Surprised by Truth 2: 15 More Converts Give the Biblical and Historical Reasons for Becoming Catholic
by Patrick Madrid In this best-selling sequel to Surprised by Truth, Patrick Madrid brings you the powerful stories of 15 more converts to the Catholic Church — men and women who’ve found new life and the fullness of Christianity in the Catholic Church. Like its predecessor, Surprised by Truth 2 is one of the most potent weapons for promoting the truths of the Faith ever crafted. These converts don’t just tell their stories — they also give you an insider’s view of the fatal weaknesses in the creeds and belief systems that beckon unwary Catholics every day: Fundamentalism, New Age paganism, Mormonism, atheism, materialistic hedonism, and others. You’ll discover why these converts forsook beliefs cherished by their families and friends in order to enter the Catholic Church. Their reasons are so compelling that Catholics can use them to draw their own non-Catholic friends and relatives to the Faith. These converts will also convince wavering Catholics to stay Catholic, and they’ll bolster the faith of Catholics when anti-Catholic arguments start to make them doubt. Readers will come away with new gratitude to God for the Catholic Faith, and with a strong new tool they can use to stand proudly for that Faith. $19.99/ This book is available from Patrick Madrid's store website. |

Surprised by Truth 3: 10 More Converts Explain the Biblical and Historical Reasons for Becoming Catholic
by Patrick Madrid Ten more former Protestants tell why they converted to the Catholic Church! In these dramatic and thought-provoking testimonies, ten men and women reveal why they changed their minds about Protestantism and entered the Catholic Church. These life-changing stories will do for you what these converts had to do for themselves: answer the most common objections to the Catholic Faith — and answer them in terms that non-Catholics find familiar and easy to understand. These stories will remind you of the critical truth that all converts know but most others forget: churches must not be judged by the weakness of their members, but by the truth of what they teach. The closer these former Protestants looked at Catholicism, the more they found that Christ’s truth is taught in its fullness only in the Catholic Church. No wonder this book is a convert maker. But these stories do more than make converts. If you’re already Catholic, they help you explain your Faith to non-Catholics and leave you prouder and more grateful than ever to be in Christ’s Church. $19.99/ This book is available from Patrick Madrid's store website. |
