This fascinating collection of
essays by some of today's most provocative Catholic
writers shows that the truly spiritual person looks at
everything—including relationships, love, and sex—as
invitations to experience God.
James Martin, S.J.
Author of My Life with the Saints
This is a much-needed book for the
John Paul II generation of Catholics. There is a new and
fresh spirit in the air of the Church and Angelo Matera
is making a substantial contribution to it.
Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R.
Author of The Virtue Driven Life
There is an honesty in this book
that is very rare in religious writing these days. These
people have spied God, and glimpsed the mystery that
lies at the heart of everything.
Scott Hahn
Author of Reasons to Believe: How to
Understand, Explain, and
Defend the Catholic Faith
If you, or anyone you love, is tempted to think of
Catholicism as anything but compelling and
revolutionary, you need to read Faith at the Edge.
This is an excellent book.
Brian Saint-Paul
Editor, InsideCatholic.com and Crisis Magazine
