I recently finished reading Father Jeffrey Keyes' book, "Rad to Trad: A Journey to the Extraordinary." The book itself has a beautiful cover and great photos throughout, but it was the story of a faithful and reverent priest that was what I enjoyed most. It was wonderful to get a glimpse into the life and perspective of a priest over the past several decades of his vocation. I enjoyed learning about Fr. Keyes’ gift and love for music and sharing that gift as part of his vocation. The most profound gift that I will take from this personal story was an insight and appreciation for the great mystery of the celebration of the Mass. I feel as if he opened the door a crack to raise my awareness and pique my curiosity to more fully appreciate this mystery. That is the gift I will be taking the time to get closer to this Lenten season and going forward in my own faith journey. Thank you for writing this book, for sharing your journey, and for keeping the focus on Christ. A great book that I could not put down and will go back and read again. Jim Sano
