As a well-educated college English professor, she saw no need for just-so stories about God. Secure in her fortress of atheism, she was safe (or so she thought) from any assault by irrational faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut then something happened . . . How did she come to “lay down her arms” in surrender to Christ – and then, a few years later, enter into the Catholic Church?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the moving account of her unusual journey. It is the story of an academic becoming convinced of the truth of Christianity on rational grounds – but also the account of God’s grace acting in and through her imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the tale of an unfolding, developing relationship with God, told with directness and honesty – and of a painful surrender at the foot of the Cross. It is the account of a lifelong, transformative love of reading – and the story of how a competitive fencer put down her sabre to pick up the sword of the Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this book is a tale of grace, acting in and through human beings but always issuing from God and leading back to Him. And it is the story of a woman being brought home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ignatius Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036586131696,"sku":"9781586179991","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781586179991_p0.jpg?v=1763798562","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781586179991","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
