“The people of God are in a time of historic crisis, but that doesn’t mean it’s a time devoid of joy, purpose, and new identity. Quite the opposite. It’s a time when we need to lean in to all of the above. Catholics in Exile shows us the way.”
- Chris Stefanick

ENDORSEMENTS
“I highly recommend this latest work from Scott Hahn and Brandon McGinley, Catholics in Exile. As believers experience themselves as ‘strangers in a strange land’ amid increasing secularization, these reflections offer practical advice and inspiration, drawing on the biblical narrative, to help disciples on their pilgrimage toward our true homeland, which is heaven itself.”
-Bishop Earl K. Fernandes
Bishop of Columbus (Ohio)
“This book is a storehouse of spiritual insight and natural wisdom for Christians facing the stresses of our age of extremes. Don’t miss it.”
