Trained as a journalist, Dowling was always drawn to those who were suffering--a sympathy enhanced by his own crippling infirmities--which led him to embrace the A.A. approach to healing in community. Father Ed is a portrait of the kind of priest Pope Francis has extolled as a \"shepherd with the smell of the sheep.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$30.00 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBIOGRAPHY \u0026amp; AUTOBIOGRAPHY \/ Religious \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christianity \/ Catholic \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSELF-HELP \/ Twelve-Step Programs \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristopher Award Winner \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFATHER ED \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Story of Bill W.'s Spiritual Sponsor \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDawn Eden Goldstein \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eORBIS LOGO \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN 978-1-62698-486-8 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor photo: Jay Mallin \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover photo: Father Ed Dowling, SJ, ca. 1957, in the chapel at The Queen's Work, St. Louis, MO.
