In The Laying on of Hands: Catholic Short Stories for Modern Times, award-winning author Philip J Martin pushes society's predispositions and worldly leanings to their logical end in fiction form. From the beautiful to the absurd and the simple to the grotesque, these stories lay bare secular underpinnings through whatever means necessary. Whether mercy, truth, or redemption finds a heart to grapple depends on the alcoholic, the professor, the grave robber, or the missionary, to name a few. A young boy suffers through life and love when his actions have the power to create a gravitational pull. A teenage girl naively thinks she's in for the experience of a lifetime when her brother finds backstage passes under his chair at a country music concert. An elderly woman blinded by nostalgia is routinely invaded by a little child. And in the previously unpublished winner of the 2015 Tuscany Prize in Catholic Fiction, a fraternity brother's pranks seemingly backfire until the farmer makes his greatest move. The Laying on of Hands is a collection not to be missed by any person of good will with a critical eye to modernity's take on virtues and vices.
