The Father Ignatius Series

 

VISIONS - The father Ignatius series is a fun and easy read, Victor Moubarak is an excellent writer, love all his books. (Catherine)

For such a fast read, this book was amazing. As a Catholic, the story touched my heart deeply and should be read by other Catholics. If the reader is not a Catholic, it should be read anyway for the way it deals with our understanding of God’s forgiveness of sins, spiritual support through the worst of times, and the strength a good parish can have even if you are doubted by your peers.

This book is the first in a series about the main character. I read a later book and enjoyed it so much I had to go back to the beginning to follow the progression of his career. This book does not preach, it just carries the reader along on what could be if they believe. (Patt ONeil)

Do you believe that God still performs miracles in today's jaded and fallen world? What would your reaction be to three children stating they had met Jesus in a park? Would you believe without question? Or would you be led into doubt and disbelief instead? In Visions, Moubarak explores these all-too-human questions through the eyes of Catholic priest, Father Ignatius, and the ecumenical community at large. You will be irresistibly drawn into the believable characters, and sympathize with their questions and insecurities, while at the same time, be compelled to examine your own heart as to its spiritual health. This novel is a must-read for every Christian, and I would highly recommend it, too, for those who are questioning their beliefs in Christ, our Savior.

THE PRIEST AND PROSTITUTE - This is a very well written 'Who Done It'. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, and many original lines. The one I remember most was concerning a conversation in which the old saying "If someone yells in a vacuum can it be heard?" You have to appreciate the wit of the author and also the surprise ending. It is a very enjoyable read and I definitely would recommend the author. Yep, tis a fun read. (Jack Darnell)

An intriguing and riveting story that will keep readers interested and engaged through the entire story. Highly recommended! (Martha Orlando)

TO LOVE A PRIEST - Of all Moubarak's Father Ignatius stories, this one most definitely is his most poignant. Torn between his priestly vows and the re-emergence of a former love, Fr. Ignatius is faced with a deep and life-changing decision. You do not want to miss this one! (Martha Orlando)

DON'T LET THE DEVIL WIN -  I found this story so relatable ... in particular, Fr. Ignatius' vulnerability. On more than one occasion I, too, have wondered if God was punishing me. Good to realize, I'm not the only one. (Myra G)

If you like a down to earth good drama, this is one to give a shot. I enjoyed it from beginning to end as it covers the distress of a priest who in on the verge of leaving the priest hood with all the torments and feelings. It has a great ending, not what I expected, but it is good. Victor writes a good book. I am protestant and Victor's hero or main character is Father Ignatius, Catholic Priest. As I read Ignatius seems like your average 'preacher'. The same every day life and problems associated with those in a parsonage (my dad was a preacher so I know a little about that. LOL) Anyway, I highly advise this book, entertaining and informative. (Jack Darnell)

MURDER IN THE MONASTERY -  This is such an excellent written book, that keeps you literally on edge till the very end. I read it through... could not put it down! WOW. Well, what a perfect thing to do on a day you have no Internet! That got solved and you will be SURPRISED reading this book. (Mariette Vedder)

A SHOT IN THE PARK - Love the Father Ignatius series, I hope that this writer keeps the series going, a very fun and suspenseful read. (Catherine)

A Shot in the Park may well be my favorite of Victor Moubarak's books! The storyline was both riveting and plausible. Plus, the author's writing made it easy for this reader to visualize each of the characters. My biggest take-away is the subject of forgiveness. That's something I've struggled with most of my life. (Myra G)

This book is one of the more recent books in a series by this author. The story was entertaining and the message heart warming. I gave it 4 Stars instead of 5 because of the narrator's "breaking the down the 4th wall" rule, where he talked to the reader, which wasn't all that bad because it was in a homily-like manner that helped move the plot along. I was so impressed by the Father Ignatius character, I'm going to read the rest of the series from the beginning. (Patt O'Neil)

LIVING THE WORD -

This writer has a knack for keeping the readers on edge to the end, hard top put book down. (Catherine)

APPOINTMENT WITH MURDER -As ever, the author's created an entertaining, easy-to-read story featuring some of my most unforgettable characters. I especially enjoyed learning more about Fr. Ignatius' private struggle between right and wrong. Despite the collar, his obvious humanity. Normally because I'm a "it's either black or white" type, I doubt that I could be as resolute. (Myra G)
