Confessions of a Convert - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Written by an author that Pope Francis recommended everybody should read, Confessions of a Convert is the classic spiritual autobiography of one man’s unique journey to find Catholicism.

As the youngest son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Hugh Benson grew up as an Anglican, but through the course of his life he was drawn towards the Catholic faith.

This remarkable story is explained in beautiful detail, from his intense personal struggles to his overwhelming desire to find the truth.

Benson pays homage to those who influenced his spiritual journey, not just those of the Roman Catholic church but also those of his childhood and development in the fold of the Anglican world.

“There is little that Mgr. Benson has written that is not worth reading and rereading ... His imagination is essentially visual: he sees things; and his sight is so minute and accurate that his readers cannot fail to see what he sees.” The Ecclesiastical Review

“Monsignor Benson’s account of the processes of his conversion from the Anglicanism in which he was bred to ‘the Roman obedience’ must be ranked among the more notable examples of its type of literature.” Princeton Theological Review
