For almost a decade, popular priest and YouTube personality Fr. Bill Byrne wrote a column titled "5 Things" for his local church newspaper featuring five life hacks, prayer starters, or spiritual meditations to help readers grow closer to God and appreciate the small-but vital-things in life. Now, in a practical and engaging guide to embracing happiness, 5 Things with Father Bill features fifty topics to enhance ordinary days and holidays with insights, reflections, and encouragement.
Filled with wisdom and whimsy, readers will learn:
- ways to conquer fear,
- how to be a genius,
- the power of blessings and prayers,
- saints to emulate,
- tips for Lent, Easter, Advent and Christmas, and even lessons from Maggie, Fr. Bill's pet Labrador retriever.
