catholic priest, suffers a crisis of confidence and flees into anonymity, there to serve God in total humility. Mann Timothy repeatedly tests his faith with attempts to walk on water, even as the ultimate, and dreadful, challenge to his belief is yet to come. John Martin follows the spirit of adventure into a nether world of impulse and destruction, from which the only salvation is to make an offering of complete, self-emptying love.
With Stephen Mirarchi as their seasoned guide, readers can have an expanded appreciation for the depths of feeling and the rich sacramental vision that Connolly possessed in his fiction-writing, as they follow the Three Who Ventured in search of the divine.
Myles Connolly (1897–1964) was a Hollywood writer and producer with more than forty film credits to his name and several others uncredited. He published a collection of short stories and four novels.
Stephen Mirarchi, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of English at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He is editor of the works of Myles Connolly in the Cluny Classics series and author of numerous articles in academic journals, popular magazines, and newspapers.

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.
