The Appalling Strangeness of the Mercy of God

This is the inspiring tale of Ruth Pakaluk, a remarkable lady who converted to Catholicism at Harvard, married her college love, and joyously welcomed seven children. She rose to prominence as a pro-life activist and outstanding debater before succumbing to breast cancer at the age of 41. 

Ruth's inspirational narrative is conveyed mostly via her hilarious, dazzling, and perceptive letters, which reflect her honest optimism. Her husband's biographical summary fills in essential aspects about her life, and the book concludes with a selection of her presentations on abortion, religion, and being a Catholic wife and mother.  

Ruth Pakaluk had the strong integrity of someone who lived her beliefs. She was devoted to Christ and the culture of life, as seen by her continual affirmation of life in her family, in society, and even in the face of her own mortality. Ruth was praised as the greatest, most powerful, and inspirational pro-life speaker he had ever heard by Peter Kreeft, a well-known philosopher and novelist. She was such a convincing and fluent pro-life debater that Planned Parenthood spokeswomen finally refused to debate her in public.

All of Ruth's qualities exposed in this book #NAME? truth, and her faith and hope while suffering a fatal disease - inspire and encourage anybody attempting to put Christian faith into action.
