Have you ever lapsed in your Catholic faith? Let things slide for a while? Stopped practicing altogether? Was there a time in your life when you asked yourself, "When's God gonna call me back?"
Then let others learn from your experience - others who are hurting, who have lost their zeal for the Catholic faith, who remain sporadically involved in the Church, who need to understand why they’ve left, what’s kept them away, and how they can come back.
Whether you’ve found your way home or are still searching, I want to listen to your story, learn from it, and use what I’ve learned in my newest book, When’s God Gonna Call Me Back?, scheduled for release in Spring 2010 by Liguori Publications. Written in the same warm conversational tone as When’s God Gonna Show Up? and using entertaining and thought-provoking stories, Scripture passages and reflection questions, When’s God Gonna Call Me Back? will help episodic Catholics become more fully alive and part of the Church. Tell me your story in person, over the phone, via email or personal letter. Sign your name or submit it anonymously. No names or identifying details will be used in the book, so your story will remain confidential. Guaranteed. Answer the questions below and send it to the contact at the bottom of the page. It’s that simple, and it can do so much good!
Now hurry. There are people out there waiting for the hope and healing only you can offer them. Likely, you’ll experience some healing of your own in the process!
1. Why did you leave the Church? What was the defining moment in which you said, “That’s it. I’m outta here!”?
2. What kept you away and for how long? What substituted for your relationship with the Catholic Church? With God?
3. What brought you back? What was the defining moment in which you said, “I’ve gotta go home!”?
4. May I contact you if I have further questions?
