About this title

Synopsis

Dread going to church? Feel restless and bored during mass? Cringe at the hypocrisy often found in organized religion? This book offers a fresh perspective for those seeking answers. A quick and compelling read for anyone who daydreams in the pew and can't wait until mass is over, resents or is confused by a rigid list of out-of-touch dos and don'ts, has been hurt or alienated at church, and believes church is irrelevant for real people with real problems.
 
Mass Confusion reveals how an unlikely pilgrim-a corporate attorney turned hospice nurse-was finally able to grasp the life-changing truths of her faith. After 40 years of drifting in and out of the church, Susan Dolan experienced a life-transforming event that led her to renew her spirituality, return to her faith, and rediscover joy and peace in the midst of the Catholic Church's ravaging sexual-abuse crisis that caused untold thousands to reject the Church.
 
Mass Confusion garnered  the 2023 IndieReader Discovery Award in the Religion category, a Bronze Medal in the Catholic Book Division of the 2023 Illumination Book Awards, and the Shelf Unbound 2022 Indie Best Award (Notable).
