Coming Home

[CathyMary]

I really dont know where to begin .
I was born and baptized catholic.
I converted ti Islam 8 years ago. Before I met my husband.
He is a wonderful man whom I do love.
He is a non religious Muslim who trys to make himself distant from other Muslims, he does not like any Muslims and I guess this was a blessing for me.He does not force religion on me in any way, he never did.

I feel Jesus is calling me home.

I can get some advice? I feel Islam is more of a habit, I still have questions about some things but for now I am going to read the NT and go on from there.
. And I have a nook can someone suggest some good books for me.
Thanks.
You cam pm or email me if you wish.
Blessings.

Not sure what kinds of books you are looking for. Perhaps you could read something from the saints? I really enjoy St Francis de Sales Introduction to the Devout Life.

Would you feel comfortable calling the priest in your local parish to talk more about your situation?

‘Journey’s home’ by Marcus Grodi is apparently a very good book

Hi CathyMary,

I really liked your thread Coming Home.

I would like to send you an article I posted at CAF (Bible Study-our journey with God) recently. It’s too long to post here; I’ll post it to you privately in **two parts **just as I did previously at CAF. It might help you in your studies of the New Testament.

I wish you and your husband every blessing in this and all your endeavours.

2 Cor 13:13

1. Rome Sweet Home by Scott and Kimberley Hahn
   One of the greatest stories explaining their search for a church and understanding
   individual faith issues they had to satisfy. When reading this I became aware of just
   how much I took my faith for granted, and made me appreciate more what
   had been handed to me at no cost. My personal thanks to God just zoomed up by
   1000%.
2. Surprised by Truth, edited by Patrick Madrid
   This comprises 11 convert stories on the order of Scott Hahn’s story that are soul
   wrentching. Here is a sample of some of the topics discussed and explained in this book:

• Apostolic tradition preserved and proof
• Infant baptism
• Real presence and Mass
• Upon this Rock and Peter
• Pope’s infallibility, head, and misconceptions
• Abortion
• Repitious prayers
• Why church infallibility is necessary, and authority
• The firstborn
• Sola Scriptura
• Wrong impressions by protestants
• Confession
• Birth control
• Communion of saints
• Mary
• Works necesary
• Justification and salvation
• Mortal and venial sins
  A many of the thin line issues are also included.

1. Crossing the Tiber, by Stephen K. Ray
   This is also a convert story which is fascinating. But the real value is in
   his footnotes which are extensive, which explain and validate many of our
   Catholic truths. He excells in his method of explaining doctrine.
   He mentions this catechism in his bibliography.

4.The Catholic Catechism, by John A. Hardon
“This is a very extensive, easily read, and well organized compilation of
church teaching.”

1. A Short History of the Catholic Church by Joe Orlandis
   Gives some nice background and important spread and impact on the earth.

And a website that is easy for anyone to use for basic points of the Catholic faith.

“A Simple Path,” by Blessed Mother Teresa.

I truly feel that God used this book to draw me back home.

Anyone baptised as a Catholic is always a Catholic no matter if they walk away from the Church so you should talk to a priest about coming home.
