Summary: Surprised by Truth 2
Review: This book was as exciting to read as Surprised by Truth. I couldn't put it down. This is a wonderful book for non-Catholics, but it is also great for Catholics. It strengthens the cradle Catholic's faith. I believe the writers successfully relate their journeys and the gut wrenching decisions made in leaving their church, family and friends. I believe what impresses me the most is the fact that searching for truth led them to Truth. Honestly, there were no knocks on their doors. God planted the seed of faith in their hearts and they let it grow. A wonderful book and easy to read!

Summary: Marvelous
Review: This is a marvelous book. It put into words all I have learned about my Church since converting 13 years ago. It is usually diffucult to explain the Church, but now it will be a much easier job. The stories are interesting and easy to read. I recommend it highly! I would like to rate it higher than 5 stars.

Summary: Apologetics Meets Innovation
Review: When Pat Madrid brought together "Surprised By Truth" he innovated the Catholic apologetics movement by bringing together the stories of various converts to Catholicism from Protestantism. That first book revolutionized the Catholic Apologetics world and sparked many immitations.Yet few can immitate Pat Madrid except Pat himself. This is proven in "Surprised By Truth II," in which Madrid once again demonstrates why he is a leading Catholic apologist in North America. This book goes beyond the scope of the first book, bringing together the stories of converts from non-Christian religions, reverts who left the Church and came back, as well as people who re-ignited their Catholic faith after falling away for a time to follow secularism and the ways of the world. As such, it reaches a wider audience than Pat's first book, asking questions which trouble modern man. I highly recommend this work, which can be read in short sittings and which will challenge even the most mediocre Catholic to rethink their faith.
