A Church in Crisis

Pathways Forward

By: Ralph Martin

Narrated by: Ralph Martin

Nearly 40 years ago, Ralph Martin's best-selling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the church faces even more insidious threats from outside and within.

In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching. With copious evidence, Martin uncovers the forces working to undermine the Body of Christ and offers hope to those looking for clarity.

A Church in Crisis covers:

• Polarization in the church caused by ambiguous teachings
• Initiatives that accommodate the culture without calling for conversion
• Vatican-sponsored partnerships with organizations that actively contradict the teaching of the Catholic Church
• And the recycling of theological errors long settled by Vatican II, Pope St. John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI

Powerfully written, A Church in Crisis reminds all listeners to heed Jesus' express command not to lead his children astray. With ample resources to encourage readers, Ralph Martin provides the solid foundation of Catholic teaching both Scripture and tradition to fortify Catholics against the errors that threaten us from all directions.

A balanced and well studied work

This was an incredibly balanced and well-studied work that was also very well narrated by it's original author. For both those convinced that there are no problems within Christ's church and for those who feel nearly overwhelmed or dispirited by the problems they see within the church, or even just for anyone else of solid christian faith and an interest in Catholicism, this is a must read.

Great Analysis, Few Solutions

Perhaps the best analysis of the problems facing the church I’ve ever read, but very few practical solutions are offered. Also it’s really long. But an expert analysis incorporating scripture thoughtfully throughout. God save us!

Author Narrates the Truth

I am well aware there are many who do not like audible books that are narrated by the author. I am NOT one of them (unless it is fiction).

Furthermore, I am a big fan of Ralph Martin and consequently and frequently watch his YouTube channel, Renewal Ministries. I enjoy listening to his Spirit led and grandfather-like delivery. Nonetheless, if the listener does not, and is finding it difficult and or distracting to listen, then I would strongly encourage said person to BUY AND READ the physical book because this message needs to be heard. Let us pray for each other's holiness and God's blessings to be upon us.
God bless Ralph Martin and his ministry.

Loved it! A must read for Catholics!

Thank you for all the hard work in getting this book to print. An excellent resource for lay men, clergy and seminarians. Delves into uncomfortable issues within the Church, while at the same time showing how there is always hope moving forward....

The Struggle is REAL

This Read IS NOT for the faint of heart! Be brave and soldier on! We are in a true BATTLE!
But we have been given everything we need for VICTORY!
