About the Book

Reiser’s Ramblings is a collection of Fr. Bernard Reiser’s best columns written over the past
three decades. Be inspired all over again as you read Father’s take on everyday topics such as
family, kindness, gratitude, prayer, helping others, and staying focused on what’s important in
life.

Reiser literally pulls you into a scene from his boyhood youth on the farm and relate it to
events in the world today and weave in a Christian meaning or concept, and injects an idea
that makes you ponder.

And with words of love; Reiser shares his trust and God and to let the reader know there is
hope for humankind and discovering that hope can be an exciting adventure. Following Christ
is full of ups and downs and this book helps fellow believers be all that God wants them to be
on their adventure with God.
