From godspy.com--a Catholic website with a cultural, intellectual, and an orthodox point of view--comes this compelling collection of twenty-one unique and powerful personal narratives. Gathering the experiences, fears, and joys of young adult Catholics whose search for faith often puts them on a collision-course with modern society, this anthology explores the mysterious, exhilarating, and sometimes infuriating terrain of faith. With celebrated contributors like Paula Huston, Matthew Lickona, and John Zmirak, and compelling personal narratives like "Porn and the Sacred Heart" and "My Tallahassee Purgatory," these essays give voice to the struggles and triumphs of a new generation of Catholics who are transforming the Church.

All of these stories are written in a way that
is brutally
honest and sincere, but titillation or shock value doesnt seem to be
the
point. Instead, these are candid reflections on faith in practice, and
this is
where the real value of the book is found. <Click

review>
This book highlights an exceptional group of young Catholics. Those
living in Catholic Worker homes or remaining chaste before and after
marriage are in the minority. For young Catholics living "on the edge,"
these essays provide encouragement and companionship on a difficult
path.
The unifying quality of these essays is their thoroughgoing honesty.
Even as these authors share their stories of how the beauty of the
faith has been revealed to them through their struggles, they also do
not mince words about those struggles.
A collection of essays, written by talented and hip young Catholics,
describes a valiant struggle with trying to follow the Catholic
Code.?
This really is edgy stuff, but as the authors believe, that's where
faith takes you. Click
here to read the entire review.
...nuggets of wisdom, insights into the mystery of God that will nurture
the faith of those looking for a place to call home as well as those
who long ago found a faith where they belong. Read
