THE MISSIONARY OF WALL STREET From Managing Money to Saving Souls on the Streets of New York by STEPHEN F. AUTH

Description

What is a senior executive with one of the country’s largest money managers, doing hailing down strangers at night on the streets of New York City? “Are you Catholic?” my friends and I ask. “Would you like a rosary? Would you like to go to confession here night?” “Are you kidding?” responds one man. “We’re needed here,” we say. “This city needs Jesus, too. It needs His love.” We’re in our groove now, engaging strangers with joy–and seeing some of them later in church. On the rough streets of the city, working shoulder to shoulder with Christ, we’re no longer alone; we feel God’s grace. You will , too, as you read the dozens of riveting–and often funny–stories in these pages, about ordinary Catholics from the financial sector evangelizing their wary New York neighbors. Indeed, so fascinating are their experiences that you may be tempted one day to join them. Paper.
