Books
For Those Considering Either Converting or
Returning to the Catholic Church
(Book Titles Linked to supplier)
“Rome Sweet Home”
– Scott & Kimberly Hahn (Former Presbyterian Pastor)
This is a must
read for anyone contemplating becoming Catholic. It is a book that is hard to put down once
you begin reading the first page. It
emphasizes the struggles it takes to become Catholic leaving behind years of a
life in the Protestant faith. It also
speaks of the struggles of a marriage in the throes of disarray due to the
conversion of Scott to the Catholic faith before Kimberly. As Cardinal John J. O’Conner said “A moving
story of faith and a reminder that the truths of the Catholic Church –
especially Humanae Vitae – continue to speak to
hearts that are open.

“I’m Not Being Fed!”
Discovering the Food that Satisfies the Soul – Jeff Cavins
(Former Protestant Pastor)
This book is
written by a Catholic, who had left the church in his early twenties because as
most of us who left did, felt the church was not a “nourishing” faith. As noted on the jacket “Jeff Cavins explores the reasons why many Catholics do not seem
to understand and appreciate the Holy Eucharist – and why some have even left
the Church, saying that they simply weren’t being “fed” and that they longed
for a more personal, “spiritually nourishing” relationship with Jesus”. Cavins human
interest stories and humor make this book once to have on a shelf for future
reference.

“While You Were
Gone” – Fr. William J. Bausch
This is a
“Handbook for Returning Catholics and those thinking about it”. This book will explain the changes that have
taken place within the church since Vatican II.
It is an easy read and will provide one with “what is different in the
Church today, as well as how and why these changes came about”. It reminds the reader of what the church once
was taking them through Vatican II and some of the future issues facing the
church.

“The Catholic
Response” – Very Reverend Peter M.J. Stravinskas, Ph.D., S.T.D.
This book is
more of an apologetic type of book for those struggling with how to answer and
defend the faith to those who have misconceptions of Catholic beliefs or
doctrines of the Church. This book was
written in response to the negative Fundamentalist messages publically being
spoken against the Catholic Church with emphasis on a response to letters
written by Jimmy Swaggert to his “Catholic Friends”.
It is an easy read and will provide the Catholic with proper ways to answer the
sometimes difficult questions or comments one may be exposed to from
well-meaning Protestant encounters.

“Thoughts for the
Journey Home” – Marcus C. Grodi
(Former Presbyterian Pastor)
Marcus Grodi is a well-known author and lecturer and appears on
the EWTN with the Coming Home Network. This book is a collection of his essays on
his journey of faith which is described as “personal struggles with doubt,
anxiety about the future, vocational guidance, and problems that may arise in
relationships with loved ones”. He
addresses both “intellectual issues” of the Catholic faith as well as
“spiritual issues involving Marian devotion” as well as other topics of a
sacramental nature. This book is also
easy to read, spoken from his heart and will inspire those contemplating either
a return to the Faith or converting from another denomination.

“The Privilege of
Being Catholic”, by Father Oscar Lukefahr,
C.M.
This book is an
overview of what Catholics believe and as the back cover says: "With
reverence for Tradition and Scripture, Father Lukefahr
explains what the sacramental principle is, how it is based on the Incarnation
of Jesus Christ, and how this unique perspective makes the Catholic faith
distinct among faiths." At the end of each chapter are questions for
discussion and then a reflection indicating this book could be used in a group
setting or easily done individually as well. It is easy to read and empowers
one with the ability to be able to explain the Catholic faith to those who
might be thinking of becoming Catholic.
