Product Overview
by Robert R. Mehling In Mea Saurus: An Artists Confessions, Robert R. Mehling discusses his life in terms of his religious beliefs. Recently shaken by the death of his mother, he takes this opportunity to make a long-overdue confession and return to the Catholic Church, just in case its not all bull and Moms in heaven.
