TikTok-famous nun and Protestant-turned-Catholic Sister Lisa Hezmalhalch invites readers into her discovery that following Jesus meant becoming a Catholic, one faith question at a time.
Sister Lisa Hezmalhalch gets why some Christians aren’t part of the Catholic Church—and why they could never imagine themselves in it. She grew up Protestant, thinking that Catholicism wasn’t real Christianity, but also had a nagging sense that there was something more than the faith she knew. Now she invites us to listen to that questioning voice within our own hearts that tells us there are more spiritual riches to be found.
In A Rome for Restless Hearts, Sr. Lisa takes readers step by step through the most common questions and worries about the Catholic faith, from the veneration of Mary to the role of women in the Church, showing how the Catholic faith was already offering what her soul was seeking and how this journey of faith led her more deeply into relationship with Jesus. With her characteristic wit, Sr. Lisa shares with readers about her own questions, misunderstandings, and reluctance about Catholicism, helping readers discover the Catholic faith anew.
A Rome for Restless Hearts is a roadmap back to the deepest riches of faith, beginning with simple questions and accessibly guiding readers to greater understanding and spiritual experience. Sr. Lisa’s invitation extends far beyond those who already identify with the Christian faith, welcoming spiritually curious or even skeptical readers on an adventure to see what people have found in this 2,000-year-old tradition.
Sincere and informative, A Rome for Restless Hearts is essential reading for anyone who’s ready to take seriously their own spiritual hunger—and to allow their spiritual wondering to lead them to surprising places.
