The Many Names of Jesus: A Prayer Book in Praise of His Name (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515098560)

Andrew "Andy" Kresha has for many years been on a journey to learn and grow in understanding and love of Jesus Christ. Having been born and raised in rural Nebraska by Catholic Christian parents, he saw the beauty and simplicity in nature and continues to seek to understand the harmony of creation and the oneness of our Creator who has revealed himself as the Holy Trinity. Of particular attraction has been the lives of simple faith in many holy men and women, including Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Lisieux and Bernadette of Lourdes. Kresha's undergraduate degree in theology was from the Pontifical College Josephinum (Columbus, OH) with graduate studies in theology from the University of Dallas and in industrial/organizational psychology from the University of Nebraska-Omaha. After further formation, he was ordained as a permanent deacon in 2004 and presently serves in parish ministry for the Diocese of Phoenix.
