Breaking Through

By Kevin Bourque

Breaking Through: A Father John Brennan Story is a moving, honest, and ultimately uplifting novel about faith, healing, and the power of community. Father John Brennan, a Catholic priest in the affluent town of Belleview, struggles with anxiety, emotional eating, and the pressures of ministry. When his personal and professional life reach a breaking point, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, aided by friends, parishioners, and the gentle guidance of God's grace.

Through candid storytelling, Father John confronts his past, builds authentic relationships, and learns to embrace vulnerability. From humorous kitchen mishaps to profound spiritual encounters, his story is one of transformation-reminding readers that healing is possible, and that we are never truly alone.

Perfect for fans of Henri Nouwen, Mitch Albom, and Richard Rohr, Breaking Through offers a heartfelt look at the challenges and joys of pastoral life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of grace in everyday moments.
