The Truth Set Us Free: Twenty-three Former Nuns Tell Their Stories

Read This Book!

My husband and I bought this book, and we are thrilled by these testimonies.

Not only are they very encouraging, many of these nuns theology is amazing. I found myself weeping at times, especially to see these women who were in such bondage set free and led out of a damning religious system by Gods Holy Spirit!

I really don't want this book to end!

If you have any family who are Catholic, this book could prayerfully touch a chord.

There's no better witness to our families and friends then someone who was caught up in the same religious cult they are, and who were miraculously freed out of it by God's hand.

A BIG thank you to Mary C. Hertel

The Gospel message and the love of the Lord ring true in each testimony!

I bought two of these books, one for myself and the other for two former nuns that left the Catholic church years ago. One of the nuns was my wife's Aunt. This book is
a good tool to give to Catholics that are searching and need to know the truth! Scripture is used extensively throughout to refute Catholic false doctrine! The plan of salvation is also laid out simply and clearly in each testimony!
As a former Catholic I was blessed to read how each woman was set free from the awful bondage of the Catholic church and how they came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Wonderful book and highly recommended!

Who saved a wretch like me!

Thank you for this great book. It brings back memories of my own earlier journey through the indoctrination of the Catholic Church, which I too was born into.
Watching Sunday after Sunday as the priest preformed the same dead and boring rituals at the altar, stirred up many unanswered questions about this God I was supposed to obey. Requiring to kiss a visiting Bishop's rather large red ruby ring, horrified me as we were poor like many other families in the church, and this ritual I found to be demeaning and condescending. The few well-off parishioners curried much special attention and favor from the priests while neglecting the deep personal needs of the poor.
One poor single teenage girl found herself pregnant and rejected by the Irish parish priest's compassion and help. When he visited my devout mother on one occasion, he
expressed his disgust as this poor girl and her predicament.

Many other alarming incidents in the church turned me against this loveless and merciless Catholic God. I subsequently became an atheist as a young teenager.
After many years in the wilderness of darkness, shear loneliness, sin and despair, one night, at the age of 34, i was given an invitation to attend a local protestant mid-week church service.

It changed my life forever. I was forgiven and set free by the only way possible, the Gospel message of salvation. My Lord has faithfully been renewing a new heart within me, through many of those much-needed red hot trials and tribulations of refinement, ever since. How utterly unworthy and undeserving I am, but eternally grateful to the only true and loving God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) of the Christian Bible, who could see in me, a soul worth saving.

May God continue to bless your laboring's in His harvest field for as long as He wills it.
Your sister-in-Christ

Chock Full of Eye-Opening Biblical Truth

I have only read 8 short, heart-rending chapters of The Truth Set Us Free by Mary C. Hertel, and I am already ordering more copies to share with people trapped, as I was, in the sad deception of the Roman Catholic Church. I plan to cut the book into chapters and share them individually as well as entire books to certain people. This long overdue collection of short testimonies is chock full of eye-opening biblical truth, as former nuns who have escaped the ineffective bonds of works salvation have told their experiences in such loving and beautiful ways. I was especially touched by the story of the 71-year-old nun who finally found Christ and continues to serve him into her eighties as a born again believer. Being from a Catholic family, i have siblings who are still spiritual prisoners, because they refuse to read the honesty of the Holy Bible and choose to put a pope's erroneous teachings and the traditions of men first in their lives. Their faith is so wasted and dead, and they continue to walk in darkness instead of trusting the Son of God as their savior. May God open their eyes and hearts to His truth.

Excellent read, though sad to see what these women go through.
