A Single Day of Peace takes the reader on a fictional journey between two seemingly opposite worlds: the corporate business landscape of New York City and the austere Catholic Church. The protagonist demonstrates how the values and qualities needed to live a meaningful life do not come from the rules and social norms instilled by either world but rather from 50 guiding principles the author clearly lays out. The unique methodology of using a fictional storyline to provide self-help to the reader will appeal to readers young and old.

I have known Stephen for years and his spiritual principles shine through in all he does. Now in his book, he shares the philosophies that have guided him. In an age where many of us are questioning our religion, our faith, and our purpose, it is paramount we reconnect with our spirituality. Stephen's book will help you do just that-and you will be a better person because of it.

This novel needs to be made into a movie! Matt Damon would kill the scenes as a Catholic Priest on a mission to revive faith. The appearances with Jimmy Fallon and on 60 Minutes transcend entertainment. While I am a Latter-day Saint, I promised Stephen I'd withhold my theological views and simply put on my "editor" hat. That said, A SINGLE DAY OF PEACE would make an inspiring and entertaining movie.

I read about 50 books a year, and this was one of the best in a long time. I was so engaged in the story, that I had to keep reminding myself that it was a fictional story. Many religious denominations would benefit from the book's suggestions. Stephen's book will leave you feeling positive, inspired, uplifted, and ready to take on the world.

A thought-provoking and inspiring read on spirituality. Balancing a new perspective on traditional Catholic tenets with practical business acumen. A Single Day of Peace brings you much more than peace, but a tranquil harmony between spirituality and business purpose.

I'm not a particularly religious person and I feel this book hits the issues of the church perfectly. The controversial topics keep you fixated. It provided me with a desire to look inside myself to create a more fulfilling and successful life. The book's message and guidance will resonate very well with my peers.
