A story is a gift that keeps on giving. Monsignor William J. Linder’s new book, called “Out of the Ashes Came Hope,” is an inspirational and timely story that reveals the inside story of how an organization founded by a small group of concerned citizens grew into one of the largest, most comprehensive community development corporations in the United States. Presently chairman of the board of directors at New Community, Monsignor Linder recounts his childhood growing up West New York, arriving in Newark a young priest fresh out of seminary and experiencing revelation and life transformation as he began his ministry at Queen of Angels Church during the turbulent 1960s. To purchase a paperback copy of “Out of the Ashes Came Hope” and to pick it up at New Community, call Helen Abraha at 973-497-4400 or order online at Amazon (hardback, paperback and ebook available).
