SOLOMON GRAY

The Original Search Engine

A woman I know stopped going to church seven years ago. She couldn't tell you when exactly. There was no fight, no scandal, no argument. One Sunday she slept in, and the next, and the world closed in around the space where Mass used to be. Last month she told me she'd been thinking about going back. I asked her what changed. She said: “I ran out of other places to look.”

This book is for her. And for the seven books of the Bible she's never read — the ones that were waiting the whole time.

Scripture's answer to the questions people actually ask — about suffering, friendship, love, meaning, desire, and what a well-lived life looks like when no one is watching. Most Catholics have never read them.
