So many of us who grew up in the Catholic Church do not know the WHY behind the parts of our faith that are often misunderstood and sometimes attacked. Occasionally, that leads to uninformed Catholics leaving their faith instead of researching answers.
Canadian award-winning recording artist Chris Bray found himself being asked questions he couldn’t answer while ministering in vibrant evangelical churches. This sent him on a fact-finding mission that led to his book, 'Resounding Truth.'
Chris reflects on his personal journey, detailing how his experiences in various Christian denominations have broadened his perspective on worship, community, and God’s grander plans.
