It's the top source of anxiety for many Catholics: someone they love, whether a child, relative, spouse, or friend, has walked away from the Catholic Church. They wonder how this could have happened, how this person who once faithfully attended Mass and perhaps even went through Catholic schools eventually decided they want no part in the Catholic faith.

Their heartache naturally leads them to ask, why? Why did they leave? Each person is unique, and each has a story to tell. But typically, a handful of common objections pop up again and again among former Catholics. This book will familiarize you with each objection, but even more, it will teach you exactly how to respond. You'll learn how to reframe the objection so your loved one sees things from a new perspective, and you'll also discover some good books relating to the objection, to go even deeper.
