Enter the Strange--and Discover the Truth That Transforms
W. Tyler Allen, host of St. Anthony's Tongue podcast, beckons us into the mysterious heart of the Catholic faith with his long-awaited book debut, A Catechism of the Strange.
Allen, who has a gift for finding beauty in the weird, shows how the stigmata, visions, relics, and miracles experienced by the saints point to an extraordinary truth: We are meant to be transformed in body, soul, and free will into the likeness of Christ.
Whether you are hungry for the grace that emanates from a mystery deftly delivered, or you are driven by curiosity to learn more about these phenomena, this book will speak to you. Seeing that the supernatural is connected to the hidden work of grace in daily life is liberating, empowering, and fascinating.
