Without a Doubt:  Bringing Faith to Life by Bishop Thomas Tobin. 

This readable, instructional book is a compilation of Bishop Thomas Tobin's columns in the Diocese of Youngstown Diocesan newspaper.  On May 31, 2005, Bishop Tobin was installed  as bishop of the Providence, Rhode Island, Diocese.

Bishop Tobin's deep faith, wonderful humor, down to earth writing style, and unabashed love for God and His Church weave a quilt of thought provoking reflections on the faith. 

Topics are varied, but all engaging. For example, Bishop Tobin reflects on:

* What sorts of letters bishops receive and their response to them.

* The spiritual lessons golf can teach.

* How being unable to play the accordion well can be part of a family holiday tradition.

* How freedom and the moral law dovetail.

* Seven things every Catholic should know about the Church.

* The questions kids ask bishops--and the answers!

* Five primary duties of Catholic parents.

* The difference in the Church between ministry of the ordained and non-ordained.

* The dangers of playing God.

* The importance of a habit of prayer.

* Seven ways to live Sunday Mass all week.

* Proper ways to behave in church.

* The way of the cross in the believer's life.

* Guidelines for prayerful reception of the Eucharist.

* Brief meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

* A pastoral letter on the Centrality of the Eucharist.

Bishop Tobin's book is a good way to get to know the bishop to whom the Confraternity of Penitents is responsible.  We are grateful to God to have such a personable and faithful man as our bishop.  May God bless him always.  Please hold Bishop Tobin in your prayers.
