"I look around the church as we sing. I was expecting the Hollywood version of a monastery, something European looking, with vineyards and massive stone buildings and ivy-covered cloisters. I wanted sturdy monks singing with deep, vibrant voices, like the Gregorian chant CDs that I play at home when I take a hot bath and light candles and sticks of incense.... Why am I here? To get a bit of rest. Read a few books. That's what I thought, anyway. Now, I'm not sure."Richard Cole initially saw his trip to a monastery inwestern Texas as a retreat-to check out for a few days,maybe a chance to catch up on his reading. Instead,Cole embarks on a zigzagging roller coaster of emotionand examination as he discerns, dissects, and discoversthe incredible vibrancy of the Catholic community.Catholic by Choiceprovides a funny and joyous lookat adult Catholic conversion from the point of viewof a modern convert, telling a deeply personal yetrelatable story of discovery, doubt, and finding a placeat God's table.
