There are two authors that you will see a lot of my opinions from - Paulo Coelho and the one and only Scott Hahn.
Yes "Rome Sweet Home" is this first Scott Hahn book I ever read. The simplicity of his writing is what first allows you to sit for an entire weekend and read a book. (This is coming from someone who never used to read much).
This book is a book about the journey one man took to coming home to the Catholic Faith.
As a good student of "science" I took a completely different route to Scott Hahn, but the journey's were similar. Unlike Scott Hahn who in his book he very careful describes his complete abhorrence for anything Roman Catholic, I started my journey in the Catholic Church.
Hahn shares with his readers what he called in one of his speaking sessions, a detective story, the horror story and then the love story. He shares the journey of his youth, his studies of religion, theology and most importantly he shares the fact that the last thing he'd ever be is a Roman Catholic. Ironically if you think about it being a Roman Catholic is the last "thing" Scott Hahn is.
For those Catholics who have drifted away or for those who don't believe the truths that are inherent in the Catholic Church, I recommend this book.
Even if you as a Catholic struggle with certain teachings this book and many other of Scott Hahn's books help us all understand the very deep meaning and "evidence" so to speak of Our Faith.
Critics of the Catholic Church need to read and meet Scott Hahn, because after reading this book I didn't think they was anyone in the world who was more opposed to the Catholic Church than him. His book details the research, the journey, the challenges he faced on his journey back home to Rome.
