Father Joe

Father Joe

by Tony Hendra

In 'Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul,' Tony Hendra recounts a transformative relationship that guided him through the vicissitudes of life. From a lascivious encounter at fourteen leading to an introduction to Father Joe, a benevolent Benedictine monk, to the dramatic shifts in his career - from comedy writer to satirist - Hendra's vivid narrative captures the enduring wisdom of his spiritual confidante. This memoir unveils how Hendra navigates life's comedic and tragic moments under the gentle influence of Father Joe's philosophy, which taught him the true essence of love and selflessness. As Hendra matures from a rebellious youth to a seasoned creator influencing pop culture with productions like 'National Lampoon,' his internal voyage towards faith and clarity is a testament to the power of spiritual mentorship and the search for meaning beyond satire.
