Returning Home to Your Catholic Faith: An Invitation

By Sally L. Mews

Book Overview

Returning Home to Your Catholic Faith addresses with honesty and compassion the fears, hurts, and guilt that many inactive Catholics feel when they first consider returning to the Church. A brief, to-the-point presentation of issues always stress God's mercy; most people who leave and later return do so as part of the process of maturing. Practical tips on how to reconnect with the Church are included. The section on what the Church is like today is a reassuring overview of the opportunities available in a parish.

Customer Reviews

Buy this book.

Sally Mews presents a nonjudgmental, conversational and casual invitation for inactive and non-practicing Catholics to return to the church. This book is a very simple, quick and concise read, yet it packs a powerful and concise message. Filled with anecdotes and stories of people who have left the Church for one reason or another yet have the gut instinct or desire to return, her message is simple and positive. As a "non-reader," I finished this book in one sitting, and was inspired to begin attending mass again, the first in a series of baby steps to return to the church. I recommend this book without hesitation.
