Very Good/Very Good. 1st Printing First Edition per complete number line.Hard cover in very good condition with orange boards, black spine cloth, and gilt spine lettering. Text block clean & tight with no marks to note. The last 40 or so pages have mild ripples, but no actual creases (appears from being shelved incorrectly by a former owner.) 310 numbered pages. Dust jacket very good; bright & crisp; not price clipped. * From the book, ""A Defining Moment in the Life of the Church: Even before the terrible revelations of sexual misconduct and the cover-up that allowed such atrocities to continue happening, the Catholic Church was in trouble. With a devout but aging congregation giving way to a generation of so-called lapsed Catholics, the spiritual vitality and significance of the church had seemed, in the context of modern American society, to be ebbing away. Then when the scandal hit, even true believers were pitched into an all-out crisis of faith. It was at this low point that a fiercely committed group of Catholics emphatically said, ""Enough!"" This book tells their inspiring story, the story of Voice of the Faithful, a grassroots organization formed to give the laity a voice in making their church a more effective spiritual and social force.""
