Voice of Grace Collected Works

About the Book

Voice of Grace Collected Works includes Voice of Grace: A Love Journey of Challenge and Triumph to Peace and Joy! and Poetry and Prayers: A Companion to Voice of Grace. Voice of Grace is a personal story of a woman’s unusual health conditions...her upbringing in south Louisiana...her family...marriage...and spiritual awakening to return to the Catholic Church after 30 years.

Voice of Grace seeks to explain the Catholic faith to Grace’s family. Her realization of lost time teaching the faith impelled her to include information in the story -- much of it drawn from the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other writings.

Persons who have a desire to return to the Catholic faith after being away may fi nd courage to return. Others who have been away from their own faith denomination may be inspired to return to their own faith or investigate Catholicism.

Voice of Grace is a memoir detailing the life of Grace Dupuis Hunt, its joys and sorrows, and a happy childhood in south Louisiana interrupted by years of complex illnesses, wellness, marriage to a successful business man, departure from the Catholic Church for 30 years, and then her dramatic return!
