Letters to Exodus Christians: Comfort and Hope for Those Who Have Trouble Going to Church Book

A voice of encouragement, hope, and compassion for the 10 percent of Americans who identify themselves as "former Catholics" and the many more who wrestle with their belonging to the church. Fans of Edward Hays's earlier books will recognize themselves or loved ones in these courageous letters from this trusted spiritual guide. A priest for fifty years, Hays understands the pain and anguish of Catholics and other Christians who feel disheartened by or alienated from the church. These letters offer compassion, spiritual guidance, and good reason to hope for these "Exodus Christians" and for those who provide them pastoral care. He reminds his readers that being a faithful disciple of Christ means much more than going to church every Sunday and challenges them to live the gospel every day of the week.
