From Fire, by Water: My Journey to the Catholic Faith

From Fire, By Water is a book that I would place in the hands of any young, over-confident, over-zealous skeptic. It's a book that college-age kids need to read as they flirt, perhaps for the first time, with new ideas that sound avant-garde and rebellious for rebellion's sake, but only end up disappointing. --Andrew Walker, The Public Discourse [A] forthright and well-written spiritual memoir. -- Hannah Niemeier, The New Criterion --Hannah Niemeier, The New Criterion A thought-provoking story . . . a breath of fresh air . . .The author is a gifted wordsmith, ably portraying a variety of colorful scenes and scenarios -- physical and philosophical. --Lela Gilbert, Newsmax If you're going to write a book about your religious conversion it'd better be a great yarn. And if you're going to write a memoir while you're still in your early thirties you'd better be a great writer. In From Fire, by Water Sohrab Ahmari has both boxes checked. . . . Ahmari is a precise and evocative writer, which makes From Fire, by Water easy reading and good reading. --Matthew Hennessey, The University Bookman Remarkable. . . . a book of many virtues, the most unexpected of which is Ahmari's subtle brand of comedy . . . . From Fire, by Water is a spiritual memoir perfectly suited to our time. --Jonathan V. Last, Commentary Magazine Buy Sohrab's superb book for its story of personal faith but also its revelations of life under a farcical theocracy. --Tim Stanley, The Catholic Herald
