Millions of faithful Catholics feel a deep love for God, but wrestle with a quiet sense of spiritual fatigue. They live in fear of mortal sin, wonder about their standing with God, and hope they're doing enough to one day escape purgatory and earn heaven. If this feels familiar, When the Roman Bough Breaks sounds a peal of hope: this is not the life of faith Christ intended for you!
This book embarks on a compelling journey, drawing together extensive published research and investigative journalism to pull back the curtain on a history many have never been told. It examines how the simple, grace-filled movement of the early apostles evolved into a powerful, institutional monarchy. You'll explore:
- The Complex History of the Papacy: Discover the often-shocking and turbulent history of the popes and how it shaped the Church we know today.
- The Changing Church: Discover how core doctrines-from Purgatory to Papal Infallibility-were developed centuries after Christ for reasons of power and politics, and how broadly things have changed over time.
- A System in Crisis: Understand the devastating, centuries-long consequences of priestly celibacy and the secrets hidden behind Vatican walls.
While these truths may be challenging, the heart of this book is an invitation to discover the incredible freedom of the New Covenant and the original Gospel preached by the apostles, including:
- The True Meaning of Forgiveness: Grasp the life-changing reality of God's complete, permanent, one-time forgiveness that was accomplished at the cross.
- The Power of Grace: Understand how you have already been made righteous and holy in God's eyes, not by your performance, but by His unmerited gift.
- A Life of Assurance: Find lasting peace by resting in the security of Christ's finished work, freeing you from the fear of punishment and the anxiety of trying to check all the boxes.
If you are ready to embark on a vibrant relationship with Jesus, this book is your welcome guide. It's an invitation to experience the profound joy and unshakable security that is your free gift in Christ. Discover the simple, powerful Gospel that can truly set you free.
