In Search of Truth: A Layman's Guide to Catholic Spirituality

Have you ever wondered: “Is there really a God? If God does exist, why can’t I find him? Does God really answer my prayers?” These are questions we have all struggled with during our lives. The author shares his own journey in discovering the answers to these questions.

In Search of Truth, A Layman’s Guide to Catholic Spirituality is for people of all religious beliefs who are interested in developing a more personal relationship with God. The guide teaches you how to search for and how to find God. You’ll learn the importance of developing a daily prayer life and gain insight into how scripture, the Blessed Mother, the saints, meditation, and fasting can help you build a stronger relationship with God. You will learn how Christ’s church and its sacraments, especially the Eucharist, help you strengthen this relationship.

Mr. Gross explores the true Catholic faith versus what people think Catholics believe. The book includes a layman’s guide to the celebration of the Mass (Eucharist), and contains a section on daily prayers, and a glossary of religious terms.

“In Search of Truth” has been granted a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur from the Catholic Church which means it is free of doctrinal or moral error.

At the age of nineteen, Chuck Gross was sent to Vietnam to fly helicopters. There he experienced firsthand the ravages of war. He saw the impact that war had on man and discovered how faith helped one sort through the emotional trauma that soldiers experience in combat. Years later, his experience in meditation drew him to the great mystics of the Church. He spent several years studying their writings including the early writings of the Church Fathers. Mr. Gross has over twenty-five years of teaching experience and has worked in youth ministry. He is the author of the number one best seller "Rattler One-Seven, A Vietnam Helicopter Pilot's War Story" and is a retired Captain with American Airlines.
