Reseña del editor:

His bishop calls him a unique priest with a touch of Mother Teresa in him. Many of the people whose lives he has touched call him a saint. For Father Theodore G. Tempel, "What would Jesus do?'' is more than a guideline; it is a way of life. His "ministry to the many'' took him past the traditional washing of feet to the cleaning of bedpans. For 13 years he stayed at night in the home of an elderly widow, cooked and cared for her so that would not have to be placed in a nursing home. He took into his rectory home a woman who had spent much of her life in an iron lung, and mobilized an army of volunteers to help him with her care. He saved a depressed young woman from suicide and gave new meaning to her life when she joined his helping hands network. He became a mentor for an illiterate man who had spent several years in a state institution where he did not belong, and 30 years later they are best friends. These are but a few of the inspiring stories in The Holy Tempel: The Extraordinary Ministry of Father Ted Tempel.

Biografía del autor:

Bill Jackson's journalistic travels took him to Europe, Cuba and Israel - not to mention Cut and Shoot, Texas. It was in Texas that he began his newspaper career and where, for a time, he was a feature writer known as the Red River Valley Rambler. He moved to Evansville, Indiana, in 1963, where he successively served as city editor, managing editor, editor and president of local newspapers. He never stopped writing; his newspaper columns won several awards over the years. The Holy Tempel is his first book since he left the news business in 1998. An Arkansas native, Jackson has four grown children and is married to Jill Jackson, music director of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Evansville.
