Book Description
Far From Rome Near To God contains the moving testimonies of fifty priests who found their way, by the grace of God, out of the labyrinth of Roman Catholic theology and practice into the light of the gospel of Christ. But this is not a narrowly polemical work, nor is its relevance limited to the ongoing controversy between Rome and the churches of the Reformation. The love and concern felt by the former priests for those they left behind, and their fervent desire that they too should experience the joy and peace of salvation in Christ are seen throughout. The wider relevance of the experiences described will also be felt in many contexts remote from Roman Catholicism where human pride and presumption have erected rival sources of authority between people and the Word of God, so obscuring the way of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone.

Sonja Campbell-Scott –
This is the second time I am reading this moving account of how God’s gracious and loving hand touched the lives of these former priests and set them free from spiritual bondage and fear. I highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand why it is so hard to reach those who have been brought up with the doctrines of the Roman Catholic system. However, it will show you above all else, that nothing is impossible with God and that accepting the perfect sacrificial love of Christ casts out fear and sets us free.
