Description

Bishop Joseph Strickland is one of the Church’s boldest and most courageous leaders. His outspoken support of orthodox faith and morals, the sanctity of unborn life, and reforming Catholic institutions have made him a hero even to Catholics outside his little East Texas diocese.

In Light and Leaven he offers a forthright perspective on the state of the Church and the world today and calls on the lay faithful to meet its challenges unflinchingly. We must not shrink from the culture, he says, but be a light to it; we must not retreat from the world but leaven it with grace and truth.

In his direct and conversational manner, Bishop Strickland touches on a wide range of topics, including Church renewal in a time of scandal, the central importance of the Eucharist, how to build strong marriages, the need for prayer and silence in a noisy and distracted age, and the battle between good and evil in which all Christians are engaged. He will inspire and edify you with his wise insights, pastoral common sense, and evident love for souls.

    I love that Bishop Strickland is not afraid to speak the truth about traditional Catholic Theology and Doctrine, when sadly not all of our Bishops are. It's a short read, very insightful and informative, and highly recommended!

    If you want to learn how to be a better Catholic and learn how to meet the modern day challenges of the Church, then read this book. For those that don't like heavy reading, this is only 176 pages and beautifully written making it easy to read.

    This is certainly a great insight into our current church status, and how we can contribute to her mission as parishioners.
