 | A Century of Catholic Converts, By Lorene Duquin, softcover, 235 pp. In "A Century of Catholic Converts" Lorene Duquin presents the subtle ways in which the Holy Spirit worked through the lives of these 50 man and women whose search--struggles, questions, and doubts--led them to Catholicism. Read their faith stores and witness the presence of a loving God who never forces, but gently draws each person in a new direction: to an awareness of a Heavenly Father's existence; to a belief in Jesus, as brother; to virtue, to truth, to meaning and purpose; to spiritual comfort and inner peace. These are thumbnail sketches that capture the essence of what changed their hearts; fascinating biographies that can console, encourage, and inspire yours. Up Close and Personal Struggles, Questions, Doubts Soul-searching and Discovery Here are a few of the converts discussed: Tolkien, Maritain, Knox, Chesterton, Dorothy Day, Israel Zolli, Alec Guinness, John Wayne, Dave Brubeck, Dr. Nathanson. softcover, 235 pp. |
