Through the Eyes of John H Brennan - Circle of Love

What if every ordinary moment of your life was part of a much greater plan?
In this moving memoir, John H. Brennan invites readers to walk with him through the joys and struggles of family life, the quiet strength of Catholic faith, and the surprising encounters with God's mercy that have marked his journey. From growing up in a tight-knit Irish family in upstate New York, to the challenges of fatherhood and a demanding career at Corning, to brushes with death that left him clinging to prayer, John reveals how the "circle of love" handed down by his parents has guided him at every step.
At the heart of his story are powerful encounters that testify to God's nearness — a mysterious stranger named Julio, the witness of a little girl named Bella whose joy in suffering touched thousands, and the quiet but constant presence of the Blessed Mother, always pointing to her Son.
This is not just one man's story. It is an invitation to reflect on your own. Each chapter ends with Scripture and questions for prayer, helping you recognize God's hand in your past and hear His call in your present.
Whether you are Catholic or Protestant, lifelong believer or just beginning to wonder, this book will inspire you to see your life through new eyes — and to discover that in every sorrow, every joy, and every encounter, the circle of God's love is drawing you closer to Him.
