A Man to Move Hearts - A Life of Paul Murphy, MJ. This all new book about Paul Murphy is written by Stephen Ryan and Joanna Bogle – the co-author of
“A Heart for Europe”, the life of Emperor Karl of Austria who was recently beatified. She says about the book:
“When I was asked to write a short booklet about Paul Murphy, one of the early members of Miles Jesu in America, I accepted because I thought it might be interesting and that I could produce a neat professional job. I have written a number of historical biographies, and this would be something different – a short booklet about someone modern, someone who was born and brought up in my own era. What I was not expecting was that I would be touched by Paul’s story – a simple and moving example of a life lived with generosity and, at the end, with great courage.
I enjoyed working with Steve Ryan on this project – as you open the booklet, enjoy for a moment the atmosphere in which much of the work was done: lively talkative meetings at the Army and Navy Store – a big shop in London conveniently near to a main railway station, and with a comfortable cafe where we would sit and spread our papers and swap notes and information. At our last meeting, as we emerged into the London rain, Steve was talking about the booklet and how it would first see the light of day in Arizona. I suppose you don't get much rain there. Well, until you have spent a November in London, you haven’t truly lived! Perhaps we’ll see you at next year’s Path to Rome international conference in London. So, from a cold and wet London, I send cheery greetings to everyone who will read the booklet into which Steve and I put a lot of work and enthusiasm. I hope it will touch you as it did me, and that you will feel, as we did, that Paul Murphy’s life is a story worth telling.”
Find out why Paul Murphy is an inspiration to live a deeper Christian life and an outstanding role model for today’s young people...
