Porretto, of whom it has been said: \"He is a thinking man's type of author.\" - Tom Wolff, reviewing \"Chosen One\"\"A superior wordsmith by far than many better known authors, he has a unique ability to write believable characters with extraordinary depth. But the storytelling! My goodness. He holds a near-unique ability to mix religious themes, challenging moral situations, relationship, and some good ol' fashion butt-whoopin' all in one.\" - M. Deshazer, reviewing \"Innocents\" \"His insight into interpersonal relationships; his understanding of what constitutes moral behavior; his all-too-rare grasp of true (not the liberal mockery of) civility, of politeness and consideration for others around you; his knowledge of the power of caring, compassion, and love in how people _should_ deal with each other, shine through every part of this book.\" - Reg T., reviewing \"Polymath\"\"[A]s always, his characters are carefully drawn and possessed, not so much of paint-on qualities from the Official Palette, but of human values and frailties, the sort one sees far more on your own block than on [random Netflix offering].\" - Charles Hill, reviewing \"Love in the Time of Cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68056285544671,"sku":"9781792113079","price":9.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/m6Tp3bGukZ9781792113079.webp?v=1792122657","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/canapes-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
