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.

Download or read book Confessions of a Convert written by Robert Hugh Benson and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 128 pages. 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: Excerpt from Confessions of a Converted Infidel: With Lights and Shades of Itinerant Life, and Miscellaneous Sketches The days of my childhood and youth were Spent in the ancient borough of newcastle-under lyme, in the county of Stafford, Old England. My mother was a pious member of the Church of England, and I was baptized by the Rev. Clement Leigh, the rec tor, when I was only six days old. One of the heaviest calamities that can befall a child came upon me in my fourth year. My mother sank into a pre mature grave, and left five children to the bufi'etings of a world of wickedness and woe. My father was an infidel, an admirer of Paine, Volney, Voltaire, and others of their class; and soon after my mother's death he became (oh, how I grieve when I write it) an intemperate man. Some of my earliest recollec tions with regard to this point are of the most pain ful character, and the scenes and incidents of my early days were such as even now to throw back their long shadows of gloom upon my spirit when.

Download or read book Classic Catholic Converts written by Charles P. Connor and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 226 pages. 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 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.

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.
