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\u003eBut then something happened . . . How did she come to lay down her arms in surrender to Christ - and then, a few years later, enter into 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\u003e It 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","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671723761937,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781586179991.jpg?v=1781517068","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-not-god-s-type-by-holly-ordway","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
