345- How to Become A Saint. Part 2.

Good Leaders are hard to find. But Saint Marianne Cope’s amazing life and leadership style continue in this weeks podcast.

(Episode 344 for Part 1)

The beleaguered citizens of the fictional town of “Canalville” from my new novel, “The Very Fine Light” have had to learn the hard way that good leaders in our times are in very short supply. In Canalville, it’s the mayor whose leadership decisions made their lives extremely difficult and worrisome.

Purchase the book “The Very Fine Light” at Amazon.com

Rather than dwell on the negative, I think it’s appropriate to spotlight what a good leader can do. This is “part 2” of how Saint Marianne Cope’s leadership, though not in politics, changed lives and made the world a better place

Also, Pray for the People of Ukraine. There are links below on ways to support them.
