Description
The Priests We Need to Save the Church
by Kevin Wells
Kevin Wells knows that holy priests can save the Church and society by pouring themselves out for their flocks. We need priests, first of all, to be good fathers who tell us the truth, especially the “hard teachings” about marriage, family and human sexuality.
The book opens with Kevin and his wife’s experience of infertility. One priest told them to do whatever their conscience told them. One priest steered them rightly. This makes for an inspiring “story within the story.”
This book is a perfect gift for:
- Couples struggling with infertility.
- Anyone trying to understand what it means to be a man.
- Husbands wanting to understand and live faithfully their roles as fathers and husbands.
- Wives wanting to appreciate and understand their husbands’ roles.
- Men considering the priesthood.
- The priests in your life.

From the publisher’s description:
While dissolute bishops and priests around the world grab headlines for their untoward words and deeds, too many other unfruitful priests minister as little more than glad-handing bachelors doing social service work.
Top and bottom, is this the Church that Christ intended? Are these the priests we need?
“No!” cries author Kevin Wells in these compelling pages that showcase how heroic priests can faithfully tread the narrow path of holy self-sacrifice first blazed by the apostles themselves. From scores of insightful interviews with modern priests, exorcists, seminary formators, and even disillusioned laity, Wells here draws forth a blueprint for priestly holiness that can once again fill our Church with priests abounding with sincere, supernatural faith, on fire with God’s love, and moved by the irresistible impulse to save souls, no matter the cost to themselves.
Reading this book will deepen your own faith and help you understand what all priests, by their vocation, are consecrated and called to be. Giving a copy to your parish priest will help him – and encourage him – as he strives to become a member of the small but growing contingent of holy priests we need.
