At the Door of the Church: First Steps for Revert & Convert Catholics Is a personal journey turned guidebook, crafted with heartfelt honesty specifically for those stepping into the Catholic faith for the first time, or returning after a long time away. I share my own story openly, hoping to resonate with anyone who's felt distant, uncertain, or skeptical about Catholicism. In this book, I explain the essentials of Catholic belief; from the Holy Trinity and the beauty of the sacraments, to common questions about mortal and venial sins, confession, and attending Sunday Mass. I also walk you through the liturgical year, highlighting key seasons such as Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, along with practical ways to live out each season in your daily life. Going beyond the basics, I'll introduce you to meaningful Catholic traditions you might not yet know about, such as Ember Days, the use of sacramentals, and a clear explanation of indulgences. Additionally, I explore devotions like First Fridays and First Saturdays, showing how these practices can help nurture a deeper personal relationship with Jesus and Mary. Whether you're a new convert, a curious seeker, or returning after a long absence, I invite you to step confidently and joyfully back through the doors of the Church with me, experiencing firsthand the richness and transformative beauty of the Catholic faith.
