Bishops – Under the Influence of Jesus

Joe Paprocki Books, Joe's Comings and Goings

About a month ago, I sent a signed copy of my book, Under the Influence of Jesus: The Transforming Experience of Encountering Christ, to every Catholic bishop in the U.S. Since then, I’ve received dozens of cards and letters from the bishops in response!
