SPECIAL OFFERS Living the Faith: A Life of Tom Monaghan
Who is Tom Monaghan?
Is he the four-year-old kid whose father died on Christmas Eve and whose mother sent him to an orphanage and then a juvenile detention home?
Is he the entrepreneurial genius who built Domino’s Pizza from a hole-in-the-wall pizzeria in Michigan into an American brand as world-conquering as Ford or Coke?
Is he the religious visionary who sold Domino’s for $1 billion to create an orthodox Catholic university, law school, and special interest law firm with the goal of transforming America to reflect his conservative values?
He’s all that and more. With extensive interviews with friends and enemies plus unprecedented access to the man himself, but wholly without his authorization, Living the Faith illuminates Tom Monaghan, the man and the myth.
Living the Faith is the much-needed, definitive biography of one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in the realms of American business and religion. Through eighteen hard-boiled chapters, journalist James Leonard follows Monaghan on his path from a heartbroken kid who climbed into his father’s coffin to the business tycoon who purchased the world-champion Detroit Tigers and spent a fortune on his own air force, navy, and island to the religious visionary who founded a university to make saints and a public interest law firm to overturn evolution.
A sympathetic but critical perspective of the man and his works, this book is for believers, nonbelievers, and agnostics; for conservatives, liberals, and independents; for the rich, the poor, and the shrinking middle class. Mainly, however, this book is for those who want the facts about Tom Monaghan—and the truth about the effect religion had on one man and the effect that man had on the world.

Tom’s Quest!
By David K. Kilby
James Leonard has fairly captured the essence of the life of Tom Monaghan and written a biography that should keep the reader from dozing off. The role that I played in the early years is reasonably accurate and it was enjoyable to refresh the memory bank. Leonard seemed fixated on Tom’s Quest to “earn his way to heaven” and reasonably so because that seems to be what Tom has come to believe. He is a wonderful Catholic and has/is doing outstanding work to bolster his faith. But, scripture seems clear that man does not get to heaven by good works – not that good works are insignificant. They should be a manifestation of a belief in Jesus Christ. For some it’s just too simple- believe that Jesus is savior and Lord and the gates of heaven are opened. Tom is to be admired for his staunch belief and one must conclude that he clearly does believe in the person of Jesus Christ and so his heaven is assured. I look forward to our reunion!

This book about Tom Monahan was written very good. The book was shipped, to order, arrived when it was stated and the price was right. I recommend it to anyone that new the subject, or worked with him or is wanting to live the faith!
