Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of a Convert The following chapters were first published, in substance, in the American Catholic magazine, the "Ave Maria," in 1906-1907, and it is by the kind permission of the Editor, Father Hudson, that they are now reprinted, with a few additions and corrections. During the time that has elapsed since their serial appearance, the writer has received a very large number of applications that they should be issued in book form; and after long hesitation, he has acceded to these requests. He hesitated partly because it appeared to him really doubtful whether their issue would be of any real service at all, partly because he occasionally contemplated adding considerably to them, and annexing to them further "confessions of a convert" since his conversion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of a Convert, From Baptism in Water to Baptism With Water "Who is the author of Confessions of a Convert?" "Who is Mr. B.?" "Who is Mr. R.?" "Is the book fact or fiction?" These are questions which curiosity may ask, but which, for sundry reasons, cannot now be answered. There is, however, one query to which a reply may be returned; - it is this, "Why have these 'Confessions' been published to the world?" Not, certainly, because works on the main subject to which they relate are either scarce or unsatisfactory. Writers, such as Edwards, Ewing, Wardlaw, Thorn, Halley, and Godwin, have left but scanty gleaning in this well-trodden field of controversy for any of their successors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentioned by Pope Francis as a writer whom everyone should read, Robert Hugh Benson, author of Lord of the World, shares his spiritual journey from being an Anglican and son of the archbishop of Canterbury to becoming a Roman Catholic priest. Through his humble, honest, and memorable story, Benson invites us—in this republished classic—to think about what it means to wrestle with the deep questions of our Catholic faith while rejoicing in the power of their universal truths. In 1907, The Ave Maria magazine invited well-known English novelist Robert Hugh Benson to share his conversion story. He began the first of eight installments with a statement that captures the perils and joys faced by converts as they attempt to "cross the Tiber." "When one stands at last upon high ground, it is extraordinarily difficult to trace the road by which one has approached: it winds, rises, falls, broadens and narrows until the mind is bewildered." Benson weaves those challenges into Confessions of a Convert as he examines his own life for the signs and wonders that illuminated his way. He was astonished at how the remote God of his Anglican upbringing drew close to him, igniting a fire in his to heart and a desire to know God on a deeper level. This transformation led him to the doorstep of the Catholic Church. Reluctant to venture further because he was known as an important figure in the Anglican world, Benson grappled with the sacrifices he would make, including the loss of his vocation, family, and friends. After the death of his father, Benson finally embraced the nearness of God found in the Eucharist. He shows us that coming closer to Christ and his Church is not always neat and tidy. Benson’s humor and humility help bridge the century-long gap between his time and ours and he teaches us to embrace the questions, struggles, and falterings of our faith in a way that’s full of God’s love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Catholic Converts presents the compelling stories of over 25 well-known converts to Catholicism from the 19th and 20th centuries. It tells of powerful testimonials to God's grace, men and women from all walks of life in Europe and America whose search for the fullness of truth led them to the Catholic Church. It is the witness of brilliant intellectuals, social workers, scientists, authors, film producers, clergy, businessmen, artists and others who, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, studied and prayed their way into the Church. Fr. Charles Connor writes insightful and wonderfully readable stories of a rich variety of converts who struggled greatly with many challenges as they embraced Catholicism, including rejection by loved ones, persecution from strangers, and misunderstanding by peers. But, once they responded to God's call, they experienced great inner peace, contentment and joy. Among the famous converts whose stories are told here include John Henry Newman, Edith Stein, Jacques Maritain, Dorothy Day, G.K. Chesterton, Elizabeth Seton, Karl Stern, Ronald Knox and many more. "A great gift at a moment of history when conversions to the Catholic Church are receiving renewed attention. Marvelously readable stories highlight the vivid diversity of the personalities and the unity of the truth that still brings restless souls into full communion with the Church of Jesus Christ." Rev. Richard John Neuhaus Editor, First Things "This fine parade of men and women, described with insight by Father Connor, shows how long is the reach of the Holy Spirit and how varied are the personalities He has gathered to Himself." Rev. George W. Rutler Author, A