Press Review Summaries for Catholic Roots,
Mormon Harvest:
"Please, LDS presses, no more conversion stories! Well, maybe one or two
more, so long as they¹re as good as this one is! Shuster has penned a
remarkable meditation on what it meant to be Catholic, and what it now
means to be Mormon. He¹s done his homework.”
Jeff Needle, Association for Mormon Letters

beautifully written – concise, straightforward, personal, and heartfelt. I
give it ten out of ten from every aspect, and recommend it to anyone with
a sincere desire to find truth. “

“This is not just the story of Eric and Marilyn Shuster’s religious
journey; it is the story of the journey of all devout truth seekers.”
Mark L. McConkie, son of the late Elder Bruce R. McConkie
“Eric puts forth the most complete comparison of Catholicism and
Mormonism that I have ever seen, providing ample references as well as his
thoughts and commentary on 40 doctrines and practices. An excellent
resource for all honest truth seekers.”
John Webster, LDS Resources

“I was impressed by the high level of respect the Shusters showed toward
the Catholic Church and the way in which they expressed gratitude for the
many good things they gleaned from their experiences … This isn’t a bitter
tale of why they left—instead, it’s the story of how they came to believe
that the LDS Church had things to offer them that would build upon their
Catholic foundations.”
Tristi Pinkston, LDS Author

"Eric Shuster's "Catholic Roots Mormon Harvest," will appeal to Catholics
as much as it will interest members of the The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints… The decades he spent as a non-Mormon give Shuster a
distinctive vernacular, though, that gives even the most well-known
doctrines a fresh makeover.”

Reader Comments for Catholic Roots, Mormon
Harvest:
"This book is just what I have sought for such a long time. I couldn’t put
your book down after I started reading it, and now I have all of my
questions answered. Bless you for spending the time, energy, and
intellectual focus to create such a masterpiece."
Ellen Straley, Puyallup, Washington
"I personally feel such gratitude for the changes you are helping me make
in my attitude. I have been taught, or at least reminded by you and by the
spirit that everyone is a child of God, and the way you described your
appreciation of the ceremony and the adornment related to Catholic worship
has helped me realize that Catholics also have deep devotion, and
dedication to their church and it has helped me. Thank you!"
Harry & Marge Gibbons, Salt Lake City, Utah
"To see Catholic Doctrine laid out so well in comparison to Mormon
doctrine is a real first. If I could have had this book when I was taking
the discussions in 1975, I believe my journey would have been so much
easier. Thank you for taking the time to write such an important book.
When the doctrines of the restored gospel are compared to Catholic
doctrine in this way, it’s like a 500w halogen lamp being compared to a
penlight flashlight. The brightness of the doctrine is so obvious."
Tom Kunz, Houston Texas
"I just wanted to let you know that your book is amazing! It is one of the
best books I have read. It is so very well researched and it has taught me
a lot of things about Catholicism that I did not know before (even though
I was Catholic)."
Cristian Clavijo, Salt Lake City, Utah
