(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 22, 2021 ) October 21, 2021 – Denver, CO and Minneapolis-Saint Paul, MN – Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company—has just released a new biography by Father Shane Wasinger. The Turtle Priest – A Transformation from Head to Heart emphasizes the importance of perseverance in attaining spiritual growth and overcoming addiction.

The Turtle Priest describes one boy’s faith journey as he copes with the loss of his father and a life with its share of difficulties. While on his path to the priesthood, he overcomes further challenges through determination and perseverance. From his early sheltered life, he brings into the priesthood loneliness, questions about his faith and fears about his ability to serve as a priest. His repressed feelings lead to fighting inner battles, one of which nearly costs him his life. Finally, he accepts the fact that he is good enough and loved unconditionally, if only by God, and his faith deepens, eventually enabling him to truly feel God’s love for him within his heart, transforming his ministry and self-confidence forever.

“We all struggle with inner battles throughout our lives,” Shane Wasinger explains. “Everyone strives for acceptance. We measure our successes against others within our society, but what if our success can only be found through our faith—not the faith we read about in books, but faith that can be truly felt in our heart! That kind of faith will give anyone the confidence to overcome personal struggles—even addiction. Knowing that God loves you unconditionally and wants to give you the grace to work through anything is very powerful. When we admit that we desire that faith and completely accept God’s love, we are truly set free and can see the world in a new light!”

For anyone who wants to know God rather than know about God, The Turtle Priest is an insightful book that reveals how one can develop a meaningful relationship with God through suffering, and the redemptive power of God’s love to transform one’s life.
