Confessions of a Part-Time Monk: A Memoir

An experimental memoir styled as a play, Confessions of a Part-Time Monk shares the ups and downs of one man's quest for truth.

Starting from boyhood and his early years as a priest in the Roman Catholic Church and moving through the events leading to his radical decision to pursue a new life of marriage, family, and devotion in the Old Catholic Church, Patrick Trujillo's story depicts a life of humor, decisive action, and serious study. With candid scenes stripped of all veneer, Trujillo shares the pivotal moments in his journey-sometimes painful, sometimes joyous, and sometimes life threatening-with the hope that his reflections are catalysts for discussion.
