Overview

From beloved spiritual writer and Catholic leader Gregory Floyd comes a moving meditation on the power of memory and how God is often more clearly seen when we look back. This is a book about memory, about what stays in the mind, and why. It is a book about the presence of God in our lives and the sights, sounds, words, and experiences that become unforgettable. Beginning with a single word he heard in the middle of the night—one that changed his life—this powerful memoir by Gregory Floyd asks the question: without memory, who are we? It is a meditation on beauty, marriage, family, and prayer, asking of the memories that each implants: what do they reveal? Where do they lead? —and witnessing to their potential to draw us to God.

Praise for the Print Edition

Gregory Floyd has fashioned a fine spiritual memoir, tracing how one man could hear the call of Jesus as a teenager, and strive to answer that call as a student, husband, father, believer. Unforgettable is just that, helping us to see how we can come to know, love, and serve God through the everyday ups and downs of our lives.

—Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York

Gregory Floyd’s writing is like salve for the soul, full of love for others and a humility that comes with life’s experiences. I not only discovered many lessons for my own life, but I encountered the beauty of a God who forgets and wipes away all of my sins.

—Jeff Smith, President, The Word Among Us

Unforgettable is beautifully written, emotionally wrenching, and important.

—Ron Hansen, novelist, Mariette in Ecstasy
