Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism by Peter Kreeft, Scott Hahn, Kimberly Hahn
5.0
A friend at work and I were discussing Pope Francis, Catholicism, the Reformation, her being a "recovering Catholic" or "ex-Catholic" and something in our conversation reminded me about this book. I forgot that I had read it, at least for purposes of adding it to my goodreads shelf. So when I brought it to work to trade books with my colleague, it occurred to me to see if I'd marked it as read. I hadn't.
Anyway, my wife discovered this book and read it. It was powerful affirmation for her as she also had a powerful, soul-searching, and amazing journey from Protestantism to Catholicism when we were dating. I gobbled this book up as well, and felt the warm glow of convergence of thought, despite the author being a complete stranger to me.
I recommend this book to anyone who is searching for answers to questions they have about organized religion, Christianity, Catholicism, and Church authority. I also recommend this book to practicing and non-practicing Catholics as it may help in some way their faith journeys as it did mine.
One humorous afterthought: this was an 'easy' Hahn book to read. It was enjoyable and fast-paced. I tried another of his books and found it not so 'easy'--it was DEEP. Not bad, just takes theology beyond the personal journey and into the deep roots, branches and trunk of Christianity!
