Arriving at Amen
Seven Catholic Prayers That Even I Can Offer 
By Leah Libresco
Foreword by Mark P. Shea

"Atheist convert Leah Libresco is well-known for her sharp mind, dogged curiosity, and fresh perspective on faith. 'Arriving at Amen' puts those gifts on full display. Her reflections on prayer and the spiritual journey are brilliant, unique, and utterly refreshing. With this book, Leah hasn't just arrived at Amen; she's arrived as one of the premier young, Catholic writers today."

Brandon Vogt

"At once a conversion story and a practical treatise of the exploration of prayer, 'Arriving at Amen' is a surprising little gem of a book, so fresh and insightful it belies Leah Libresco's status as a recent convert to Catholicism. 'Arriving at Amen' literally made me gasp, because I suddenly realized I was holding a diamond; the most intellectually stimulating, humbling, and entertaining Catholic book I have read in a very, very long time."

Elizabeth Scalia
