Most Catholics, baptised as infants, have no memory of how they became Catholic; probably just as many have no memory of a specific time when they decided they no longer belonged in the Church. Bob Cameron describes such Catholics as ‘collapsed’ Catholics and suggests that, like him, many of them have a confused as well as a clouded memory of belonging to the Catholic tradition. 21 Days Back to God describes his personal journey of how he became a ‘self-exiled’ Catholic, how he stopped running away from the Church and the various steps that were part of his pilgrimage of return. The book includes his own simple program of revival and renewal, offered to other seekers and pilgrims. It is a voyage of rediscovering the meaning of life, a new sense of belonging – above all, the joy of coming home.

Bob Cameron tells his story with clarity and love, clearly overjoyed to be safely back home in the Church he once stormed out of in rage. It’s a story we can all get behind.

Bob Cameron was born in 1947 into a British Catholic family and raised in the faith’s education system. Aged 18, he angrily rejected the Church. Working as a journalist, Bob then began a 42-year media career. After covering the Northern Irish Troubles, he migrated to Australia in 1971 where he rose to become a senior executive in Kerry Packer’s media empire. In his fifties, Bob finally awoke from his ‘long spiritual coma’ and embarked on the challenging but ultimately healing journey of returning to the Church.
