Praise for "Almost Catholic"
"Non-Catholic, almost Catholic, and Catholics who could use a
little reassurance will delight in and profit from this book. Jon
Sweeney lays out a convincing case that such classic Catholic
devotions as praying the rosary, invoking the saints, and
venerating the Sacred Heart are all safe paths that will lead us to
the mystery of God."
--Thomas J. Craughwell, author, "Saints Behaving Badly"
"It's about time that a Protestant handled the sacred objects of
Roman Catholicism--both belief and practice--with respect and care.
Jon Sweeney has done just that, giving us a wonderful and
enlightening primer on the faith of over one billion of our
Christian brothers and sisters. Highly recommended!"
--Tony Jones, author, "The New Christians: Dispatches from the
Emergent Frontier," and national coordinator of Emergent
Village
"A rich exploration of Catholic spirituality, using a broad
definition of 'Catholic' that will appeal to Christians of all
kinds.... Those who admire Catholicism, but don't mean to become
Roman Catholics, will love this book."
--Emilie Griffin, author, "Wonderful and Dark Is This Road:
Discovering the Mystic Path"
"Through whimsical exploration and accessible explanations, the
gift of mystery within Catholicism is given to those of us who long
for its depths."
--Karen Sloan, author of "Flirting with Monasticism: Finding God
on Ancient Paths" (karensloan.net)
"Sweeney captures in rich detail the yearning of younger,
contemporary Christians for the historic faith. Almost Catholic is,
first and foremost, a love song written in the tradition of G.K.
Chesterton himself."
--Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The DivineHours, author, "The Words of
Jesus"
