Hurting in the Church

A Way Forward for Wounded Catholics

By: Fr. Thomas Berg

Narrated by: George W. Sarris

Far too many Catholics have had painful experiences in the Church, and many have simply opted to walk away. Fr. Berg opens his audiobook with the story of the painful and life-changing crisis he experienced in the Church that ultimately, against the odds, led him to love the Church more intensely notwithstanding the sinfulness of its members. Along with his own story, Fr. Berg intertwines the stories of other Catholics who have themselves experienced life-changing hurts, but who, in Jesus, found healing.

Riding the momentum of the Year of Mercy, Fr. Berg offers these reflections as a necessary examination of conscience, and a clarion call to Catholics to become healers of an ailing inner culture of our Church, and to heed Pope Francis' call to incite a revolution of tenderness in our faith communities.

Ultimately, this audiobook is about hope for wounded believers: If you have been hurt in the Church, Jesus can take you on a journey through your wounds, a journey of healing that will make you an even better human being, a better Christian, and a better disciple.

Not a 'once read and done' Book

This is a wonderful book, especially for Catholics who have been hurting over the continual birage of news about scandals involving priests.
