Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Listen to an interview with featured convert, Holly Ordway: This collection of testimonies by nine former atheists who found new life in the Catholic Church is one of the most helpful tools for cultivating the faith ever crafted Here you'll meet: The atheistic Jew who sparked the conversion of a fellow atheist, and led him into the priesthood.The Nietzsche-loving bodybuilder whose atheism was upended by St. Thomas Aquinas.The hardened, anti-Catholic, neo-Nazi convict who shed his vices and became a celebrated Catholic author.The commune-dwelling hippie socialist who is now a happy Catholic husband and father.The once militant, gay atheist who is now Christ's willing captive.And other prominent members of our Church who, in our generation, have escaped the swamp of atheistic relativism and embraced Holy Mother Church Dramatic and thought-provoking, these intensely personal stories refute virtually every atheistic objection to God while explaining the arguments --and events -- that eventually led them into the Catholic Church.Here you'll encounter proofs for the faith that will confirm your own faith and help you explain it to others, including to atheists. Read and learn: The irrefutable testimony of conscience.Proof that faith is not blind.The facts that baffle evolutionists.The overwhelming failures of materialism.Proof that the Church herself is a miracle.Why consideration of the Big Bang leads to the conversion of so many souls.How both Mary and the male priesthood are not arguments against the Church, but evidence of her holiness.How in all critical areas, the Catholic position is logical, historical, and definitive.Plus scores of other arguments to pry even stubborn souls away from their atheism and show them the beauty of our Faith.Along the way, you will come to learn about proven convert-makers: Thomas Aquinas, Cardinal Newman, Gerard Manley Hopkins, T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the beauty of religious art, the study of the Early Church, . . . and about proven convert-making habits: pious reading, one-on-one conversations, and, above all, prayer and Christian example (are you openly Christian?).These inspiring pages will bring believers gratitude to God for the faith He has given them, and will give them strong new tools to help them stand up proudly for it. Readers struggling with faith will gain new strength to persevere in their search for God, and will be armed with brief prayers to help them do so. Even hard-core atheists will be jarred out of their complacency.All will be moved by the honest drama of these good men and women who, despite many obstacles, chose to be faithful to the truth, and to follow it wherever it led them, even into the arms of the Church.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. For too many decades, our Catholic Church has diluted her distinctive traditions in order to please contemporary culture, losing not only her patrimony but much of her moral authority-just when the world needs it most. Today with our country and our Church suffering their worst crises since the 1960s, distressed American Catholics are understandably hungry for big solutions to their big problems. Fortunately where today so many see only darkness, author Brandon McGinley sees light, arguing that these dire days offer us an opportunity to rescue our Church - if only we have the holy confidence to seize this God-given moment. Unlike many who have responded to these crises, McGinley does not propose that we return to an unrealistically romanticized Catholic past. With painstaking clarity, he unearths what was working - and what wasn't - in the decades before Vatican II, and he shows how genuine Catholic renewal can only emerge from fidelity to our Catholic identity and tradition, applied to the contemporary world. We have everything we need - we have Christ! - but we need the confidence to bring His grace and truth to the world. Here is our roadmap for renewal - a roadmap for families, for schools, for parishes, and, indeed, for the institutional Church. In this crisis, we can complain and despair, or we can seize the opportunity to demonstrate that the Catholic Church is the means to bringing the grace and peace of heaven to earth. Book jacket.…
