from the publisher - the perfect book for those who are seeking to learn more about the Catholic faith and for those who may have become disenchanted with the Church or perhaps even with God over the years. This book opens a dimension to their lives that can only come from discovering what it means to feel "at home" in the Church, a dimension of faithful living that readies the believing heart to receive the abundant life God offers.
