By: Sister Lisa Hezmalhalch
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 she also had a nagging sense that there was something missing from the Christian faith she already knew and loved. Now she asks us to listen to the questioning voices within our own hearts that tell us there are more spiritual riches to be found in unexpected places.
In A Rome for Restless Hearts, Sr. Lisa takes readers through some of the most common questions and concerns about Catholicism, including the veneration of Mary and the role of women in the Church. With her characteristic wit, Sr. Lisa shares with readers her own questions, misunderstandings, and reluctance about Catholicism, and how she discovered that the Catholic faith was already offering her soul what it was seeking: a deeper relationship with Jesus.
This book is a road map to help readers access the deepest riches of the faith, her answers serving as signposts to guide readers toward greater understanding and spiritual experience. It is also an invitation extended by Sr. Lisa, not only to those who already identify with the Christian faith but to the spiritually curious and even the skeptical, so that anyone may discover for themselves what others have found in this 2,000-year-old tradition.
Charming and informative, A Rome for Restless Hearts is essential reading for anyone who’s ready to listen seriously to the grumbling of their own spiritual hunger—and allow it to lead them to a surprising feast.
