A Cradle Catholic's Long Road Home Tim Francis grew up in New Carlisle, Ohio, in a faithful Catholic household — but by the time he reached college at Ohio State, the faith took a back seat to partying and eventually substance abuse. His journey into addiction in his early twenties set him on a dark path that would last years. The Mom Who Kept Praying While Tim was drifting, his mother Patricia Ann was praying — rosaries, Mass, Holy Hours, prayer journals, and letter campaigns. She was sending Tim cassette tapes of Scott Hahn's conversion story as early as 1988, even when he wasn't remotely interested. She never pushed, never gave up, and never stopped interceding. A Slow, Surprising Return Tim's path back to the Church wound through a megachurch Bible study, debates with Catholic apologists Tim Staples and Father Mitch Pacwa held in his own living room, and a stunning Fox documentary on a woman with the stigmata — a tape his mother sent him. Each thread, years apart, was quietly part of the same answer to the same prayers. The Book — and What Came From It Tim is the author of From the Crack House to God's House: The Power of a Mother's Prayer, a raw and honest account of his journey that he says will make you "hate me and love my mom." He also has a new book in the works: The Men Who Knew the Apostles, expected out within the month. A Message for Moms with Kids Away from the Church Tim's direct word to Catholic moms: don't stop praying. Use every tool available — including the stigmata documentary his mother sent him, available on his website — and ask the Holy Spirit to go before your children as they watch it.
