| book description |

""Sohrab Ahmari is emerging as one of the finest minds and writers of his generation, and the story of his conversion recounted here will stay with the reader for a very long time."" --Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, from the Foreword Raised under the shadow of Iran's ayatollahs, Sohrab Ahmari rejected God as a teenager. Nearly twenty years later, he was received into the Roman Catholic Church while working as a journalist in London. In From Fire, by Water, Ahmari tells the dramatic story of that transformation - from a restless youth shaped by Marxism and atheism on both sides of the Atlantic to a moral and spiritual awakening sparked by the beauty and discipline of the Mass. Both an intellectually rigorous memoir and a cultural reckoning, the book traces a life formed by the defining ideas and upheavals of our time and presents a powerful and compelling Catholic voice. This new edition features a fresh preface by the author, in which Ahmari reflects on the profound cultural shifts since his conversion in 2016, revisits the convictions that first drew him to the Church, and considers the demands of faith in an age of moral and political uncertainty.
