The Wounds of God

'What a delight a first-time reader of the series has ahead of them!' Donna Fletcher Crow

At the end of The Hawk and the Dove Father Peregrine is horribly injured in an attack originating from his previous life as a nobleman, before his calling to the monastic way.

Now, badly crippled, he finds himself humbled to request assistance of his fellow monks in the simplest task. Nevertheless the old indomitable spirit burns brightly. When he is asked to contribute to a conference on justice he finds himself ranged against the formidable Prior William.

The intrigues of monastic life can test the strongest: and Peregrine is no longer strong.

Amazing stories of faith, perseverance and forgiveness.

I cannot say enough, how this entire series by Penelope Wilcox has impacted my faith walk! I’m on my second time through the series and I’m still moved by the love that the brothers show each other, the grace and the patience and forgiveness they show. It’s excellently performed as well!

Excellent

Beautiful, moving, with excellent writing. Book two continues in the same vein as book one, with the narrative of the monks interspersed with the occasional bits of Melissa's life

The beauty of the storytelling

The honest portrayal of community-both in current day and among the monks-is a treasure in our world of isolation

Tedious. Didn’t like the reader

The reader was affected and often screechy. Dudn’tblike story. Tired of the abuse others received.
