Father Under Fire is a hilarious book about life in a 1950's Roman Catholic Parish in England. The characters are warm and easy to love. The stories are very descriptive and vivid. You will feel as though you are there in the rectory of the parish of St. Jude.

After I read the first story I could not put the book down. I cannot wait to read the other books in the series. It is truly one of my favorite books.

I wish the book would be brought back into print. It is truly a shame to have this wonderful book overlooked.

. . .of a young, newly ordained priest in his first assignment -- to be the assistant of an elderly eccentric. This book is "All Creatures Great and Small" in a religious setting! The characters are hysterical, from the acid-tounged housekeeper, Mrs. Pring; to the truly frightening "The Reverend Mother Stephen" to the constantly tipsy doctor -- and of course, to the delightful and witty Father Charles Duddleswell.

Believe me, you don't have to be Catholic (or even religious) to enjoy "Bless Me, Father".

As an aside, I also enjoyed the British TV series by the same name -- but not nearly as much as the book.

This book is so adorable and filled with a spirit of laughter and sunshine! I highly recommend it to everyone!

I purchased a paperback copy of this book in an airport several years ago. The flight I was meeting was nearly 2 hours late, but I didn't mind because the book was very entertaining. So entertaining, in fact, that airport security was on the point of calling an area mental hospital to request an ambulance, straitjacket, and a couple of nurses to relieve them of the solitary woman who kept startling their paying customers. I roared over the Doomsday chair, but I positively shrieked at Father Duddleswell's violation of the confessional. I have actually purchased 2 copies of the book, but loaned them to borrowers who turned into thieves - neither copy was returned to me. If only I could remember who borrowed them....

Is your life a mess? Well, there's one person who can change that. That person is the one living inside your skin. You can make the change through a simple process. Please notice I said "simple"---not "easy". The process is called thinking---the thoughts you think and the way you think them. Far from easy, for some people it's almost impossible. That's where Norah Boyd comes in. She has been teaching the philosophy of Science of Mind [not to be confused with Christian Science] for many years. In THE ROYAL ROAD TO ABUNDANT LIVING, her associate Neil Mence asks 31 vital questions about living ---one for each day of the month. Mrs. Boyd dicusses the right ways to answer these questons and closes with a point on which to meditate. It's emotional dynamite, and it'll turn your life around. Don't say it can't work until you've learned it and tried it.
