| After the tragic death of his father, Michael O'Shea travels from his native Philadelphia to rural Kentucky for the summer. In this land of tobacco farming, bluegrass music, and devout fundamentalist Christianity, he is compelled to explain and justify the Catholic Faith. His only defense...the Bible.
Join Michael on an Amish-style farmstead as he learns to milk a cow, harness a horse, disk a field, and harvest hay with a team instead of a tractor. Will he discover the truth about the papacy, the Eucharist, and devotion to Mary in Sacred Scripture?
"This improbable novel calms the spirit with the beauty of family life on a farm, and somehow-can't put my finger on it-beguiles you into identifying with the unlikely hero as he learns how to defend his Catholic faith in confrontation with Bible believers. Too bad apologetics isn't always this enjoyable - or seductive."
- Father Owen Kearns, L.C. - Publisher, National Catholic Register and Catholic Faith and Family
"...A powerful defense of Catholic beliefs that acknowledges the deep love for Christ and thirst for truth among fundamentalist Christians."
- Marcus Grodi - President, The Coming Home Network International and Host, "The Journey Home" TV program on EWTN
"A Philadelphia Catholic in King Jame's Court is a welcome contribution to the return of the Catholic novel!"
