Here are the compelling stories of eleven "reverts," Catholics who fell away from the Church and eventually came back home. Some of the people are well-known, such as Fr. John Corapi, Jesse Romero, and Rick Strom, while others are known only in their smaller circles. Nevertheless, each person's story of why he left the Catholic Church and why he returned is a unique and moving tale of God's mercy, love, and grace.
There is one common denominator, though, among the writers of Welcome Home! To paraphrase Archbishop Fulton Sheen, few hate the Catholic Church for what she teaches, but millions hate her for what they think she teaches. The defining moment of illuminating grace almost always came when our storytellers began to examine Catholic teaching for themselves.
"I have no doubt that those who read Welcome Home! will take from these intriguing conversion stories a renewed spirit of confidence and devotion. In this book they will also find an informative source of Catholic apologetics that will especially attract those who have shared similar life experiences in their sincere search for truth and reconciliation with the Church of their youth, which is indeed the Covenant Family of God where the One who is Truth Itself abides forever." - Fr. Bill Casey, C.P.M. From the Foreword
