All the Beautiful Things : Finding Truth, Beauty and Goodness in a Fractured Church

Taking as its theme beauty from ashes the beautiful image from Isaiah 61:3, All the Beautiful Things: Finding Truth, Beauty and Goodness in a Fractured Church is written at a time when the Catholic Church and its people are reeling from years of scandal. This book asks questions throughout and attempts to answer them based on the authors lived experience; but it also engages a wide range of conversation partners. These answers are the result of interviews, surveys and conversations with people who love the Church, but seek reform and renewal. It is a cri de coeur, a cry of the heart to try to reclaim what has been lost. It is a taking up of a cross and walking on a journey paved with all manner of challenge. In the end, the authors hope is to help others to rediscover the truth, beauty and goodness that still exist within Catholicism.
