Monaghan A Life by Joseph Pearce
$27.95
Pizza
mogul, sports owner, billionaire, devout Catholic, university
founder, philanthropist.
These
are just a few of the many words that describe Tom Monaghan. The man
who built Domino’s Pizza into an empire, owned the Detroit Tigers,
built a Catholic college, then moved it halfway across the country
and turned it into a university surrounded by a growing city…is all
of those things and more. Much more as both his admirers and
detractors would say.
In
short, like all humans, he is complex. But at his core is an
unwavering Catholicism that has strengthened him amidst adversity and
grounded him amidst prosperity. In this volume, Joseph Pearce, the
preeminent Catholic biographer of our time, traces Monaghan’s life
story from “the gutter to the stars” and, with his own deep
knowledge of and devotion to Catholicism, is able to tell it in such
a way that the reader will realize and appreciate that, despite
missteps along the way, the subject is a man whose greatest desire is
not to be among “the stars,” but rather among the saints in
heaven at the end of his earthly pilgrimage. And that, ultimately,
should be the desire of us all, flawed as we all are.
