Can I please find out about buying the book The Man who threatened Rome. I would love a copy fora Christmas Present and would need to have it mailed down to me. I am happy of course to pay postage. I am a avid follower of your community via this web page and am very excited about the book. Well done to you all. Just a little story to share that may make you smile. Recently I attended a meeting and brought lots of people with me because an announcement was made that the guest speaker was a Fr. Peter Kennedy. “How exciting!” I thought …… meet Fr Peter in person!! So along I went and along they came ( the friends I had invited to meet him too) but alas …when the man himself appeared it was not the very Fr Peter Kennedy but another one. (this one from Adelaide) yes…..I had mistakenly thought it was your very own. I was a bit embarrassed as I had rallied the troups to come. But after a lovely night with the “other Fr. Peter Kennedy” I learned one very important thing. There is more than one “Fr Peter Kennedy’s” I still giggle about it when I think of the look on my friends faces when they realised I had made a mistake and got them there under false pretences. Lucky we have a good sense of wonder and the evening was fine as the other Peter Kennedy was a gentle man with a good message. Thought this might make you laugh too ( as even in his absence and without his knowlege people come to see him when he isnt even there!) With love and kindest regards Carmel Hanlon ( Lake Macquarie NSW)

Carmel,
I never knew that there was another Fr Peter Kennedy either, probably won’t hurt to have a few more. I will relate this story to Peter. If you are able to send your postage details then we will send a book to you.
All the best

Very disappointing book Peter, full of negativity and agenda based, I think having a cold shower and a strong scotch would have served you better.. Good Luck anyway.
