Latest release

The Priests We Need to Save the Church

In The Priests We Need to Save the Church, Kevin Wells lays out a blueprint of priestly heroism, calling for today’s shepherds to take the narrow path of self-denial once tread by St. John Vianney, the priest-saint of old, and his own uncle, beloved Monsignor Thomas Wells, who, before his shocking murder, led more than a dozen men to the priesthood and affected the lives of thousands.

Can any priest read this book without feeling a little uncomfortable?
– Msgr. Stephen J. Rossetti PhD DMin

Praise for The Priests We Need to Save the Church

"The story of the spiritual father Msgr. Thomas Wells, the author’s 'Uncle Tommy,' leaves us wishing we knew him before his murder in 2001. The descriptive power and eternal truths of this book make it a tribute, an indictment, and a prayer for the priesthood."

"This book is a salutary challenge to what can become an all-too-comfortable life. Kevin Wells, and the lives of the exemplary priests he describes, set out to identify and heal the ills of the modern priesthood and set us back on the path to sanctity. The Church will always be rocked with scandals until its priests become saints."

"Kevin Wells' book is the long-overdue dynamite required to wake up a generation of hesitant priests and sleeping laity unwilling to embrace full Catholic identity in a post-Christian culture. "

"This is the book we need to sort through the moral chaos inflicting Catholicism in the modern world. Kevin Wells incisively identifies the problem in the Church and, through his careful thought, prayer, and research, clears the path for priests and laity to solve it. "

"A timely, relevant, soul-searching read!"

"One of the most important books written in years involving the ugly dilemma that threatens to swallow the Catholic Church. It’s a must read for every Catholic wanting to understand both the source and depth of its tragic, self-inflicted wounds as well as the potential path toward forgiveness, healing and survival."
