Two Cardinals, five bishops, and scores of Catholic leaders love Surprised by Truth 2 - you will, too!
This collection of testimonies by people who've found new life in the Catholic Church is one of the most potent weapons for the Faith ever crafted! These authors don't just tell their stories - they also give you an insider's view of the fatal weaknesses in the creeds and belief systems that beckon unwary Catholics every day: Fundamentalism, New Age paganism, Mormonism, materialistic hedonism, and many others.
You'll discover why these converts forsook beliefs cherished by their families and friends in order to enter the Catholic Church. Their reasons are so compelling that you can use them to draw your own non-Catholic friends and relatives to the Faith. These converts will also convince your wavering Catholic friends to stay Catholic, and they'll even bolster your own faith when anti-Catholic arguments start to make you doubt. You'll come away with new gratitude that God has given you the Faith, and with a strong new tool you can use to stand proudly for that Faith.
Endorsements
Compelling accounts of conversion. The reader cannot help but be moved by the inspiring stories of those whose hearts and minds were 'surprised' by Truth.
Edward Cardinal Egan
There's hardly a better tool for communicating the fullness of the Catholic Faith than this collection of personal stories.
Marcus Grodi
Excellent and often moving testimony of how God works through His Church to offer hope, comfort, and, of course, truth.
God's grace is tailored to the needs of each individual, but there is also a pattern to God's love. These conversion stories reveal that pattern.
Francis Cardinal George, OMI
This book truly speaks to the hunger of the human heart. I recommend it not only for RCIA programs and adult religious education, but also for the broader scope of parish evangelization efforts.
