Resurrection Fern - Tales of a Dominican Friar

In this memoir, Fr. Val A. McInnes tells the story of his life as a Dominican friar. It is a personal story, full of light hearted anecdotes. But there is a real significance for the wider church in the story he tells - of faith, commitment, and dedication to a long-held dream. It's all here: service to the Church, the university community, his own faith story and how it relates to the lives of others. The Resurrection Fern grows on the upper side of the branches of live oak trees in the southern part of the United States, especially in Louisiana and Alabama. It flourishes in the wet season and dies in the dry season. However, as soon as the rains come again, the fern sprouts up with new life and vitality.
