Women in Search of Truth by Jennifer Ferrara
$14.95
There are Catholics and non-Catholics alike who take it as truth that the Catholic Church is no place for a self-respecting, intelligent woman.
Authors Jennifer Ferrar and Patricia Sodano Ireland disagree.
Both were ordained Lutheran ministers. Both became Roman Catholics. The Catholic Mystique tells their stories - and the stories of more than a dozen other educated, articulate, accomplished women who found fulfillment in the Church.
While the contributors to this book came from a wide variety of religious, ethnic, socio-economic, and professional backgrounds, these firsthand accounts share a common theme. All experienced a sense of restlessness and profound feelings of unfulfillment, until they finally came to rest in the bosom of the Church.
Time and again, it was the Churchs clear and uncompromising stance on the sanctity of human life that first attracted a womans attention, and then captured her heart.
"The Value of these moving testimonies lies in the fact that, however different each womans background might be or how varied the obstacles to faith, one dominant note prevails: Gods grace and that, as St. Augustine expressed so powerfully in his Confessions, all souls are made for Him and 'are restless until they rest in Him.'" From the Foreword by Alice von Hildebrand
