The God That Prevailed

<I>The God That Prevailed</I> traces the journey of an adopted Catholic of the baby boom generation who joins a religious cult and his incredible thirty-year spiritual odyssey back to Catholicism.</P><P>Dennis Gerard Embo eldest of six adopted children dreamed of serving as a Catholic missionary priest in central Africa. Not long after entering the seminary in 1970 Embo abandoned Catholicism and became an ardent disciple of an eccentric West Coast advertising-genius-turned-televangelist by the name of Herbert W. Armstrong. The eventful journey includes Embo's sometimes-bizarre experiences after pledging unquestioning allegiance to Armstrong's secretive heretical sect--the Worldwide Church of God. Only years after the death of Herbert Armstrong did Embo and tens of thousands of other sect members awaken as if out of a spiritual stupor to acknowledge the extent of their departure from the historic Christian faith. Thus begins Embo's pilgrimage with his wife back to the Catholic faith.</P><P>Embo's poignant reunion with his birthmother in 1977 is a critical part of his story. His experiences as an adoptee later brought him to a profound appreciation of Catholicism's 2000 year-old proclamation of the Gospel of Life. <I>The God That Prevailed</I> is a thrilling and inspiring spiritual journey.</P>
