I have been asked many times to recommend a book or tape to give to a loved one who has left the Catholic Church. My Life on the Rock is definitely on my recommendation list. What makes Jeff’s story so appealing is that it deals with both the theological and emotional issues related to returning to the Catholic Church.The Late Bishop Paul V. Dudley
