“It’s fascinating to walk into a church where it often feels like… a lot of people are walking out.”
Carpenter, Author, Speaker, Potter
Welcome to today’s special features that are part of the Chris Haw Blog Tour, for his new book from Ave Maria Press, From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart: Rekindling My Love for Catholicism. With a quote like the one above, you know you are about to meet someone with an interesting story to tell.
Chris Haw indeed has quite a story… Born Catholic and raised that way until he was a teenager, he and his family became part of the midwestern mega-church, Willow Creek. Today he lives in Camden, NJ where he lives near, and is part of the community at Sacred Heart.
Today you will get several chances to meet Chris and learn about his book; I hope that you explore them all. You will not be disappointed. In this post you meet Chris and can watch a video about him. Later you will find an excerpt from the book, and finally a review of the book.
Speaking of the book, you can buy it directly from Ave Maria Press, at an indie bookstore, or from B&N, or Amazon. No matter where you buy it, if you like it, leave a review at one of those sites. Spread the word -we need more good news. And Chris has no shortage of it.
And you can win a copy of the book, by simply leaving a comment here at the blog! A short comment or a long one, a good one – or whatever comment. Leave your comment and your name will be entered into a drawing to be announced tomorrow.

Hi Fran – liked his intro…..should be a very interesting book
Looks good Fran Thanks for sharing it here.Blessings
Had a friend who left Catholicism for a Willow Creek church. She changed. Our friendship, sadly, did not survive her transformation. I would be interested to read a book like this to find reasons why.
Sounds interesting – makes me want to read the book!
Sounds interesting, would like to read the book.
