The story of a young man’s struggle with the Roman
Catholic Church, his family, his friends, and eventually
himself. This book reads like a novel and is filled with
dialogue and debates with Jesuit priests and others as
the main character searches for the truth, debating and
arguing with both family members and members of the
Catholic clergy. At times he loses his focus as he takes
out his emotional frustrations on those with whom he
debates. Why is he always angry? Why does he refuse to
get close to others? He knows his Bible and yet the peace
he searches for becomes more elusive. This book makes an
excellent evangelistic tool, as the way of salvation is
clearly taught and explained through the book’s action.
This is not the usual Christian inspirational book.
Rather, it is the blunt and difficult story of one man’s
journey from his church to the foot of the cross, and
from self-doubt to self-realization.
The debates with Jesuit priests at Boston College are
unlike anything now in print. The author has lived this
and he has been there. As in most things in life, there
is no substitute for experience. Knowing the mind of the
opposition comes from constant contact with the
opposition, and not from taking a course on the subject.
