Warren J Lacoste

The Market Street Priest Warren J Lacoste

Warren LaCoste retired from the priesthood and moved into medical surgical sales. He thought his days of ministering to people's spiritual needs were over. LaCoste was wrong. As a salesman, LaCoste developed a new ministry counseling the people he encountered in his new line of work. In Market Street Priest, Warren recounts some of the moving encounters he had that earned him the trust, confidence and, yes, even love of those whom he helped in his 20 years sales career. LaCoste spent his sales career in south Louisiana. The names of the characters have been changed to protect their privacy, but the stories and encounters are as fresh and moving as if they were happening today. LaCoste's stories include everything from light-hearted banter to deep discussions of theology. Market Place Street is not a traditional religious book; instead, it is a book of personal encounters involving people in spiritual crisis who turn to a trusted friend for advice and consolation. Most didn't suspect that they were turning to a retired priest.
