Great book

This is a wonderful book that shows how God can work in anyone's life, as long as they are striving to do His will. One of the best collections of conversion stories I have read.

Not just for the ladies

I love to read conversion stories of all types. These are some of the best. At 10-15 pages each, they are short enough to read at one sitting, yet long enough for the author to really tell her story. Let me assure my fellow males, you will enjoy this book. It's not just for ladies.

Informative and Inspiring

This book describes the faith journeys and struggles of 14 women who were lead by the Lord to the fullness of the Catholic Church. Reading the stories further enhanced my own appreciation for my Catholic faith. When reading this book I learned about the struggles of the authors and even more about my Catholic faith and the former faith traditions of the authors.

Perhaps the Greatest Witness to the Catholic Faith!

This is a great book containing the personal stories of fourteen women, many of whom were ministers or priests in other Christian Church's but left that behind in order to become Catholic. This meant the loss of their position!What would lead fourteen highly educated women to leave their careers behind? This is what makes up The Catholic Mystique and makes it a page turner. I read through the whole book in one sitting!
