Why would Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, say that the world, especially Catholics, need to read this story of redemption? Why would he claim that Transfigured is one of the most powerful conversion stories ever written?

Because Patricia Sandoval’s life story is an unusually gripping, hard-to-put-down ride along a journey that leads to an extraordinary triumph of God’s mercy—the mercy that waits patiently for all of us. Patricia came from a broken home, good and bad boyfriends, three abortions, a job at Planned Parenthood (where she was told never to reveal what she saw), followed by methamphetamine addiction and homelessness. The way that Jesus came to her in the streets will leave you breathless, as will the heights to which God has since carried her.

If you know of someone who believes they cannot be forgiven or return to Church, this is the book to give them. (Watch the video of reader comments below.) Read Transfigured. Be Transfigured.

Patricia now travels the world as a pro life speaker, sharing her story with millions in packed stadiums and on radio and television shows, such as EWTN’s Bookmark, Life on the Rock, Women of Grace, At Home with Jim and Joy; and in Spanish, on EWTN’s Cara a Cara, Nuestro Fe en Vivo, Ellas lo Dicen—and now on her own show with Fr. Víctor Salomón: De Dos en Dos.

Transfigured, endorsed by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, and Bishop Michael C. Barber, has been translated into Spanish (Transfigurada) and French (Transfigurée). Patricia Sandoval's story is also available on a critically acclaimed, life-changing DVD, as seen on EWTN. See PatriciaSandoval dot com.

Review:

 "Are you ready to read one of the most powerful conversion stories ever written? I couldn't put this book down! . . . This story is made for the big screen. It's that incredible. What is contained in these pages is about as raw, real, and riveting as a story can get. Filled with heartache, pain, loss, forgiveness, tears, reconciliation, and joy, it is a story of God romancing a soul.
     So prepare yourselves for a wild ride, my friends. You are going to witness the innocence and beauty of a woman, named Patricia, being restored. You are going to learn how Jesus, Mary, and Catholicism have the power to transfigure any soul."
