Matt Talbot

“…There was nothing remarkable in his taking the pledge. Nothing is easier to take—nor harder to keep. But, one thing leading to another, a sinner can call on a priest, and a sot can become a saint.”

In his fight against alcoholism, poverty, and the turmoil of Irish life at the turn of the century, Matt Talbot leads us to the Mother of God.

“With the few known facts available regarding Matt Talbot’s life, Eddie Doherty, experienced newspaperman and author, weaves an inspiring and dramatic account of the incidents which produced Matt’s great transformation…. This book, like all of Eddie Doherty’s books, is alive with facts and people. The usual Doherty touch is present—punchy sentences and journalistic style.” — Alice M. Nicholson, Books on Trial
