On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, Father James Martin joins us with his new memoir, Work in Progress: Confessions of a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and priest. Father Jim is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication, and host of The Spiritual Life podcast. His books include Learning to Pray, Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. In this conversation filled with humility and humor, Father Jim reminisces about the summer jobs that prepared him for his calling to the priesthood.
