Description: "[A] very affecting story of a well-known prodigal's return. . . .Called Out of Darknessis the vivid, engaging tale of the journey of a soul into light." -Chicago Sun-Times "Rice couples her writing talents with the zeal of a recent convert." -Christianity Today "Rice could rival C.S. Lewis as a popular apologist for the faith." -Time "Rice's memoir shows what true belief really involves. It exacts a price. James Agee had a lovely term for this. He called it 'cruel radiance.'" -Los Angeles Times "Anne Rice is not a convert but a revert. . . . A loving reconstruction of the preVatican II Church of the 1940s and 1950s. . . . [After] twenty-five years and twenty-one books . . . Rice entrusts both herself and the people she loves to God." -First Things "Called Out of Darknessis rich in both poetic simplicity and liberating confessionals. This memoir is not to be missed." -East Bay Literary Examiner "I am not a Christian and I normally don't read what I would call Christian books. They don't appeal to me, they don't interest me and I normally pass them by in the bookstore. . . . [But] I picked up [Called Out of Darkness] up this afternoon and it's beyond wonderful." -Jamieson Wolf "As a long-time reader of Anne Rice's, the impetus she presents here makes me want to re-read many of her prior works. I highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks the inspiration and motivation behind the bestselling novels they've read."-BookReporter.com "Nothing short of magnificent. . . . What a real blessing, what a vulnerable sharing." -Flos Carmeli "A lovely, intelligent book." -PopMatters "Even if you don't consider yourself to be a religious person-even if you are not a Christian-read this book. Anyone can appreciate the message contained inCalled Out of Darkness. . . . It is a thinking person's approach to faith." -Edge(Provincetown, MA) From the Trade Paperback edition.
