About From Fire, by Water: My Journey to the Catholic Faith
Sohrab Ahmari was a teenager living under the Iranian ayatollahs when he decided that there is no God. Nearly two decades later, he would be received into the Catholic Church. In From Fire, by Water, he recounts this unlikely passage, from the strident Marxism and atheism of a youth misspent on both sides of the Atlantic to a moral and spiritual awakening prompted by the Mass. At once a young intellectual’s finely crafted self-portrait and a life story at the intersection of the great ideas and events of our time, the book marks the debut of a compelling new Catholic voice.”Sohrab Ahmari is emerging as one of the finest minds and writers of his generation, and the story of his conversion recounted here will stay with the reader for a very long time.” –Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, from the Foreword and “[A] striking memoir. and ” –Ross Douthat, The New York Times”Lives — indeed, as I believe, eternal destinies — will be changed by this book. I wish every angry young man who hates God could read this moving, challenging personal confession of a still-young man who has been where they are, and who gained wisdom and release.” –Rod Dreher, The American Conservative”If I could, I would order a copy for everyone graduating college this year. An urgent and compelling account of the search for truth.” –Ed Condon, Catholic News Agency”The author’s extraordinary gift for writing truly approaches, as best as one can at any given time, a true account of the incomparable beauty of the reality he recounts.” –Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke”Relentlessly honest, deeply moving, Sohrab Ahmari’s story of his intellectual and spiritual journey from dismissive disbelief to vibrant Catholic faith — a journey propelled by some intriguing companions, including Nietzsche, Camus, and Koestler — is food for both mind and soul and an important testimony to the invigorating power of truth.” –George Weigel, Author, Witness to Hope and The End and the Beginning”This book is a testimony of Eucharistic triumph. God seeks us and will transform us if we let Him. Sohrab Ahmari’s beautiful memoir will help all of us trust in God alone better.” –Kathryn Jean Lopez, Editor-at-Large of National Review “Remarkable. . . . From Fire, by Water is a spiritual memoir perfectly suited to our time.” –Jonathan V. Last, Commentary”[B]rave, honest and often very dramatic . . . a powerful story, powerfully told.” –The Tablet”Ahmari’s memoir took me to places I have never been, and gave me a fresh look at people and places that seemed very familiar. Most especially, Ahmari’s book explored a restless human heart, searching and seeking, until, quite unexpectedly, coming to rest in the Lord.” –JD Flynn, Catholic News Agency”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”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”Memoirs written by people who are still in their thirties are almost never of interest to anyone. Sohrab Ahmari’s, however, is a grand exception.” –Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University”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”[A] forthright and well-written spiritual memoir.” –Hannah Niemeier, The New Criterion”His book offers a long, candid, and unsparing look at the young Ahmari, at the Shi’ite Muslim society into which he was born in Iran, and the secular America where he came into maturity.” –Philip F. Lawler, Catholic Culture”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”[E]loquent prose and a compelling story.” –Madeleine Kearns, National Review”An arresting sort of modern-day permutation of St. Augustine’s Confessions. Like Augustine’s spiritual autobiography, Ahmari’s compellingly written memoir is punctuated with soul-aches and poignant laments for misspent time. It brims with final awe at the irruption of grace into a soul so wounded by sin.” –Julia Meloni, Crisis Magazine”A wonderful read for anyone who is seeking a deeper meaning to life, whether they be persons of devout faith or of none at all.” –Christine Rousselle, The Washington Examiner”An engaging account of [Ahmari’s] journey to faith. . . . extraordinary talents as a writer.” –R.R. Reno, First Things”Ahmari writes beautifully, and the story he tells is fascinating. . . . Although Ahmari’s context is a different one from [Thomas] Merton’s, more than once while reading the book I saw correlations between their autobiographies.” –Gregory Hillis, America”I thought From Fire, By Water was a story about conversion. But it’s far more than that. It’s about the journey of civilization and the great problems of our time.” –Seth Frantzman, The Jerusalem Post
