Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the memoir of Msgr. Thomas A. Kleissler, who co-founded RENEW, the first diocese-wide faith-sharing process in the United States. Under Monsignor Kleissler's leadership, the organization now known as RENEW International went on to touch the lives of millions of people all over the world. Against the background of his childhood and early priesthood, Father Kleissler recounts the origins of RENEW amid the social turbulence of the 1960s and its unexpected growth. The author, now retired, also looks forward to the future of RENEW. This story follows Father Kleissler and his staff as they spread RENEW throughout the United States and to Canada, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, helping people of many cultures put their Christian faith to practice in everyday life.
