Dick Benack's Books

Author Dick Benack intermeshes historic biblical personalities with modern social leaders in fourteen short stories with captivating snap endings. ---------- Prism, Arel and Me is a Monsignor’s reluctant revelation of how a strange meeting in Bethlehem resulted in changes to Diocesan Parish Christmas celebrations on Long Island. Beth portrays the final two days of a young’s Nun’s departure to meet the Man she loves. Father Bernard’s Hummers were a band of teenage Brooklyn girls led into maturity by a studious priest who introduced them to a world they didn’t know. Upside, Downside is a tale of love woven by a young expatriate German bank executive frustrated when his promise to his wife is ending on a New York-bound commuter train. Jeremy Witcomb and the Jefferson Mortgage weaves a ladder of learning to a suburbanite professional who crosses ethnic lines he always avoided. A lady with Style reveals the truism that growing old does not come easy and growing old with no recourses can be terminal. Who is the Priest? Too many years in Diocesan Chancery assignments can lock priestly minds until a fresh approach to service of people is revealed in the words of youth. Abram was his Name introduces the most worldly-renowned youth whose historic contribution to Christian history is told everywhere. Seventeen Miles to Jericho is known as “The Road of Blood” and a daring local resident explains why to a passerby who might remember. Father Blimp’s Affair is one recipient’s testimony to long forgotten contributions made by an elderly priest and forgotten in current exultation by current youth. Is Goodnight Enough? A doctor, called after midnight to confirm the death of his strong-willed parent, must choose between lifetime feelings before daybreak. The Roman Outpost at Cana and events occurring there are thought to be found in a little known shop of trivia in Rome and some scribblings are thought to confirm events there. One Sparrow, One Hawk portrays loving disparity between a Brooklyn boy and a suburban estate girl, both attorneys in Manhattan, and a lifetime of envious competition. Monsignor Commissioner, Pastor Hildreth, a community leader in upscale Mulberry Downs, knows from the first words on his incoming mobile phone whether he is about to adjudicate a religious, political or criminal event. In Hardcover, Softcover and e-Book versions at local bookstores and Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Xlibris. ISBN 978-1-4568-3423-4
