Recent Endorsements for Patrick Madrid's book, Surprised By Truth 2: (Continued) |
|
“Surprised
by Truth 2 is the best Catholic book published in 2000. These 15
new conversion stories are every bit as good as those in the first
Surprised by Truth, perhaps even better. This is a great book to
strengthen and encourage your faith. It is also a perfect gift to
share with your non-Catholic friends and family members. Keep several
copies on hand for those unexpected opportunities to share the Faith.
A highly recommended book.” “Whether
you’re a longtime Catholic, a searching Protestant, or a non-believer,
you’ll be moved by these compelling stories.” “Illustrates
in riveting detail the wonders God is working in His Church. Buy
one for your Catholic friends and another for your non-Catholic
friends!” “These
true stories give remarkable insight into how God works to draw
us to Himself, and increases our confidence in His mercy and truth.
An excellent gift for friends and relatives who have lost their
way." “With
the wide array of conversion stories in this book, most likely there
will be something in at least one of these stories that will strike
home with each reader, convert or not. Great for someone considering
the Catholic Church (or for those we might hope would consider the
Church).” “St.
Frances de Sales, that master Catholic apologist, once noted wisely:
‘You can win more converts with a spoonful of honey than with
a barrelful of vinegar.’ Like its predecessor, this book distills
the sweetness of the Catholic Faith, allowing each new convert to
offer a persuasive spoonful. And like its predecessor, this book
too will no doubt win over thousands to the fullness of Catholic
truth.” “Most
welcome, compelling and gripping. Not only spiritually inspiring
but intellectually stimulating, in helping to provide “an answer
to everyone who asks a reason for the hope that is in you”
(1 Peter 3:15) and thereby reinforcing the faith of Catholics in
our day who may be troubled by post-conciliar disorders and renewed
attacks on Catholic doctrine. There is much in this volume that
is worth quoting and meditating upon. One will not fail to be impressed
with the staunch convictions of the writers, their happiness in
the true fold, and their expressions of charity and kindness toward
former religionists. Patrick Madrid is to be commended for editing
and including his own conversion story in a volume that deserves
the widest dissemination.” “Easily
readable yet stunning stories of God at work in a world that seems
to have largely forgotten the existence of the Almighty. Excellent
backgrounder for persons studying to become Catholic; a refreshing
and uplifting book for those who have grown stale in their belief;
a helpful gift for those who have abandoned Catholicism for a variety
of reasons but are open to being welcomed home.” “Excellent
and often moving testimony of how God works through His Church to
offer the lost hope, comfort, and, of course, truth.” “Good
reading for those seeking faith to guide and comfort them in life
both now and forever.“ “I
have been involved in the ministry of Evangelization for some time
now and this work should be a great help to those involved in this
vital undertaking. These stories of personal journeys are both a
comfort and a challenge to those of us who are reaching out to the
inactive and the unchurched. They should also be a source of affirmation
for everyone working in RCIA, Adult Catechesis and Continuing Education.
My congratulations to Patrick Madrid on this wonderful book.” |
