Praise for Joseph Bevan's Memoirs
"Joseph Bevan traces this family's voyage through the choppy waters of Church life in England in the last decades. In recalling these years, the author chronicles the collapse of the liturgy and of religious life, and gives examples of decadence in Church music and the effect this had on the practice of the Faith for himself and his family. Frank about his own shortcomings and realistic about the current crises in the Church, Joseph seeks a solution to modern ills. He finds this in a renewed immersion in Catholic tradition, doctrine, and practice. Two Families is an engaging and honest work." -The Right Reverend Dom Cuthbert Brogan, OSB, Abbot of St. Michael's Abbey, Farnborough
"Wise, amusing, and beautifully written, Bevan shares not only the secrets to a well-lived Catholic life that has borne abundant good fruit, but also invaluable insights into the extent of the crisis facing the Church. Recalling the ups and downs he and his wife Clare faced in raising ten children as the post-conciliar Church steadily imploded, Bevan is candid and incisive in his analysis, offering much-needed hope and guidance not only to Catholic families but to all Catholics serious about their faith." -Edward Pentin, Senior Contributor, National Catholic Register
"The Bevan family are well known throughout his native Somerset and, indeed, in England and internationally, for their musical talent as a family choir. Joseph's lifelong career in church music has given him an insider's perspective on the liturgical revolution that took place after the Second Vatican Council. A mixture of nostalgia and realism, historical charm and contemporary comment, the story carries the reader along whilst providing insight into a most unusual time in the history of two families, a country, a Church, and a world." -James Bogle, barrister, retired army officer, former President of the Una Voce Federation
"These memoirs by Mr Joseph Bevan remind faithful Catholics that the only certain means of preserving the faith today is to follow what we must unfortunately call 'Traditional Catholicism' (as if any other kind should exist!), which begins with the traditional family." -Anthony P. Stine, Return to Tradition Podcast
