Confessions of an Ex-Feminist
Confessions is the honest and heart-rending account of a woman
who was born into a Catholic family, but ran into major
roadblocks in college. Amidst the radical feminist college
environment of the 1960's, she lost her faith, and her morality.
When she discovered she was pregnant, Murray followed the route that feminists
offer as a solution for unmarried women. Much to her surprise, her abortion
was a shattering emotional experience, which she grieved over for years. It
was the first tragic chink in her feminist armor, and her first
realization that God was calling her back home.
Review(s):
Lorraine Murray's Confessions are a revelation. They reveal the
nasty truth behind women's "liberation". Her experiences, and the
lessons she learns from them, serve as a timely warning of the
folly of feminism and the destructive impact that feminism has
on those who fall under its malignant spell.
- Joseph Pearce, author The Quest for Shakespeare

How Shall We Celebrate?
Celebrates 30 liturgical and secular days to remind us
that Jesus breathes in the heart of every event—from
the promise of Advent, the sparseness of Lent, the exuberance
of Easter, to the fullness of Thanksgiving. Illustrated
throughout by Jef Murray.
Review(s):
“What I love about this book is how Lorraine takes very ordinary
things and weaves them into the rich fabric of special days.
It is ‘where’ the ordinary events of our lives best fit. She
takes what has been given to her and offers it back to the
reader in holiday garb—lovely, inviting, redemptive and,
I might add, eternal.”
—From the Foreword by James Stephen Behrens, Monastery of the Holy Spirit