Crisis of Saints "The touching conversion stories that Fr. Connor so concisely presents convey the joys as well as the struggles that converts continue to experience on their journey into the Catholic Church." Marcus C. Grodi President, The Coming Home Network "This book reminds 'cradle Catholics' of the pearl of great price that is ours and should motivate many of us to a sharper sense of evangelization as the new Millennium begins. Rich information and valuable insights abound-highly recommended!" Most Reverend Edwin F. O'Brien Archbishop for the Military Services Fr. Charles Connor, a pastor of a parish in the diocese of Scranton, PA, is an expert in Church history. He is the host of several television series on EWTN including Historic Catholic Converts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of a Converted Infidel: With Lights and Shades of Itinerant Life, and Miscellaneous Sketches Without money, with scarcely a friend in the world, except my two sisters and a brother, who all needed friends as much or more than myself, with no edu cation, save the merest rudiments of reading and writing in my mother tongue, and with a delicate physical constitution, I was at an early age thrown into the world to earn my bread by the sweat of my brow, and in my leisure hours to grapple with ques tions about life, death, immortality, God, heaven, and hell. I was like a poor, puny child a oat on a wide, wide sea, without apparent strength or help to make a far-off shore. What a mercy that my frail little bark did not go down under the shock Of some ruthless wave. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recantation: Or the Confessions of a Convert to Romanism: A Tale of Domestic and Religious Life in Italy This volume is a reprint of one published in London during the last year. A friend placed it in the hands of the Editor, because from his acquaintance with the scenes in which the story is laid, and the opportunities he had enjoyed of gaining some knowledge of the tone of thought and feeling prevailing in Italian society, it was believed he might be able to decide on the justness of its claims to be taken as a faithful picture. The writer states that "the following pages were penned from notes taken during a residence of upwards of two years in Tuscany and the Papal States; during which she had opportunities, that rarely fall to the lot of the casual traveller, of personally witnessing the scenes, and many of the conversations which she describes." To the fidelity of her descriptions of places, the Editor can bear his unhesitating testimony. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "This narrative of the first half of Augustine's life conjures the intellectual and social milieu of the late Roman Empire with a Proustian relish for detail." -- New York Times In Augustine, celebrated historian Robin Lane Fox follows Augustine of Hippo on his journey to the writing of his Confessions. Unbaptized, Augustine indulged in a life of lust before finally confessing and converting. Lane Fox recounts Augustine's sexual sins, his time in an outlawed heretical sect, and his gradual return to spirituality. Magisterial and beautifully written, Augustine is the authoritative portrait of this colossal figure at his most thoughtful, vulnerable, and profound.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 397 A.D., St. Augustine's classic, Confessions, reveals the innermost thoughts and struggles of a soul converting from selfishness and pleasure-seeking to a life of love for God. Augustine of Hippo (345-430 A.D.) was born in North Africa to a devoutly Christian mother and pagan father. Of Latin stock, Augustine was given Christian instruction but waited until later in life to be baptized. Augustine took a mistress who bore him a son before he was eighteen. Augustine's sexual appetite drove him to seek pleasure where he could find it, but it also plagued his consience. His hunger for religious things led him through many of the belief systems of the day, including Manichaeism and Neoplatonism. Augustine finally turned to God in 386 A.D. when he heard a child say, "take, read" a copy of Paul's letter to the Romans. Upon his conversion to Christianity, Augustine became a prodigious writer, with his writings standing second only to the apostle Paul in their impact on the church. He died as Bishop of Hippo in North Africa. Confessions is the autobiography of Augustine of Hippo, a moving and profound record of a human soul and its struggles. The most widely read of all his works, it not only tells the story of Augustine's struggle in the faith, but also his love for the Master. Confessions speaks to the heart of humanity about human weakness, human frailty, human depravity, and the human need for a holy God. This classic is an exercise in self-knowledge and true humility in the atmosphere of grace and reconciliation. Book jacket.

If you intend by it to speak of an Almighty Power, then we agree; but if by it you mean only the creation itself with its several laws and operations, then you jumble cause and effect together. Eh how 18 this? Let me see. The laws and operations of Nature distinct from Nature herself? Well, I begin to see what you mean go on.
