The Diary of a Country Priest

The Diary of a Country Priest is by Georges Bernanos. A quaint and moving historical fiction novel, supposedly the diary of a young French priest. The young priest has his faith tested as he struggles to minister to the members of his parish, who do not have his faith. A poignant novel, if slow moving. There are many wonderful commonplace quotes in this novel and the last words of the priest are words we should all remember. 

Ratings: 11th grade - 7 out of 10.
