“Strangers in a Strange Land: Living the Catholic Faith in a Post Christian World” is a newly published book by Archbishop Charles Chaput that is a bold critique of today’s America, a provocative look at the post-Christian public square and the gradual erosion of the religious faith and freedom that have marked it for so long.
The archbishop offers prophetic, empowering guidance on how Christians — and especially Catholics — can successfully overcome these challenges and not merely survive but reclaim the joy, the beauty and the grandeur of life in the world.

I found the book to be a very quick read that addressed many topics that are on the mind of many Americans about the direction and values of the current American society. It is an excellent commentary on the challenges each Christian (Catholic) has been facing over the last 20 to 50 years of our rapidly changing culture to a more secular lifestyle. Archbishop Charles Chaput’s book gives us direction to a road that will reestablish American principles and show us how to make God and faith a primary factor in our daily lifestyle.
Anxious to read it!!
In my recent writing My Thirty-seven Books in response to a suggestion from Matthew Kelly’s, for one of the books included A Canticle for Liebowitz, I originally read this either in high school or college and later when I found out that I shared it with former Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput who I also share a birth year, he is three month younger, and many e-mails while he was in Denver which he always answered immediately. I await the arrival in the book store of his newest work “Strangers in a Strange Land: Living the Catholic Faith in a Post Christian World” which after I read likely will be added to this list.
I will buy the book when I come back home from TX. Love Paul
