	*Biography of Rev. Hosea Ballou* (#2374) Maturin Murray Ballou (1820-1895).

	Fifty Years in the Church of Rome (#2619) by Father Charles Chiniquy (1807-1865) This book is written by one who knows. Born and raised in Catholicism, for twenty-five years Father Chiniquy was a prominent priest in the Roman Catholic Church. He saw; he heard; he experienced things the Church of Rome tries to keep hidden. Chiniquy’s whole being revolted against the practices in the Church. Helpless within that church, he removed her shackles and stepped out a free man. As an ex-priest he lays bare to public view many facts which Protestants had previously regarded as unbelievable and the Roman Catholic Church had branded as rumor. This book is filled with human interest, holding the reader’s interest from the first page to the very last. It is a warning to the unwary non-Catholic. It is an appeal to the Roman clergy and laity.
