Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come now and travel the wide arc of Jesuit Fr. Jack Morris's life through his own consummate storytelling. You'll roam with him through his spacious Montana childhood, summer in the circus, the call of joining the Jesuits, and his challenging formation as a priest. He'll tell you how he developed the Jesuit Volunteer Corps movement, it's brave origins in wild Alaska, and how the crazy idea of the Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage ignited him to walk almost seven-thousand miles with others from Bangor, Washington to the Holy Land to protest nuclear weapons of mass destruction. He shares what a tender grace it was to care for his dying mother, and his Jesuit Refugee Service years in companionship with Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda. A pilgrim, philosopher, and gypsy at heart, he changed every soul he encountered by pointing the way to love and mercy. Jack has passed, but thankfully he passed on to us his poignant memories of a life lived on the frontiers of the heart.
