I received this book and struggled through it. I am not Catholic, so was not my cup of tea. ( )This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Great book for any Catholic looking to grow in their faith. There is alot of truth in here that not everyone would agree with, but if you believe everything the Church believes you should agree with it. Archbishop Chaput discusses the Catholic faith in todays world from a very theoretical point of view. Many thought are very pertinent aqnd honest but many come from a person who has not been in the trecnches. He is not even willing to discuss , in the book , why people are the way they are or why they make different choices. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Strangers in a Strange Land is both a depressing and an inspiring book. I think that many of us have a sense that American society is rapidly devolving, and from a Christian perspective it’s not difficult to draw a line between that decline and the gleeful haste with which much of that society is attempting to abandon God. But it is dispiriting to see the connections drawn out and defined clearly, as Archbishop Chaput does here. Truth be told, I struggled to get through the first part of this book because I hated to be think of what is happening around us. But, of course, Chaput continues with a note of hope, reminding us of how we as a Christian people are to face such challenges and to be light in a darkening world. Recommended. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I quickly scanned this book, but intend to dig into it. This is part of my reading for Lent 2017. As a "cradle Catholic," I can identify with the author's viewpoint. I recently read an editorial in a Catholic archdiocesan newspaper. The article addressed "faith shaming," a practice that derides people for openly expressing their faith. I have had this experience, so found this book to be of interest, since it fits the theme.ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The archbishop of Philadelphia presents a hopeful treatise for Catholics on how to live the faith with confidence in today's post-Christian culture while evaluating the reasons behind declining Catholic numbers. No library descriptions found. |
