About The Author
Pete DuBarry.........

The author of this book was raised in a Roman Catholic family and was the youngest of six children. He spent over fourteen years of his life under the influence of Benedictine nuns, Christian Brothers, and Benedictine monks.

After two years of university study, and with the encouragement of his parish priest, he entered a Benedictine monastery with the intention of becoming a Catholic priest.

Duing his stay at the monastery, the author developed a deep appreciation of the incredible work accomplished by these monks who were totally dedicated to the work of God.

Because the author entered the monastery at age 22, he was considered a "belated vocation" and had to complete six years of regular training in only a 2-year period.

Following a realization that the life-style of the monks was not the best way for him to serve God, the author left the monastery and volunteered for the military. Upon completion of a 2-year tour in the army, he returned to his university studies.
