Recently, we had the honor of sitting down with Michael O’Brien in person to discuss his novels, paintings, and history as an artist. Michael O’Brien is well-known as the author of best sellers such as “Father’s Tale,” “Fr. Elijah,” “Lighthouse,” and much more.  Today’s episode is just the first of several episodes, where he shares his unexpected call to become a writer and what he believes the purpose and power of novels are in the modern world.
