Pierced by a Sword by Bud Macfarlane Jr.

I have already read it twice and plan to read it again and again. I was so touched by all of them, especially by CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN. I am an avid reader, and have read many, many books (including all three of Bud's books). In sum, I would most highly recommend PIERCED BY A SWORD to any Catholic seeking insight into a more full expression of their faith. The book has really inspired my wife and I to pray together more often and to weave our faith ever more tightly into our daily lives.Īdditionally, PIERCED BY A SWORD taught me many things about Marian prophecy and traditional theology I had not considered previously. I would literally sit for hours reading the journey towards greater faith by lapsed Catholics or Protestants and of practicing Catholics.

PIERCED BY A SWORD offers its readers insight into the workings of the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Mother.

Macfarlane's fantastic and captivating novel. I usually read the Bible and the writings of the Church Fathers but, at my wife's insistence, I read Mr. PIERCED BY A SWORD is the first fiction book I have read in over ten years. Thank you for making such a big difference in our lives! God bless you!

I am truly looking forward to more works by this wonderful Catholic author.Įvery Catholic Must Read PIERCED BY A SWORD!įive years ago, I read PIERCED BY A SWORD on the recommendation of a Bible Study friend-it changed my life! I had considered myself a good Catholic, but reading this book opened my eyes and my soul to the Truth! My fifteen-year-old daughter also came alive in her faith after reading it. I just finished it and it left me on the edge of my seat-but in a different way than I felt prior to Y2K. It was so realistic that it spooked me! I am glad now that I waited. However, I began reading HOUSE OF GOLD in late 1999 and had to put it down after two chapters. I cannot thank you enough.Īfter reading PIERCED BY A SWORD, I was hooked on Bud Macfarelane's books! I read CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN immediately upon publication. I have not read a full-length non-stop thriller in years-finding one about the Catholic faith has helped me get closer to my spirtual side. deserves many compliments and congratulations for writing a very touching, inspiring, insightful Catholic novel. Bud, your work is a blessing-this born-again Catholic will never be the same!īud MacFarlane, Jr. Beware! If you choose to read PIERCED BY A SWORD you may find yourself praying at work, home, play and with just about anyone.
