In a brand new book by Luis R. Perez, explore the riveting story of William Maldonado, who experiences the kind of personal and professional grief that would leave anyone feeling spiritually debilitated. 

In Maldonado's case, however, his grief serves as a catalyst for exceptional growth.

A poignant novel by Luis R. Perez with extraordinary reviews:
"Luis Perez deploys a novelist's lucidity and a pastor's heart in telling Maldonado's story. This itinerary of redemption, not the deus ex machina of wishful thinking, but the grittier, twisted tangle of life in a broken world and a flawed church, takes us into - and through - the jumble of our own hearts."
-Bruce Chilton, author of Christianity: The Basics

"Dickens could be jumping for joy. Perez introduces a potpourri of singular characters bumping up against each other in religion, philosophy, language, culture, motive, and behavior. Out of this human brew arises a strong story of redemption."
-Albert Crum, M.D., author of The 10-Step Method of Stress Relief: Decoding the Meaning and Significance of Stress, resident of The ProImmune Company, LLC.

"Catharsis follows the external and internal dialogue of many people - seekers, church members, pastors, priests - following the thread of one man's anger. God works through the tangle of relationships and institutional ambiguity to redirect many people in this rich, multi-layered exploration of spirituality and real life."
-Thomas Bandy, church consultant and leadership coach

"Catharsis is a beautiful, moving, and gripping novel, full of colorful characters so vividly drawn that they become part of the reader's own world. Perez does much more than simply craft a great narrative that transcends its gritty setting....he explores the vicissitudes of life, always searching for higher and deeper meaning."
-Carlos Eire, author of
Waiting for Snow in Havana
