Mass Confusion: Why I Rejected The Church For So Long And What Changed

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).
