As a well-educated college English professor, she saw no need for just-so stories about God. Secure in her fortress of atheism, she was safe (or so she thought) from any assault by irrational faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what happened? How did she come to \"lay down her arms\" in surrender to Christ and then, a few years later, enter the Catholic Church?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the moving account of her unusual journey. It is the story of an academic becoming convinced of the truth of Christianity on rational grounds -- but also the account of God's grace acting in and through her imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the tale of an unfolding, developing relationship with God -- told with directness and honesty -- and of a painful surrender at the foot of the Cross. It is the account of a lifelong, transformative love of reading and the story of how a competitive fencer put down her sabre to pick up the sword of the Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this book is a tale of grace, acting in and through human beings but always issuing from God and leading back to Him. And it is the story of a woman being brought home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586178932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Holly Ordway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51616339558581,"sku":"9781586178932","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e0a34289-66c1-44dc-b256-bbf6a2a3fb56.jpg?v=1756189048","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/not-gods-type-9781586178932","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
