Guests on Death Comes for the Archbishop
Purple Catholic Saturday Post
Good morning and happy Saturday.
I have an abbreviated newsletter for your this morning since I am travelling to celebrate the wedding of two friends of mine, Sydney and Jack. Please keep them in your prayers.
I am also happy to report that the issues with purchasing Death Comes for the Archbishop from the Purple Catholic Literature Collection on Amazon have been resolved. Without providing much explanation, the book and ebook were blocked from sale in the United States, but this has been resolved.
All book sale proceeds from now through July will be donated to Aid to the Church in Need, who support and advocate for persecuted Christians around the world.
I have provided links to the Purple Catholic Literature Collection editions below since the “paperback” and “Kindle” versions seem to still forward shoppers to versions that are not mine. Only proceeds from the Purple Catholic versions will be donated.
