ORIENT, N.Y., July 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- What if you were told by doctors that you had an incurable disease? Would you give up, wishing for a quick and painless death, or would you choose to fight and live till the end? Such was just one of the many struggles that author Shane McGuire faced in his new autobiographical book, Decision Time.
Decision Time retells candidly the events that happened in McGuire's life. It starts from his difficult birth to growing up on a farm and being diagnosed with a painful, incurable bone disease. Somehow, the impossible occurred and McGuire recovered from the illness. Then he heard the calling of God and made the biggest decision of his life -- entering priesthood. Life wasn't always smooth-sailing after that life-changing decision. Yet despite the numerous challenges that McGuire encountered, he never gave up. Instead, he conquered them.
Young people and anyone who is troubled or on the verge of making life decisions would find inspiration in this memoir. This book will give readers insight on becoming a priest, serving people in other countries, and ultimately, listening to and answering each one's calling from God. McGuire shares a new vision of the Church as the people of God called to serve their Lord and one another.
