"""Eugene Kennedy lived a life that mirrored the great change in the Catholic church in the twentieth century: at various times a psychologist, author, and activist, sometimes all three. His rich and varied life is beautifully recounted in this new book--the first biography of Kennedy, and a worthy one, of this important and inspiring Catholic layman."" --James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage ""With skill and passion, Eugene Kennedy penned insight and reason to countless issues of our time. He gave us a view of truth and a glimpse of his good soul."" --Kenneth Velo, Senior Executive of Catholic Collaboration at DePaul University ""This book is a concise and compellingly tribute to a man whose contributions changed understandings about what it means to be a Catholic priest, a counselor, and a human being. Eugene Kennedy will appeal to a wide audience as it captures the multifaceted and vibrant life of a scholar of the mind and spirit whose writings and interests transcended academic disciplines, political labels, and faith traditions. As a former student of Kennedy, I was riveted by Van Ornum's rich and incisive compendium of our mentor's paradigm-shifting work."" --Arthur J. Lurigio, Dean and Professor of Psychology at Loyola University Chicago"
