I have really appreciated and enjoyed all that is contained in this book. It is an excellent follow up to Roger’s first book and manual, and I know it will be of enormous benefit to many Catholics. I found his straight-forward approach to so many of the challenging areas of our faith, and the helpful examples given, well worth reading and reflecting on, based as they are on real life situations and the pastoral challenges they present.
This very helpful book is written in Roger’s own particular easy to read style. It is an invaluable reference book and should be carefully studied and kept on the bookshelf of every Catholic. It will be referred to far more often than you may at first expect!
I strongly recommend it.
Sister Margaret Scully RSC (Sydney, Australia)
This is an excellent book, full of the sort of information that many Catholics would be unaware of on their faith journey. For example; how to meet Jesus in the difficulties which confront us; and the power of Jesus’ healing love that is available to us in so many ways, particularly through the Sacraments, the Word of God and through personal ministry. I could almost hear myself saying the same words.
The Holy Spirit is indeed at work in this book. May those who take hold of it, not only read it but allow Jesus to speak to them through it and experience His New Life.
Fr. Francis Onwunali (CCR Liaison Priest Brisbane)
Catholics, “Stay Alive!” not only portrays a deep understanding into the teachings of the Catholic Church but is also an excellent practical guide to Christian living. It is not as easy to stay alive as it is to come alive, however, one cannot stand without the other for effective Christian living. This is exactly what Roger, the author, is presenting to us in his well-researched work which is very easy to read.
If anyone is looking for a down to earth approach and basic understanding of the Catholic faith, I believe this work is a great place to start. I sincerely recommend this book not only to Catholics but to all Christians who wish to nurture and strengthen their faith.
Brother Max Sculley DLS (Brisbane, Australia)
Roger L’Huillier’s book Catholics, “Stay Alive!” provides the reader with very helpful guidelines to help his fellow Catholics grow in their faith. The author’s direct, down-to-earth style reflects his extended pastoral experience in these areas. I highly recommend it for Catholics wishing to grow in their faith.
Fr. Bill O’Shea (Brisbane, Australia)(Scripture scholar and former rector of Banyo Seminary.)
I am in admiration of the work that has been put into this project and how comprehensively such a wide variety of topics have been covered. I believe this work will strengthen the faith of many readers and lead them to a greater familiarity with the Scriptures. The inclusion of suitable passages for reflection and meditation will also prove very helpful. Readers will also benefit from the many case histories, testimonies and stories which are included throughout the book.
I personally appreciated much of the humour and pearls of wisdom which you have drawn from many sources.
Congratulations on your work.
Bishop Mark Edwards OMI, DD PhD. (Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne)
Thank you, Roger, for the opportunity to read your book. I found the sections which deal with God as caring for us (me) very encouraging. They were, in places, deeply moving for me, especially the chapter on Inner Healing.
Fr. Rob Galea (Bendigo, Australia)(Song Writer and Singer)
I have read through your book, Roger. You are doing some amazing work. The Church is in desperate need of a deep and personal encounter with Jesus Christ. You book points very clearly to knowing, loving and serving Him. Well done.
I know that this book will impact many lives!
I wish you all the very best with it!
