Description: In this deeply moving narrative, Thomas Howard describes his ì pilgrimage from Evangelicalism (which he loves and reveres as the ì religion of his youth) to liturgical Christianity. He soon ì afterward became a Roman Catholic. He describes Evangelicalism ì with great sympathy and then examines more formal, liturgical ì worship with the freshness of someone discovering for the first ì time what his soul had always hungered for. This is a book of ì apologetics without polemics. Non-Catholics will gain an ì appreciation of the formal and liturgical side of Catholicism. ì Catholics will see with fresh eyes the beauty of their tradition. ì Worship, prayer, the Blessed Virgin, the Mass, and the liturgical ì year are taken one after the other, and what may have seemed ì routine and repetitive suddenly comes to life under the ì enchanting wand of Howard's beautiful prose. Howard unfolds for ì us just what occurs in the vision and imagination of a Christian ì who, nurtured in the earnestness of Protestant Evangelicalism, ì finds himself yearning for "whatever-it-is" that has been there ì in the Church for 2000 years. It traces Howard's soul-searching ì and shows why he believes the practices of the liturgical Church ì are an invaluable aid for any Christian's spiritual life. ì Reminiscent of the style and scope of Newman, Lewis and Knox, ì this book is destined to be a classic.Condition Information: This is a used book and is in Good condition.Quantity currently in Stock: 1
