A boy who is bored with school -- but likes to sketch. Sister Aquinas notices and gives him art books...and the first pavingstone on a road to an ancient vocation is laid. The reader follows young Tom from the shores of his beloved hometown river to the halls of a junior seminary, to the choir stall of a Benedictine monastery. It is as a monk that Tom, now named Brother Joseph, discovers his calling within a calling. He turns his talented fingers to prayer -- as a painter of icons. This story, by a Benedictine priest, is the modern unfolding of a spiritual vocation, with gloriously beautiful illustrations on every page by artist and iconographer Judith Brown.
